We were lucky enough to be invited by the Royal Naval Reserve to run a stall at the Classic Boat Festival at St Katherine's Docks.
At the festival, the cadets ran a 1-minute rowing machine challenge and a knots board as well as chatting to the public about Sea Cadets and what they get up to. We have already had a lot of enquiries from prospective new entries so your hard work was worth it!
Before the festival opened to the public, we were invited onboard HMS Example, a P2000/Archer Class Royal Navy patrol vessel. Thank you to the ships' company for showing us around and letting the cadets helm up and down the river!
The cadets also got the chance to look around the festival, visiting HMS Exploit, the Metropolitan Police's Marine 1, the Lifeboat 52-02 Museum Ship and HRH The Queen's rowing barge, Gloriana! They even got free ice cream from the kind vendors at Sed's Ices!
BZ to Able Cadet Max, Able Cadet Tariq, New Entry Cadet Agnes, New Entry Cadet Brandon, and Junior Cadet Vincent for coming along on the day! We would not have been able to run the stall without you!
