On Thursday 27th June Ellesmere Port Sea Cadets attended the local youth group recruiting event at the Ellesmere Port Civic Hall. The event was designed to show the youth of Ellesmere Port all the youth organisations and activities they have to offer. Ellesmere Port Sea Cadets displayed pictures of past, present & future events/activities and played a video presentation. We had lots of interest from the young people who visited the stall and went away with a little goody bag containing information on where and how to find us, who we are and what we stand for, plus lots more. Ellesmere Port Sea Cadets will be attending more community events later this year and we look forward to meeting new people
