On Monday 19th January 2015, Scimitar played host to the Area Officer North West and his staff for the annual inspection known as the RNP Inspection Evening. Scimitar demonstrated all of her achievements throughout 2014 in a display of acting/simulating every qualification earned and every competition entered in 2014. Of course there was a lot to show, and indeed the Area Officer was impressed. On completion of the marking, we are awaiting news to see if TS Scimitar will be awarded a Burgee for 2014. News to follow. 

Scimitar has been collecting Food Tins and donations throughout the year and managed to deliver 39.14KG of food to St Helens Food Bank Appeal. Even our very own Mr Bailey delivered food to a local family the weekend before Christmas. 

Every year Scimitar manages to collect as much tinned food stores to help our community thrive in harsh times. Once again, Bravo Zulu for everyone that donated. 

The first competition since its foundation - Merseyside East District - held the District Football Competition in Liverpool on Sunday 14th December 2014. 

St Helens last year were successful with their Junior Girls team who made it to the National Competition. 

The results from the competition were as follows:

St Helens Junior Boys - 2nd Place

St Helens Junior Girls - 2nd Place

St Helens Senior Boys - 4th Place

Good effort all round. Bravo Zulu!

I can confirm that the following trophies were awarded for 2014:

Best New Entry Cadet - CDT Megan Flynn

Best New Royal Marine Recruit - MC Jord Buckley

Best Junior Cadet Award - JC Liam Sharples

Best Starboard Division Shipmate - CFC Lochlan Makepeace

Best Shipmate of the Year Award - PO(SCC) Luke Simpson

These awards were issued by our very own LT CDR (SCC) Arthur Kelsall RNR (Rtd) and the Mayor of St Helens.

Congratulations to all. 

St Helens RMC Detachment attended an intense weekend at Altcar Training Camp competing against other units in the North West Area for a chance to compete in the National Gibraltar Cup Challenge. St Helens RMC have previously competed in this prestigious competition and have been successful. This year seen very stiff competition with other units in the North West and were unfortunately unsuccessful for this year. Their efforts are commended and we look forward to seeing the competition next year!
