Four Medway Towns Cadets represented West Kent District at the Area Paddlesport Competition on Sunday 16th July 2017 at Dreadnought Reach, Reading.
The Cadets had to leave the unit at 0645, they were then driven to the venue & took part in the cross stream challenge, 2km & sprint races in kayaks & canoes. One of the team was awarded a silver medal for the double kayak sprint.
Medway Towns Unit participated in the annual parade at the Great Lines war memorial in Brompton, where two minutes silence is observed & wreaths laid (including one for the Type 21 Club in memory of those who died on Type 21 Frigates in the Falklands conflict 1982). The unit then divided, Cadets and staff then attended parades in Rochester and Victoria Gardens, Chatham.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
10 lucky Cadets and 2 Staff had the privilege of having a guided tour around HMS Kent an active Type 23 Frigate while it was moored in Dover, on Sunday 2nd October 2017. A Lieutenant from the Ships Company gave a very detailed and informative tour which gave the Cadets an insight to what life is like on a Royal Navy Warship.
Cadets took part in the Annual District Swimming Competition where the Cadets are put into different swimming races including backstroke, breaststroke, front crawl and butterfly. Several Cadets took park with a variation of medals and positions achieved, everyone came away with something. One cadet preformed extremely well and will be going forward to Area to represent West Kent in November.
8 Cadets and two members of staff joined HMS Cavalier throughout August attending various courses which were being run. Three Juniors attended the Naval Acquaint course which is designed to give new Cadets the chance to experience the basics of being a Sea Cadet. The other 5 Cadets completed specialisations including Chartwork and Navigation and Meteorology. All Cadets passed their courses, well done to all. A big thank you to the two Staff who supported the courses onboard.
