Sea Cadets are showcasing their Trinity 500, our four – person rowing boat at the Samsung World Rowing Cup at Eton Dorney, Buckinghamshire. 1500 schoolchildren arrived today, Friday 21 June, for the sold-out first day of this weekend event.
Indoor Rowing races are running throughout the World Cup weekend – offering children and adults, newcomers to rowing and old hands alike the opportunity to take on their friends and family on the indoor rowing machines.
The weekend offers a chance to show case the many and varied opportunities that are available in rowing, alongside the fantastic competition taking place on Dorney Lake.
Simon Dickie, British Rowing’s Head of Youth & Community and Participation says , “Rowing continues to benefit from the Olympic and Paralympic legacy, and the demand for rowing amongst young people has never been greater, clubs, schools and universities across the country are reporting record memberships and demand for learn to row courses, and this demand is clearly illustrated by the 1500 young people from dozens of schools who have applied to attend the World Rowing Cup on Friday.”

The Falklands Trophy, a Tri-Service cadet adventure competition, celebrated its 30th year on 8 June. Every year cadet teams compete and this year saw Essex Sea Cadets and Royal Marines Cadets, plus Air and Army cadets competing for the prize. It’s a great weekend of adventure, fun and challenge as cadets put their skills and determination to the test.
The last Sea Cadet win was in 2000 but this year, after a 13 year pause, Walton-on-the-Naze Unit finally brought the Trophy back home, well done!

18 cadets and volunteers aged 16 -25 formed a single crew and took part in the RN’s Junior Field Gun competition at HMS Collingwood today, and went through to the final!
They competed against crews (teams) from lots of organisations including the RN, Princes Trust and Army Cadets. They were all competing for the competition shield as well as the Inter Service Cadet shield, which they won last year. The competition sees crews racing with a 1.5tonne field gun.
The Sea Cadet crew drew on cadets and volunteers from lots of units from across the UK including Newcastle and Cornwall. The competition is about team work, commitment, dexterity and coordination while manouvering the equipment over the course.
Well done to everyone who took part.
