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!
