About Newtownards Unit
Newtownards Sea Cadets has been running successfully in the Newtownards Area for 10 years, and on the 1st May 2007 the unit Celebrated its 10th Anniversary by holding many events to Promote the unit in the Borough of Newtownards.
Our units name is T.S. Bulwark which is named after many wonderful ships, the most recent being H.M.S Bulwark, which is an amphibious class assault ship. To date the unit has never been affiliated with a Royal Navy ship, but we do hope that this will be something we can work towards this year, and make a piece of history for the unit.
T.S.Bulwark has been so successful due to support that we receive from the local community, and we truly appreciate the support they give. Without the help of the community we would not be able to run as well as do.
If you are 18 or over and are interested in becoming a member of staff please contact the site administrator, and we will pass your details on.
