 On 31st January 2013, we held our Presentation Evening where awards in various categories are presented to cadets to recognise their achievements throughout the previous year.  Our ViP for the evening was Mrs. Catherine Mead, the High Sheriff of Cornwall, and she made the presentations.  We thank all of our distinguished guests and parents for attending the evening, and also our donors for providing sailing bursaries for some of our award winners.

Over the Christmas break, some of our staff have been very busy doing some modifications to the Unit's main deck.  One of the small rooms has been removed to make more deck space, and the walls surrounding the lower classrooms have been plastered and painted.  To finish off, the main deck floor was covered in self-leveling compound and repainted.  Thanks to everyone one gave up their time for this.

On 8th December, our cadets did a foyer collection in Sainsburys in Falmouth, and collected an impressive £299.70 across four shifts.  Also, on 16th December, our cadets descended on Tesco in Helston to do some bag packing, and raised an excellent £567.74 for the Unit. A huge "thank you" to the cadets and staff who volunteered for these two days.

On Saturday 24 November, our cadets were involved in an Asda Bag Pack to raise money for our Unit.  Eighteen cadets in total took part across two shifts lasting four hours each!  In total, they raised £837.15, which is the highest amount for an Asda Bag Pack in three years! A huge "thank-you" to all the cadets for their hard work.

Falmouth and Penryn Sea Cadets were involved this year in raising money through the Poppy Appeal for the Penryn area.  Through the hard work of members of our Unit Management Team, and with the assistance of our cadets, we managed to collect £15347.46 for the Royal British Legion.  An outstanding total!
