TS Iron Duke Annual Awards Night 2025
A Night to Remember!
In June, we held our Annual Awards Evening for our cadets and staff in front of friends and family. It was an incredible turnout, with everyone dressed in their best and ready to celebrate the achievements of the past year.
Awards were proudly presented by our special VIP, Captain McQueen RN, who did a fantastic job throughout the evening. His closing message to all attendees was truly inspirational.
Officer in Charge, Sgt (SCC) Wheeler, shared her thoughts on the evening:
"Wow – what a night!
We would like to thank Captain McQueen RN for accepting our invitation to be our VIP for the evening. He did a brilliant job, and his message at the end of the awards was exceptional.
It was also great to have in attendance our District Officer, Lt Cdr Rust, as well as a representative from the Royal Naval Association – thank you both for joining us.
As my first awards night as OiC, I’d like to personally thank all the staff, cadets, and parents for helping make the evening such a success. It was wonderful to see so many happy faces. With so many awards and badges presented to both cadets and staff, it just goes to show how much hard work has been put in by everyone.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what the next year brings for our unit — and watching our cadets and team continue to grow.
Keep up the great work."
A huge well done to all our award recipients — your dedication, commitment, and enthusiasm continue to make TS Iron Duke proud. Here's to another successful year ahead! ⚓🎉
