We were founded over 50 years ago in 1953,originally as TS LION,after Admiral Holland's flagship HMS Lion as Admiral Holland's family owned a large area of farmland around Banbury and were known as benefactors to the people of Banbury.
In the mid-1970's the UMC decided that a change of name would help promote the unit locally as interest had dwindled and thought that not only was HARVESTER in keeping with the rural nature of the area but back in the dark days of WW11, the town had during Warship week adopted the H Class Destroyer HMS Harvester.
Over the last 55 years the unit has had a few home's in and around Banbury but home is now a purpose built cadet hall which we share with the local ACF.
We have excellent facilities including use of the on site TA Range and once our new staff have qualified we will offer a regular programme of small bore shooting not only to our own cadets but other units in our district.
