Middleton & Chadderton

13 November 2011 ~ Remembrance Parade- Middleton

The unit paraded along side vetrans as well as the other cadet forces to show their support to the Royal British Legion to remember those who have lost their lives in the world wars and conflicts since.

There was a strong presence in Middleton, with a sizable contingent from the Sea Cadets, and far more civilian supporters than before.

This year saw a change to the procedings at the cenotaph, with the Sea Cadet and British Legion standards both being carried by members of the unit, along side the union flag, and this year also saw the Lord Mayor of Rochdale in attendance.

The unit looked very smart on parade and did themselves and the unit proud. BZ

23 October 2011 ~ Manchester and NE Lancs Trafaglar Parade

The unit provided a number of cadets to support neighbouring Manchester district for a parade through the centre of the city, with a short ceremony at the steps of the Town Hall.

The event was over seen by Lord Lt for Manchester who took the salute from the guard of honour, as well as other officials including NW Area Officer, Lt Col Davies RM, and Sea Cadet Senior Staff Officer, Commander (SCC) Evans RNR.

A note worthy mention must go to AC Price who was the only member of the 24 strong honour guard from NE Lancs District, let alone the unit. 

Other cadets and staff from the unit marched as part of divisions overseen by the OiC of the unit who is also the District Coordinator for Ceremonial.

23 October 2011 ~ National Trafaglar Celebrations

Four of the unit's PT cadets took part along with many other Sea and Marine Cadets from across the coutry to comemorate Lord Nelson's victory at the Battle of Traflagar in 1805.

The cadets in question opened the celebrations with a display including club swinging and the skip jump.

See the link below for a video of the displays.

19 July 2011 ~ Farewell LtCdr Sinden

Last night saw LtCdr Sinden's last parade night as the Unit Commanding Officer. To mark the occasion, the cadets and staff had a party at the unit, and LtCdr Sinden was presented with a range of gifts.

He moves away from the unit to concentrate on his Area Training Officer role which he took on last year, but remained in post at TS Tremadoc Bay to complete his ten years of command.

LtCdr Sinden has given much to the unit during his time here, gaining 5 Burgees from the anual Royal Naval Inspections as well as many other achievements.

We will miss him and wish him the best of luck, and also to PO Malm who will be taking the helm in his place.
