2024 was another fantastic year for TS Salisbury, we were busy! Along with our usual programme of training, sailing, rowing, camp, and field exercises, last year the ships company were also active in the community, supporting local and national events.
We took part in commemorations for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day in June as well as activities marking 200 years of the RNLI. Cadets were involved in the launch of the Salisbury Poppy Appeal in October, and we were on parade in the City for Remembrance Sunday in November with 80 Juniors, Sea Cadets, and Royal Marines Cadets taking part this year.
In December, we celebrated the combined achievements of the unit during our annual presentation evening. We were joined by Southern Area Officer Commander (SCC) Gary Bassett RNR and Wessex District Officer Lieutenant Commander (SCC) Lisa Grinter RNR, who presented qualifications, promotions, and awards in recognition of the hard work that the cadets and staff put in during the year.
As we begin the New Year, I’d like to take the opportunity to thank all the members of TS Salisbury, cadets, staff, and the Unit Management Team for making 2024 such a memorable year. As well as the parents of our Juniors, Sea Cadets, and Royal Marines Cadets for their ongoing support of the unit.
Yours aye,
S/Lt (SCC) J Bond RNR
Officer in Charge
Salisbury Sea Cadets
