On Thursday 25th August 2016, Samantha Thompson has sadly stepped down from the position of Chairperson at St Helens Sea Cadets. After a long 4 years in this position, Samantha has elevated St Helens Sea Cadets and Mill Street Barracks in many ways. Through continuous funding projects and driving restoration within the unit, Mill Street Barracks has been significantly improved. From projects such as the new Marine Engineering Classroom, Main Deck Restoration & new Accomodation block, Samantha has been driving the force behind this. We will certainly miss Samantha at St Helens Sea Cadets and we wish her all the best with her new Veterans project within the St Helens community. 

On Thursday 25th August 2016, St Helens Sea Cadets held the Annual General Meeting of 2016.

Sadly, Samantha Thompson has stepped down as Chairperson and has been replaced by Denise Bull for 2016 onwards. Pauline Wardropper has also stepped down from the Committee. Both members will be missed at St Helens Sea Cadets and we wish you all the best in the future.

We also have new appointments of Hannah Cowell as Secretary & Jackie Ward as Treasurer. Good luck in your new positions!

Every year Asda St Helens nominate 3-4 charities/organisations in which if voted by the public, they award a cheque for £200 towards their cause. Once again, we have won this years token competition and were awarded the cheque for £200. A Big Thank You to all who voted for us!

To celebrate Armed Forces Day, St Helen Sea Cadets at Mill Street Barracks will have various stalls including SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association), SAMS (Support and Management Solutions CIC), AddAction - The Right Turn Project, Royal Naval Association, Enchanted Gifts, Avon, Bric a Brac, Book Folds, Body Products, Face Painting, Raffle and much more...

Refreshments will be available at Mill Street Barracks (St Helens Sea Cadets) after the parade. Details of the parade are available on the St Helens Council Website.

After a very successful year in 2015, Scimitar was awarded another Burgee! This flag represents the upper strata of the Sea Cadet Corps and signals the major improvements/achievements the ships company have completed in 2015-16. A massive thank you to all the Adult Volunteers and Cadets that made this possible (both Past & Present)

A message from Aaron Greenall (OIC 2014-16)

"T.S Scimitar I have been informed by PO Dillon of the good news of receiving a Burgee tonight. I would like to pass on my congratulations to each and everyone of you, as I know how hard you have all worked throughout the year to achieve this prestigious achievement.

I know you will all smash it again this coming year and look forward to hearing about all the exciting times and great adventures that you all get up to.

I will always hold Scimitar close to my heart and continue to be a massive supporter of her Ships Company.

Bravo Zulu

Aaron"
