ARMED FORCES DAY 2013

ARMED FORCES DAY 2013

Armed Forces day on Saturday 29th June 2013 was a roaring success. Middlesbrough Sea Cadets were out in force with many people stopping to ask questions about getting involved. Our Cadets put their best foot forward and got amongst the crowd, handing out stickers and leaflets, telling passers by about what we do and most importantly, telling them about the fun and adventure we have.

Middlesbrough Sea Cadets did a great job as part of the Combined Forces Parade around Centre Square in Middlesbrough, even in the heat of a very warm and sunny day.

ROWING FOR TS ROYALIST

ROWING FOR TS ROYALIST

Northern Area Officer, Captain Peter Adams RN (Rtd) had an unusual start to his morning on Friday 19th April 2013, when he was interviewed by Neil Green, live on BBC Radio Tees about the work of the Sea Cadets and our Rowathon fundraising event (pictured).

Over four days in April 2013, Sea Cadets based here in the North East, took part in a national campaign to row around the world in 80 hours in fact, we smashed the target of 24,900 miles and went on to row 27,300 miles. The purpose of the rowathon was to raise money so we can replace our iconic flagship, TS Royalist. Our training ship has been taking cadets on voyages since 1971 and every year she takes around 1500 cadets to sea - that’s 30,000 so far! A voyage on TS Royalist is open to all 14,000 Sea Cadets.

Whether it’s hoisting the sails in stormy weather or navigating big waves, nothing compares to the feeling of being out at sea, right there in the elements, taking on challenging nautical training and pulling together with other cadets to safely navigate Britain’s coastline. This is teamwork taken to another level.

Thank you to everyone who supported Middlesbrough Sea Cadets to reach our targets.

A HAPPY 157TH BIRTHDAY FOR SEA CADETS!

In June 2013,  Sea Cadets celebrated 157 years of giving young people the best possible head start in life through nautical adventure and fun.  Sea Cadets held  celebrations in 400 units in ports, cities, towns and villages across the UK.

Sea Cadets have had another great year and were honoured to receive HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Volunteering Award 2012 in recognition of the great work that Sea Cadets and our volunteers do. After escorting HM The Queen on her Royal Barge down the Thames in the Diamond Jubilee River Pageant last year, receiving this award was the icing on the cake!

Here's to another 157 years!
