The fleet of boats

The fleet of boats

The Sea Cadet Corps believe very strongly in what we are doing as a unit at Harrogate. We sail at Ripon Sailing Club (nr Farnham) during the Summer and recently our fleet has been increased in size by not 1 but 3 RS Quests which are state of the art sailing boats that are specifically approved for teaching Sea Cadets. We also have a Bosun, 2 Toppers, 2 Rowing boats and a Power/Safety boat. We are not short of facilities at Harrogate Sea Cadets.

Never say Harrogate Sea Cadets are not multi skilled or multi talented. Most of the training involves a fun element. Everyone seems to be enjoying this particular learning package (although there are no recorded pictures of them doing the washing up when the smiles may not be there any more!!)

At Harrogate Sea Cadets we don't just do waterborne activities or march around!  We can appeal to all youngsters who want to improve confidence and be valued. Here we see an evenings activities based around ideas from everyone and achieving the task together (and having fun at he same time.) We know its not school!

What an amazing morning we had on Saturday the 21st. Parents UMT members cadets and staff all pulled out the stops to combine well and raise money for our Unit. Everything has a value and everyone, including our treasurer, went away happy. Thanks to Starbeck methodist Church for allowing us to use their buildings, for all the people who donated items (including all those dads who probably did not know they had donated) and to those people who came, bought and handed over their cash!

Bridlington Bonanza

The Unit won a "bus for the day" from Transdev - the local bus network supplier and they used it to transport the cadets to and from Bridlington where the band played for The 8th destroyer squadron annual re union. This time however we used it as a staff and families day out and to say thankyou to all the parents and friends who support the unit with transportation, catering, sewing on badges etc. It was a great day out at the seaside, the sun shone on the day, fish and chips were eaten in abundance , pleasure boats were hired and staff cadets parents and Unit management committee had time to get to know each other. Many thanks to Transdev for making this happen.
