5 of our youngest Cadets took part in the National 5 A Side Football competition this weekend representing the South West Area. Getting this far is no mean feat and a learning experience for them all to build on next year. A very proud OIC accompanied them and cheered them on to their 5th place overall.

Fantastic job boys, you did us proud.
We are proud to announce that AC Hannah (right) is one of six Sea Cadets that has made the 30-person shortlist for the Duke of Westminster Award, a scheme which gives CVQO learners the opportunity to win a trip to South Africa. The CVQO Duke of Westminster Award is designed to find the best of the CVQO cadets across the UK. When looking through applications the Duke of Westminster Award panel look for 'selfless, determined individuals who always keep their heads up and remain positive through adversity; those who have overcome a personal challenge or gone the distance to help someone.' It's an outstanding achievement to make the shortlist, AC Hannah with her 5 peers will go through to a selection event in Somerset, to determine which cadets will win the trip to South Africa.
Best of luck!
A huge well done to all teams who represented Birmingham Sherbourne and Mercia District in this years 5-A-Side Football Competition.
