A massive thank you to all the cadets who entered and all the adults who helped train, transport and support the cadets - including a very supportive parental contingent.
This is what it is all about - working together to give these young people a real head start in life through nautical adventure and fun.
Following a large entry to the Regatta it is Very pleasing to have a unit full of cadets who are highly skilled across the board, which reflects the units adaptability and consistency in multiple disciplines.
Thank you and well done.
The unit has an immensely proud Commanding Officer.

DUCK DERBY 2017
The Duck Derby and Family Fun Day is an annual event that has been organised by the Lions Club of Maidenhead for many years. This year the event will took place on Sunday 21st May, as ever on Ray Mill Island (a little known oasis reached by a small bridge adjacent to the Boulters Lock Hotel).
The event features Fun Fair attractions, Punch & Judy, Stalls galore with games of skill and chance and things to buy, Children’s Duck Hunt with prizes for various age groups, Tombolas and Food & Ice Cream.
The event finishes at 4.30pm with a Duck Race of 3,400 plastic ducks on the River Thames as a novel way to draw a raffle with 3 substantial cash prizes. Entrance to the venue is free.
Maidenhead Sea Cadets release the ducks and then collect them in what is usually a fun, action packed day on the water, allowing for vital training and recruitment opportunities.
This year we were out in Kayaks, Rowing Boats and Power Boats in what was one of quickest sweep ups ever!
The PSA ran a hook a duck competition and the Fire and Rescue boat made an appearance giving our volunteers and cadets a bit more of added excitement!
