Introduction of Royal Marine Cadets

Thank you to everyone for your support and dedication in making this announcement possible, as it means we can offer something new and exciting for the young people of Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth and surrounding areas to engage with.

It is with much excitement, that we can share with everyone that we are opening a Royal Marine Cadets Detachment.

Royal Marine Cadets is available for young people who are aged between 13 and 18 years and we also have volunteering opportunities if you are young at heart. Cadets will meet at the unit on the same night as our Sea Cadets, which is Mondays and Thursdays, 18.30 to 20.30.

Ross-on-Wye and Monomouth Sea Cadet Unit reintroduced the Unit Awards Night back to the unit, after it has not run for the last few years.

As Commanding Officer (CO), it has been great fun reflecting on what the cadets and unit have achieved in the last year, and writing up the wording to support each award.

''I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who attended our unit awards evening, it was an absolute pleasure to welcome you all aboard and we hope you enjoyed hearing about some of the cadets journeys and experiences over the last 12 months.''

Special thanks for Mr and Mrs Lampert, both ex CO's of the unit, of which Mrs Lampert was the CO who open the unit nearly 21 years ago and Tony from Royal Naval Association-Monmouth Branch for presenting the awards.
