A little late we came across this photo of our band playing Carols on Poole Quay just before Christmas, and couldn't resist re-posting it.
Thank you to the Custom House Poole - Bistro & Bar - for taking this and to the Old Town Poole Community Group for their organisation for what started as a "chilly" evening but soon warmed up! The mince pies were excellent incidentally!

A very Merry Christmas to all our Cadets, Volunteers and Supporters

It has become a well-established tradition that our award-winning marching band supports Ferndown's Remembrance Parade. Our busy musicians start Remembrance Day in Poole Park, for that town's commemoration, and then move to the nearby Dorset town of Ferndown. Here another impressive parade takes place. As usual they were in fine tune and attracted applause from the spectators as they marched to and from St. Mary's Church.

Sunday saw Poole Sea Cadets as usual playing a major part in Poole's Civic Service of Remembrance and Dedication. The service was led by the Chaplain of the Mayor of Poole, The Reverend Canon Lucy Holt. The park area surrounding the war memorial boasted a huge crowd of onlookers, who were in good voice. Congratulations to all involved in the sensitive handling of such a sombre occasion. The Parade Commander should be congratulated on keeping such an undertaking to exact time.

On a hugely motivational evening Poole's Sea Cadets came together to not only reprise the year but then be presented with prizes.

This was in the presence of our President, Rear Admiral Nick Lambert, RN (Rtd); our Patron, The Mayor of Poole, Cllr Pete Miles, and the Sheriff of Poole, Cllr Mark Howell.

Once again the plans for our proposed future headquarters were revealed before our President and Civic Guests presented the prizes.

It had been revealed by our CO that over the year more than 600 qualifications had been achieved by our cadets which works out at approximately ten each - an outstanding result for both our cadets and volunteers. BZ to all concerned.
