The Northern Area Photo Competition will open for entries on 8th April 2021 and will close to entries on 2nd May 2021. Entries are to be made by email directly to the ARO at: aron@ms-sc.org

3. Subject For Entries.  

This last 12 months have been somewhat different to what was expected for many and to reflect on this, the subject for the competition is ‘My Lockdown’. This is an opportunity for any photo to be entered that you believe reflects your lockdown experience, with the guideline – how do you want to remember your lockdown?

4. Entry Categories.  

Junior Sea Cadet – Aged 9, 10 or 11 on closing date.

Cadets – Aged 12 to 17 on closing date.

CFAV – Aged 18+ on closing date.

On entry, please ensure you detail which category you are entering and provide some detail on how the photo reflects your lockdown.

All entries will be considered for the Royal Navy Photography Competition, however before being entered the ARO will contact the relevant Units.

5. Trophies.

The category winners (which will be decided on by a panel of members of the Area Senior Management team) will each receive a canvas of their photograph which will be presented to them at the Area Conference in November 2021.

WREATH LAYING AT JOHN TROTTER MEMORIAL 2019

Thankyou to everyone from Hebburn and Sunderland  Sea Cadets who came along to St Mary's Heritage Centre today to participate in the Service to remember John William Trotter who served at Trafalgar on the ship Leviathan our Units namesake. 

I would also like to thank all the cadets, staff, committee and parent helpers ( who provided everyone with the most fantastic buffet) from Gateshead Unit and especially Lt Brian Gray who every year organises the event. 

The weather wasn't wonderful but like always we overcame the challenge.

Thank you all from all at T S Leviathan. CO
