CADETS & CANALS!

CADETS & CANALS!

Amazing work from CFCs Cayden and Lewis, who embarked on Sea Cadets Offshore TS JOHN JERWOOD last week for a trip through the Caledonian Canal!

Both CFCs gained their Offshore Power Hand Level 1 ticket, and had a blast!

Well done also to our own CI Chris, who put his extensive maritime experience to work shadowing the Crew and is looking forward to more Offshore time in the future!

A huge thank you to Nick from Zebra Signs, who donated a brand-new sign for our brand-new fencing at TS GANNET free of charge!

Nick got in contact via Facebook to see how he could help, and he delivered in spades! Thanks for your generosity, a true community champion. He can be found here, at his website: https://www.zebrasigns.co.uk

OPERATION REFIT continues apace - next stop, re-surfacing works and a new portacabin for our Junior Sea Cadet section! If you think you can help with our continuing refurbishment, please get in touch!

TS GANNET ATTENDS LARGS VIKINGAR FESTIVAL

Cadets and staff from TS GANNET enjoyed a very hot and sweaty day fundraising at the Largs Viking Festival today - a huge thank you to our cadets and volunteer staff for standing out in the sweltering temperatures, and to the public for their generosity and interest in our OPERATION REFIT.

This was our first time fundraising in Largs in a number of years, and we managed to raise over £700 to fund our ongoing refurbishment.

Two of our cadets headed to sea for a week on the TS JOHN JERWOOD to experience life on the waves!

Well done Cadet 1st Class Natalie and Cadet Tiegan for their efforts, earning not only their Level 1 and 2 Offshore badges but also their RYA Start Motor Cruising qualifications!

ARDROSSAN & EAST KILBRIDE TEAM UP FOR DOE TRAINING

A wee break in the weather allowed us to meet up with our friends from East Kilbride Sea Cadets for our Basic Hillwalking course at Whitelees Windfarm in advance of our Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Expedition.

Our senior cadets learned valuable map-reading and orienteering skills as well as practising with some important survival equipment! A long day but a good one!

Thanks to the staff at EK for supporting!
