Review Summaries
To give you a glimpse of how our unit was evaluated, here are some highlights from the review summaries:
District Officer’s Summary
"This is a brilliant little unit. It is clear to see that the Commanding Officer (CO) and his team are all over delivering the Sea Cadet experience. The whole unit is designed for a great head start in life. Good facilities all around, though we do miss an indoor main deck. Most importantly, the cadets are gaining qualifications and experiences. The unit chair has been with the unit for some time and has forged a good relationship with the CO, which fits the management team perfectly. Aims are measurable, which is great to see, with a real desire for growth. WELL DONE."
Area Officer’s Summary
"This was the unit's first RNP under the new command structure, demonstrating the positive spirit and high morale of the Ship's Company. The standard of dress for cadets and CFAVs was high; however, the ceremonial routine could be improved with further attention to detail. I recommend the CO observe other RNP ceremonies to attain this. The newly opened jetty is excellent and a testament to the work of the unit chair and her team. Interest activities were good and varied, engaging guests, parents, and cadets. BZ."
