We were delighted to receive nearly £1000 in grant aid from Rio Tinto Alcan through the Scottish Community Fund. The money was given to so that we can buy some expeditions equipment and navigation instruments. The picture shows the cadets having their picture taken for the press release!

FOUR AWARDS IN A ROW
Awards can be a bit like busses. You don’t see one for ages, and then four come along in quick succession. That’s the way it’s been for the cadets of theTS St Christopher. After some thirty years of not winning an ‘efficiency pennant’, theTS St Christopherhas been awarded one in each of the past four years. The last time that happened was between 1976 and 1979 when the unit was run by Lt Tom Golder, of Caol. The 2011 pennant was awarded recently by sea cadet headquarters inLondonand marked the culmination of another year of hard work carried out by the cadets, adult volunteers and management committee.
Lochaber Cadet sets a record
Lochaber Cadet Kieran McFarlane recently entered the 2011 commando speed march from Spean Bridge to Achnacarry. Not only was he the first ever sea cadet, but he was the youngest competitor and he got the quickest time for any cadet of 1hr 20m. He is seen here holding his commemorative medal.
