New Officer in Charge - Acting Sub Lieutenant...

Many Congratulations to Acting Sub Lieutenant Mark Lane for taking over as Commanding Officer of TS Sherbourne on 1st January 2016.

A/SLT Lane joined TS Sherbourne as a Junior Sea Cadet at the tender age of 10 and posted the following on his own Facebook page on 1st January:

"On the 31st October 1996 I joined Sherbourne Sea Cadets at the age of 10. Over the next 19 years at Sherbourne I have achieved many things, have had great experiences and have met fantastic people. Today I take on my biggest challenge and I have become the Officer in Charge of Sherbourne".

Sir, we all wish you the very best of luck and are alongside you, supporting you, all the way.

 

Thank you Chief Rawlinson and Goodbye (for now)

After 5 years of hard work, Chief Petty officer (SCC) David Rawlinson stood down as Commanding Officer of Birmingham Sherbourne on 31st December 2015.  Chief Rawlinson has taken TS Sherbourne from strength to strength, maintaining the 19 years unbroken record of the highest honour of the SCC, a Burgee, for all his 5 years in office.

It has not been easy, Chief Rawlinson has lived and breathed Sea Cadets for all his term and given himself completely for the good of the young people that have come, gone and still remain at TS Sherbourne.  Chief Rawlinson will now have more time to dedicate to himself and his family as well as developing a wider roll within the Mercia District and continuing as an instructor for Canoeing, Seamanship and putting his recently achieved Dinghy Instructors qualification to good use in the existing boats and the new RS Quest too.

Chief Rawlinson will be joining the Royal Fleet Auxillary, staff, UMT and Cadets all wish Chief Rawlinson the very best of luck for the future.

Thank you Chief

 

 

Gold Wings For OC Nash

OC Nash is the first Cadet in the District to achieve Bronze, Silver and Gold Wings for Sea Cadet Aviation.

Congratulations on a job well done Jamie.  

Jamie's full report in his own words of his experience will appear in the next issue of the Newsletter and is hoped it will encourage other cadets to follow suit. 

He did however wish to thank all the sea cadet aviation staff and the instructors from 727 squadron for providing him with such an awesome and helpful experience that has easily helped him decide to pursue flying in the Navy as a career.  

Onwards and upwards as they say Jamie!
