Message from John Davies | Lt Col RM | Area Officer  "Thank you and all your team for an excellent visit last night. It was a most enjoyable evening and always a pleasure to come to what is clearly a happy and motivated Unit. I know how hard all the staff work to achieve this and the Cadets were a credit to all involved.

Visits to Units are always too short but in spite of the limited timeframe it is easy to identify those Units that are providing a positive experience for both Cadets and staff alike; Southport is most certainly doing that. The Cadets were clearly enjoying themselves despite the understandable nerves that go with such an evening and I really enjoyed meeting them and the staff as well as see support from family and friends."

Cadets collected for Help the Heroes at our local Supermarket on 12th & 13th May 2012. Help for Heroes Volunteer Local Co-ordinator for Merseyside Judy Hitchcock said

"Just a short message to say thank you so much for all your help at the weekend.This is just to let you know that the ASDA event went really well. Merchandise sold was £269 and bands and donations £695.08, giving a total for the event of £964.08.Thanks so much for helping, it was good to see you again and your help was much appreciated. The Sea Cadets were a credit to you and I will be sending you a formal thank you that you can put up for them to see."
