Burgee Award
Port Talbot Sea Cadets is celebrating achieving a Burgee Award for 2019-2020.
The Burgee award is the highest award that can be awarded annually to a Sea Cadet Unit in recognition of the hard work of the Cadets, Volunteers and Unit Management Team.
This is a momentous achievement for Port Talbot Sea Cadets in what has been a very challenging year - it is testament to the hard work of all involved at TS Resource.
Three Members of Port Talbot Sea Cadets staff were recognised for their outstanding service and devotion to duty and awarded the Lord-Lieutenant’s Certificate of Merit by Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of West Glamorgan, Mrs Louise Fleet JP.
These were: CPO (SCC) Rhodri Thomas, CPO (SCC) Stephen Summerfield and Mrs Susan Summerfield.
Congratulations from all at Port Talbot Sea Cadets!

Excellent efforts from West Wales District Sailing Team 2017
Three Port Talbot Cadets travelled to Portsmouth to compete in the Area Competition as members of the West Wales District Team.
The results are as follows:
Topper Class 1 - Neath, 2 - Tenby
Pico Class 1 - Fishguard, 7 - Neath
Bosun Class 4 - Port Talbot (Helm Nathan Evans, Crew Brynley Thomas)
Quest Class 1 - Fishguard
PY Class 2 - Swansea, 6 - Port Talbot (Kayla Whatley)
PY = Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme which allows boats of different classes to compete against each other fairly, under RYA regulations and handicaps.
We are proud of them all.
One of our Unit Assistants, Mrs Ring had promised to cut her long hair to make a wig for chemotherapy patients. She decided to use the opportunity to raise funds and share the money raised between the Sue Ryder Hospice which cared for a friend last year and our Sea Cadet Unit.
Donations are always welcome, thanks to those who have already supported us.

CI Mark Evans, one of our Sailing Instructors spent last summer in training. He completed two half marathons to raise funds for an RS Quest.
He was lucky to gain extra sponsorship from Stephen Booth of St James's Trust, pictured here at the Annual Presentation Evening giving the Cadets with a cheque for £2000.
We are glad to announce that the RS quest has now been delivered and will be named in honour of Marks' late father Norman Evans, affectionately known as "Farmer"
