From Father Horton.

Dear Chief and Sergeant,

I wanted to write to pass on some of the comments I’ve received from parishioners and guests including the Deputy Lord Lieutenant and the County Chair RBL . 
Everyone was incredibly impressed, the comments included how; dignified, smart, respectful, well behaved and polite they were. 
I would also add my own compliments to such exemplary Cadets. 

Yours aye
Jim

A big thank you to Hove CO OP in church road for generously giving the unit £6994.23p.  Much needed funds to maintain and grow the unit

Remembrance Parades

Remembrance Parades

2021 Remembrance.

This was especially important to attend as we missed out last year due to the COVID 19 restrictions, however this year we went out smarter and bolder.

We led the Remembrance parade at Brighton in the morning with Able Cadet Carter carrying the Union Flag with Sgt Mitchell for the Mayor Cllr Alan Robins

We paraded at Portslade with MP Peter Kyle, as well as at Hove North and South Cemeteries

In the Afternoon we paraded at the Hove war Memorial and engaged with the church service at All Saints Church in Hove

All cadets were a credit to the Sea Cadets and the fallen we remembered

Our Chairman, Roger Martin and the Commanding Officer CPO(SCC) Duncan Picknell were invited to open the refurbished COOP in Church road Hove.  This is because we are securing a tighter partnership with the COOP and they have seen that as a community we are using the funds passed on by the community to help the Cadets become more employable adults withthe sea cadets core values behind them.

Vicar of Saltdean

Vicar of Saltdean

Today (20th July 2021) at 19:00 our very own Chaplin(SCC) Jim Horton RNR was licensed as Vicar of Saltdean by the Archdeacon of Brighton & Hove. You may think he was already Vicar but he was not, he was Priest in Charge! It’s an odd ecclesiastical distinction but it’s good to be made Vicar.

It was great to have Sea Cadet Corp representation from our Unit.

As Chaplin(SCC) Jim Horton RNR has done a great amount of work for our unit, district and area it was one of our duties and corps values to support him in this recognition.
