Over the weekend of 19th to 21st April 2010, we had 12 Junior Cadets from the units based around Cornwall attend our unit. During the weekend the cadets had tasters in day walking and orienteering, yacht and dinghy sailing and Cook/steward. Fun was had by all and the cadets went away with an insight into some of the activities availible to them in the Sea Cadet Corps.
District Junior Weekend - 19th to 21st March 2010
New Central Heating System Installed
Over the last two weeks, we have had a new heating system installed, comprising a new gas combi-boiler and new radiators throughout. Our original boiler was showing its age, being less then 65% efficient and well over 20 years old! The new boiler has replaced both our old central heating boiler and our separate hot water boiler, and is very efficient, so we are looking forward to some smaller gas bills!
Southwest Area Drill Competition - 6th March 2010
On Saturday 6th March, cadets from our Unit represented the Cornwall District at the Southwest Area Drill Competition. Given that they only had three weeks to train as an Unarmed Squad (they trained for the District Competition as an Armed Guard), they still came in third place out of nine Districts! A magnificent effort! Congratulations also go to our Squad Commander, L/C Close, for being runner-up in the "Best Squad Commander" category. We would also like to thank all of our supporters who travelled to HMS Raleigh for the competition, and the staff and helpers that made it all happen.
Visit to 849 Squadron - 17th February 2010
On Wednesday 17th February, 14 cadets from our Unit spent the day at our affiliated squadron at RNAS Culdrose. The cadets were invited along based on how much they had supported the Unit at all the fund raising events during 2009. The day consisted of tours of the squadron, flights in the Seaking MK7, a visit to the Flight Deck Operations simulator where the cadets all had a go at directing an aircraft to land on a ship deck, and the day finish off with a tour of a hawk jet.
District Drill Competition - 12th to 14th...
Between the 12th and 14th February 2010, the annual District Drill competition took place at HMS Raleigh, Torpoint. The weekend consisted of training on the Saturday where the team had the Southwest Area parade staff to train them, and the competition on the Sunday morning. Our Unit entered the Armed Drill event and came away with Best Guard, Best Dressed Guard and Best Guard Commander. Unfortunately there will be no Armed section at the Southwest Area Drill competition in March so, as there was no Unarmed Drill team at the District event, our team will now be representing Cornwall at the Area event in the Unarmed section. We would like to thank all the supporters that came up and supported the team.
