The MACT also saw CFC Gabrielle and OC Emily complete their Meteorology modules as well. CFC Lily and Gabriel did drill all weekend where they re-capped all their drill from New Entry Cadet up to Able Cadet, they also tried the 8 pace auto-wheel for the first time and they also tried a bit of continuity drill.

Gloucester Day Parade 2017

Gloucester Day Parade 2017

On Saturday 2nd September TS Gloucester's Corps of Drums were out in full force to support the Gloucester Day Parade. This parade celebrates the lifting of the siege in 1643. This was due to an engagement in the First English Civil War between the defending Parliamentarian garrison of Gloucester and the besieging army of King Charles I. The siege finally ended with the arrival of Parliamentarian army under the Earl of Essex.

 

The City of Gloucester celebrates this with a parade through the city which contains bands, actors, youth group, members of the council and other civil dignitaries. 

Head over to our Facebook page to see a live video of the band parading past the Dias with PO (SCC) Lloyd saluting the Mayor of Gloucester, Councillor Steve Morgan Gloucester Sea Cadets Facebook Pag

POC Robert had the honour of being asked by the City's Town Crier, Alan Myatt, to carry the standard of the City of Gloucester and lead the parade.

Needless to say he was very happy to do so.
