We're back in our unit building!

After 15 long months of being unable to use our building following the floods in December 2015 we are now back!

Whilst we have been out of the building we've taken the opportunity to improve the facilities (new double glazed windows and Galley facilities) this was only available due to the generosity of other Sea Cadet supporters, grants from HQ and other supporting organisations & companies. 

Whilst there's still a lot of work to do we're all looking forward to the official reopening this Friday 31st MarcNew Galley

 

Repair work has started!!!

At long last work has begun to repair the unit building following the boxing day floods. We hope to make improvements to the building as part of the repair works. Still a long way to go but at least we're on the right track now!
