The examination comprised of looking at the skills of the Cadets, the quality of the Staff, and the state of the Unit together with a presentation given by the Cadets based upon a theme, again chosen by the Cadets, that reflects their skills gained within the Sea Cadet Corps.

The Burgee was presented by Mr Tom Freemantle, Deputy Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire. Also in attendance, were Councillor Sybil Fielding, Chair of Nottinghamshire County Council and Councillor Gwynneth Jones, Chair of Bassetlaw District Council, together with a large number of Unit supporters.
