Sea Cadet Fest at Lakeside
The first weekend in September saw the Sea Cadet Corps take over the Lakeside Shopping Centre, Essex. The aim of the weekend was to publicise the Sea Cadet Corps in all it's glory, showing the general public how staff and cadets can have "Serious Fun".
Activities over the two days included both sea cadets and marine cadets, featuring armed drill, first aid, marine engineering, campcaft, cooks/steward, a hornpipe display and SCC band to name but a few. Some lucky cadets were able to spend their time "messing about on the water" with a display on the boating lake.
Bravo Zulu to all those who took part.
