As at the 31 Dec 2013 Lt Cdr Gary Truelove left his post as District Officer.

The District arranged a ‘Dining Out’ in appreciation of his service to the district.

This was held a Shirley Unit with some 50+ guest from Units around Warwickshire District attending.

Dress Formal, Mess Dress or No1's with Bow Tie. Civilians - Black Tie, Ladies equivalent.

A pleasant evening was had by all. Lt Cdr Gary Truelove will be remaining in the Corps and Warwickshire District based at Sutton Coldfield Unit.

Last Sunday retired people from across Solihull enjoyed a relaxing afternoon tea courtesy of Shirley Sea Cadets.

The event brought together more than sixty people from five local organisations who were treated to tea, cakes and sandwiches, all served up by the cadets of TS Gamecock at their base in Haslucks Green Road.

Groups represented included: Age UK Solihull, Elizabeth Grove Residents Club, Shirley Community Centre, the Visually Impaired People’s Group and Solihull Moving On Club.

Also in attendance were the Mayor of Solihull, Councillor Joe Tildesley and Mayoress Joan Tildesley, who were ‘piped aboard’ on arrival by 15 year-old cadet Bethany Rose.

Some of our cadets and staff have joined the Solihull canoe club to increase their practice and qualifications in a kayak.

During the winter months they meet on a Saturday morning which we attend.

If any of the cadets would like to join the club, and us on a Saturday let me know as we could meet at the unit.

This also includes juniors and parents.
