We are very proud of one of our senior cadets being selected as the NW Area Navy Board Cadet for 2013.

This makes POC Saunders the best cadet of all 58 units in the NW, and he will be an ambassador for the Sea Cadets at a wide range of events this year.

Ryan was presented with his certificate on behalf of the Captain of the Sea Cadets, by Commander Mark Irwin RN, NW Area Officer, at our Awards Night and Inspection on 11 February.

In honour of those who have lost their lives in conflit, the unit supported the Royal British Legion by Poppy selling and taking part in the Festival of Remembrance in Oldham and Remembrance Parade in Middleton.

A group of cadets and staff attended a unit weekend at Crosby Lakeside Activity Centre which is the state of the art boatwork facility.

Cadets took part in powerboating and kayaking, gaining a number of impressive Royal Yachting Association and British Canoeing Union qualifications

Whilst over cadets were away on courses, 6 of our juniors went to Liverpool to see the Royal Navy survey ship, HMS Enterprise.

There they were given a tour of the ship, with explainations on the ship's systems and armourment.
