Councillor Jo Clements, The Mayor of Poole, recently visited us at TS Drax to see at first hand the wide variety of onshore training activities undertaken by our cadets on a typical evening.
The Mayor saw knot tying, engineering, drill, meteorology and first aid.
The she was able to successfully practice the Heimlich first aid technique which is performed on a person who is choking.
The Mayor showed great interest in our ongoing proposals to modernise our headquarter facilities, parts of which are eighty-four years old. As part of the discussion our Chair, Lee Hardy, showed her our detailed architect’s model.
Afterwards the Mayor positively reflected:
"I had a very interesting and fun evening at Poole Sea Cadets Parade Evening.
I took part in some of their activities and listened in on the training.
As Patron of Poole Sea Cadets, I am immensely proud and honoured to have been involved in their activities and look forward to visiting again.
The leaders and volunteers at Poole Sea Cadets offer a valuable service to Poole’s community in supporting our young sea cadets and teaching them lifelong skills that they can use in future life experience.
Thank you to all involved in making this possible for the young people of Poole."
