We are delighted to announce that POC Andrew will be representing the Sea Cadets as a Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet.

Each year the Lord-Lieutenant appoints senior cadets as Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets – usually one each from the Army Cadet Force, the Sea Cadet Corps and the Air Training Corps and one from the Combined Cadet Force. These cadets support the Lord-Lieutenant - who is the Queen’s representative in the County - in their work during their year of office, accompanying him to royal visits, awards ceremonies, and similar official events.

POC Andrew will therefore attend many events with Berkshire’s Lord Lieutenant - Mr James Puxley.

An excerpt from his citation read:

“Andrew possesses the ultimate ‘Can Do’ attitude and when aligned with his positivity, sociability and strong team spirit, the Sea Cadets are able to utilise these skills in developing other young people too. Given his commitment, confidence, communication skills, turnout and bearing, Petty Officer Cadet Andrew would make an excellent ambassador for the Sea Cadets, as Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet for the County of Berkshire.”

POC Andrew will take up his position at the Berkshire Investiture in October.

VERY WELL DONE!

PO’s Burchett, Hearn and Myles plus AC Harvey have spent the weekend getting qualified as Paddlesport Instructors.

Putting this into perspective, we can now get an additional 32 cadets out on the water in Paddlesport.

This is an amazing achievement for all involved and our thanks go to all who have had a hand in their development.
