Today, we opened our doors to the supporters, parents and guardians of the cadets that give our unit life! They were given the option to kayak, sail, windsurf, powerboat and row over the course of the day!

With each person involved, it allowed the parents to see what their children get to experience each time they come down the unit! It provided insight, fun and a all around good day for the staff and parents involved!

There's more than one way to help!

This year, T.S. Sutton Coldfield took part once again in the annual Sutton Coldfield Community Games! Here, we had drill examples as well as gave small seamanship sessions to passers by!

Our cadets were out on the offence as they approched and engaged with members of the community, getting them to complete our tasks and spreading the word of what T.S. Sutton Coldfield does!

BZ to all the cadets involved!

For the first time in several years, T.S. Sutton Coldfield sent a Senior Boys Rowing Team through to the Area Competition. After weeks of intense training, the time for their passion and skill had come as they raced against eight other teams.

Fending off the competition, the Senior Boys came 1st, 1st, 2nd and 1st, leaving them to be the Overall Winners of the Senior Boy Catagory 2018! This secured their spot in the National Competition, a feat that hasn't been accomplished by Sutton Coldfield Sea Cadets in many years!

BZ to all teams and good luck at the National Competition!

This year, we entered a team consisting of a single Quest into the competition! With little-to-no-training, the team managed to pull through every race with their determination and skill.

On their first time sailing together, the Quest team successfully managed to take 1st Place at the District Competition, beating several other teams in their catagory and securing their place at the Area Competition!

BZ to the team, good luck at Area!

This weekend saw our annual boating regatta go ahead. This is where all of the units in Warwickshire District come to Sutton Coldfield to compete in Rowing and Boat-Handling events

Junior Boys Rowing: 3rd

Junior Girls Rowing: 2nd

Open Mixed Yole: 3rd

Open Girls Single Yole: 3rd

This led us to get 2nd place overall at the Regatta!

Well done to all involved and good luck to our Senior Boys at Area in three weeks!
