Two Rotherham Cadets were at the opening of Tesco's new town centre store after Rotherham Sea Cadets were nominated for a share of £5000.00. Thankyou to Tesco and also to the union GMB and Mr Wordsworth for giving our Parent committee a cheque for £350.00. 

Rotherham Sea Cadets took part in the Annual Remembrance Day Parade and Service in Rotherham Minster on the 9th November 2014. The Army, Army Cadets, Air force Cadets and Police Cadets also joined us on the parade. 

Well done to Cadet Wilson on competing in the Honda Rib Challenge in August 2014 taking on Cadets from all over the district

Cadets from all over the District joined together to celebrate Trafalger Day hosted by Rotherham Sea Cadets.                                                  On Sunday the 26th October 2014, Cadets from Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster, Thorne, Royal Marine Cadets and Police Cadets paraded through Rotherham Town Centre before and after a service in Rotherham Minister. The day was a great success. Thankyou to all Cadets and staff who were in the Parade.

We currently have two cadets aboard TS Jack Petchey. Ordinary Cadet Smelt and Cadet First Class Woods boarded Jack Petchey at Poole on Saturday 27th September 2014 and set sail the day after to Weymouth stopping off at Lulworth Cove along the way. The morning of the 29th Jack Petchey sailed across the English Channel to the Island of Alderney which is one of the Channel Islands to a little harbour called Braye, where unlike the previous two ports Jack Petchey is moored in the centre of the harbour. The morning after they sailed back across the channel where they spent the night in the bay at Swanage where I believe one of our Cadets was on watch from 12 midnight to 2 am. The next day 1st October TS Jack Petchey travelled up The solent and into Portsmouth beside TS John Jerwood. On the morning of the 2nd both boats sailed around Portsmouth Harbour past HMS Victory and the HM Naval Base, past HMS Daring and then moored in Gosport to finish there week off. What a brilliant experience! We look forward to hearing about their week on their return.
