National Drill – 7 May

Congratulations to Poole Unit’s Armed Guard who became national winners at HMS Raleigh. A thoroughly deserved win after all the hours of practice and uniform preparation.

Well done also to the cadets from Poole Unit who were part of the unarmed drill squad with Southampton Unit. A very credible 3rd place.

Medals all round. A thank you to CPO (SCC) West and his team for all the training and organisation?
