September saw an Area Boatwork weekend at Nottingham unit. Staff and cadets from across Eastern Area came together to sail, row and power boat.
The weather was very good, even if the water was a little cold, and everyone had a great time.
Area Boatwork weekend
Training is FUN
September is a busy month as cadets and staff undertake training at the District camps.
DMACT (District multi activity cadet training) 2 saw 9 cadets and 4 staff attending CTC Yardley Chase. The staff were instructing First Aid and Adult Meteorology, and also training in Meteorology and Adventure Training.
Cadets were after qualifications in shooting and seamanship and also doing the Peer Educator course to allow them to progress.
DMACT 3 will see cadets training in power boating, catering, shooting and piping while staff attend to train and instruct.
GO OUTDOORS AND JOIN SEA CADETS
Our local Go Outdoors allowed us to undertake some fundraising, but more importantly gave us an opportunity to meet some people from far and near recently.
First Aid Training Weekend
Great fun was had when the unit ran a Firstaid training weekend at the end of July. Cadets were taught the 2nd Class (ST. Johns YFA) syllabus and had fun bandaging amongst other things. First Aid training is important so, although fun was had, the seriousness was not lost on the cadets when, in their assessment, they were greeted by a bleeding gash to the arm. See gallery for more pictures.
Local Radio Celebs Visit
Sam and Amy from local radio station GEM 106, stopped off at the unit briefly while on their 'staycation'. Waiting to greet them were A/C Granger, A/C Coleman, A/C Harrison, O/C Martin, Cdt. Jones and Cdt. Hardy, along with Chief & Lt. Ade and Mrs. Martin. A roll of toilet paper, apparently a much needed commodity, was supplied to the DJs who, along with sidekick 'Dangerous Dave' and producer Paul, are spending their holiday on the waterways in 4 inflatables with small outboards.
