Activities includes ice skating, swimming, camping and map & compass work.

We expect to have more weekends under canvass in the future.

Costermongers' Harvest Festival 2016

September is not complete without the Costermongers' Harvest Festival at Guildhall in the City of London.

Our cadets paraded alongside cadets from Hornchurch as well as representatives from the Royal British Legion and HMS President, and watched the traditional entertainment on show before marching to St Mary-le-Bow Church.

The event was attended by many Mayors, Donkey's and Carts, Marching Bands and of course the Pearly Kings & Queens and many other colourful characters such as the Chelsea Pensioners.  

Three cadets travelled to Weymouth for a busy weekend training and their Pre Dinghy Instructor Skills Assessment.

Next will be the Dinghy Instructor Course.
