As a unit we go boating all year round, but the one thing that is lacking is the units instuctors with RYA Power Boat Level 2 Course. Over 3 Very Cold weekends the Units staff ventured out onto the river and carried out the course.

The unit first major course of 2012 took place at the unit which was a 3rd Class Marine Engineering course held in the Marine engineering facility.

The RNP was the final part of an assessment process which takes place over a number of weeks & includes the Unit review carried out by District staff that look at our training & training Records. The Authority to Train Inspection (ATTI) Once all the reports have been processed from the District & Area Staff these are then forwarded to the Captain of the Sea Cadet Corps who then decides on what efficiency award is to awarded the unit & for the First time in our 4 year history we have been awarded a Burgee which indicates we are in the top 25% of all the sea cadet units in the country & are probably the youngest ever unit to receive this award.

A Fantastic Achievement Well Done all BZ!!!

Below are the Captain of the Sea Cadet Corps Comments of the Report.

Well done on achieving your first Burgee, you have built on the firm foundation from last year & greatly enhanced the cadets' experience. I wish you all good fortune on your aspirations for the next 2 to 3 years I think that to build your waterborne fleet & progress D of E training is commendable. Your Burgee will be awarded.
