TS Mary Rose is Basingstoke's best kept secret, we have been at Harlech Close Winklebury for many years and although the Unit is a little small it has served the Cadets & Staff well, and continues to do so. Monday & Friday evenings are a busy time for Cadets, meeting their oppos (naval term for friends) before the official duties of the evening, starting with colours, its then time for some exciting instruction, maybe navigation or marine engineering, at 20.00 hrs its time for 'stand easy' this is the naval phrase for tuck break, after this its then time to finish up the lesson before a tidy up and Evening Colours to finish off the official duties of the evening. During Spring, Summer & early Autumn the action really gets going as we travel the short distance to Burghfield Lake in berkshire, here we sail our Laser pico, Wayfarer & kestrel, we also have a power boat and rowing boat, this is the highlight of the week and we spend the whole day at the lake.
