To all our Cadets, Volunteers and Supporters have a great, safe and happy 2022. 

2021 will be a hard act to follow as we undertook so many activities, both ashore and afloat, and achieved a record number of qualifications. This was despite the obvious but essential hindrance of Covid restrictions.

Our popularity is increasing with our waiting list enlarging all the time, so increasingly you will hear of movements towards a new improved headquarters. This won't be tomorrow and will take time but our sights are set and it will be worth waiting for.

In the meantime TS Drax's carbon footprint is being addressed with some ground breaking technology.

Immediately following their success in Poole Park on Remembrance Sunday morning our young musicians dashed to Ferndown. There, after lunch, they similarly led that Dorset Town's Remembrance Parade. Again they received an ovation from the large number of spectators. BZ

We are very proud of the performance of our cadets and volunteers at the Remembrance Service and Parade at the Town's War Memorial in Poole Park this morning. Our band in particular was in excellent tune playing a repertoire that was appropriate to all elements of the Armed Services present. The band proved to be the "beating heart" of the large parade. Our buglers too sounded the "Last Post" much to the appreciation of the many spectators who had supported the event. The salute was taken by our new Patron, Cllr Julie Bagwell, who as Mayor of Poole and Admiral of the Port headed up the civic proceedings and complimented Poole Sea Cadets afterwards. 

The Annual Service of Remembrance and Parade will take place at the War Memorial in Poole Park on Sunday 14th November.

Our Marching Band will lead the parade and sound their bugles alongside the Poole Field Gun Display Team to mark the start and end of the two-minute silence.

The Service will commence at 10.50am and will be led by the Reverend Reg Baldock, with music provided by the Poole Borough Band.
