Thorne Sea Cadets at area boat station thrapston

a week of sailing and power boating cadets had a great time even time to chill and chat thay all gained new skills and new freinds along the way

Cadets at the unit marched through the town at the weekend alongside the Royal British Legion to kick-off the town's 1940's Celebration. The celebrations also saw the marking of the 70th anniversary of VE Day.

Thorne Sea Cadets, based in Union Road, hosted a very special guest last week with the arrival of Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant for South Yorkshire, Mr Andrew Coombe, who joined a number of local dignitaries and VIPs for the unit’s bi-annual inspection.  The inspection night also welcomed parents and families to the unit who were able to see some of the activities the cadets participate in, which included canoeing, rowing, power-boating, seamanship and even making cocktails (non-alcoholic of course)!

The unit kicked-off the boating season in true fashion at its Easter Camp, seeing most of the unit's cadets out in canoes, rowing boats, power boats and even some souls braving the cold waters in the kayaks! With cooked breakfasts each morning to charge up the energy levels, and entertainment and fun activities in the evenings, the whole weekend was enjoyed by all.
