The Royal Marines Cadet Detachment were deployed to Beckingham Training Camp this weekend, Friday 4th October - Sunday 6th October 2013 for the Company Annual Training & Safety Efficiency Appraisal also known as CATSEA.

CATSEA was established to assess the efficiency of all Detachments on a National basis, using a common standard and  to enable the SRMO, to have a direct input to training needs based on assessment as well as raise standards and provide all RMCD with clear targets to aim for.

The hard work and training has now paid off for Worksop RMCD achieving a 'Good' score of 77. Out of all 26 Detachments in X-Ray Company we have finished in 5th position. BZ to all Cadets and Staff, keep up the good work!
