On Thursday the 20th of June we were host to South West Area Officer, Commander Mills RN for our biannual Royal Naval Parade. 

As well as parents, guardians and local dignitaries, Commander Mills experienced a showcase of what Malvern Sea Cadets is all about, with a formal inspection at the start of the night, followed by a range of hands on activities and finishing the night with our annual awards. 
The atmosphere on the night was electric and feedback from the Area Officer was very positive, so fingers crossed for a good score for our Unit Review. 

Over Remembrance weekend our cadets were out in force to support the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal, selling poppies in Barnards Green and the new Aldi in Malvern. 

On the Sunday, we were immensely proud of the turn out of all of our cadets who braved the elements for a damp and early start for the Remembrance service at Malvern Priory, following which we formed up for the parade to the war memorial outside Malvern Library.

Well done all.

Able Cadet Henry and four of our Juniors helped represent Severn District at the South West Area Swimming Competition at HMS Raleigh. 
Every cadet from the district came away with at least one medal, and overall we helped the District come second overall in the competition. 
Massive acheivements for our seasoned swimming champion but also our juniors, for whom, this was their first area competition and first time visiting a Naval Base.

October 21st marks the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, and each year 100's of Sea Cadets from across the country come together to mark this occasion with pomp and ceremony on Trafalgar Square in London. 
This year our First Lieutenant represented South West Area as Second Officer of the Guard, marching with sword drawn with a guard of 48 cadets. The combined guard from Southern and South West Area's were increadibly well turned out, and the photos from the event look great. 
Well done Sir. 
 

At our October Divisions, amongst the presentations were some special awards for our longest serving junior.

Lukas was promoted to Leading Junior Sea Cadet, which marks the completion of all the module sections in the junior sea cadet syllabus with the addition of two further qualifications.

Lukas is Malvern unit’s first Leading Junior Cadet since 2015, since which time another rank within the junior syllabus has been introduced, making this achievement all the more special.

In addition, Lukas was presented with the Commodore’s Board Pennant badge. This is awarded to junior cadets that have completed all four module sections, with a further 8 modules completed on top of the 15 needed for each badge.

Again, the last of these in the unit was 8 years ago.

Well Done Lukas
