On Sunday 25th February 2018 the Colour Party and junior cadet drill teams made the trip to Farnham Sea Cadet unit to compete in the annual district drill competition. Although the competition this year was tough the colour party managed to secure 4th place out of a total of 9 units in the districts whilst the junior drill team were able to secure first place in their competition as well as being able to gain the best junior squad commander award.

The colour party team consisted of A/C Cawsey as 1IC, A/C Gunner-Smith as guard 1, O/C Boast as guard 2, CFC Davey as standard bearer and CDT Cox as 2IC.

The Junior drill team consisted of junior cadets Cawthorne, Mckay, Cheung, Readon, Lopez and Murphy with CDT Hardy being squad commander.

Team manager of the colour party PO (SCC) J Rickwood said 'I'm very proud of how well all the cadets have performed and the dedication they have put into the competition. My thanks also go to all the staff, parents and supporters of the unit, without you none of this would happen.'

Junior squad team manager APO (SCC) Seal said 'I am extremely proud of how my team was able to perform on the day and overcome all obstacles leading up to the event'.

Robin Hood Pantomime at Woking Theatre

This past year for the Junior Sea Cadets end of year celebration we were lucky enough to be able to take them all to the pantomime of Robin Hood at the Woking theatre. We were able to get excellent seats as well as ice creams and souvenirs offered to the kids. The staff felt that this was a nice way for them to end the year and something that they will remember throughout their sea cadet experience. It is a chance for the younger cadets, much like the older cadets, to let their hair down and have a good socialise outside of the cadet environment where they are able to build their relationships that will last for their entire sea cadet career.

In December of 2017 we held our annual cadet formal Christmas dinner which gives all of the cadets the chance to dress in their best whilst enjoying a home cooked 3 course meal whilst being able to socialise with all the cadets from the unit who they may not see on a usual cadet training night.

After the cadets had completed their meal and the toasts to staff and the Sea Cadet Corps had been made they were able to make their way downstairs to a gaming bus organised by the commanding officer where they got the chance to further spend time socialising with one another outside of the normal cadet environment.

Each year for this event the activities are switched up to encourage people to attend and have a good night with their friends.

Thanks go to all the staff and UMT that helped make the night a success.
