RNP Success!
Wow! What a fantastic evening our Royal Naval Parade was!
Despite the weather turning us to our alternate plans, the cadets were excellent in showcasing their cadet experiences.
We started with Ceremonial Colours and Inspections with Southern Area Sea Cadets Area Officer Cdr Trevor Price RN speaking with every cadet.
This followed by a few presentations by POC Tash (Berkshire District Sea Cadets Senior Cadet), POC Safron and JCFC Atharva.
The Juniors then demonstrated a new STEM session whilst the RMCD had some fun getting parents and cadets trying out the contents of a 24hr ration pack.
The evening also saw 2 special presentations with the first to former CO and current DDO, Lt Cdr (SCC) Richard O’Keeffe RNR, who was presented with his 5th clasp to his Long Service medal to signify 40 years of volunteering with the Sea Cadets.
Outgoing CO Lt (SCC) Chris Edge RNR, was then presented with a Certificate of Appreciation in what will be his last RNP at the Unit.
Lastly, the evening concluded with the Unit being awarded with a Burgee.
Excellent evening - excellent showcasing of skills - excellent Unit.
