Today, we were delighted to officially welcome PPO Sibbald to our team of adult volunteers following the celebration of his 18th birthday. This marks an exciting new chapter in his Sea Cadet journey, one that began back in 2018.

Over the years, PPO Sibbald has shown remarkable dedication, working his way up to the prestigious rank of Petty Officer Cadet, the highest rank within the corps. His leadership and commitment to the unit have been exemplary, setting a high standard for his fellow cadets. Although his tenure as Senior Cadet will be hard to follow, we are confident that the next generation of cadet leaders has been well-prepared under his guidance.

We are incredibly proud of everything PPO Sibbald has achieved as a cadet, and we look forward to supporting him as he continues to grow in his new role as a volunteer. His journey is an inspiration, and we are excited to see what the future holds!

As the summer holidays draw to a close, we wanted to treat some of our Junior and Senior Cadets to a fun-filled evening before the new term begins. To celebrate the end of the season, the cadets enjoyed a lively outing of bowling, food, and arcade games.

The event was a great opportunity for our cadets to relax, bond, and enjoy some friendly competition after a busy summer of activities. Whether knocking down pins or trying their luck in the arcades, the cadets made the most of their well-deserved break.

It was a fantastic way to wrap up the summer holidays, and we look forward to diving into the exciting activities and training planned for the months ahead!

The opportunity to sail on the iconic T.S. Royalist is a unique and exciting challenge, and we know Dominic will make the most of every moment. We can’t wait to hear all about his adventures upon his return!

Fair winds and following seas, Dominic—enjoy your journey!
