This weekend saw our annual boating regatta go ahead. This is where all of the units in Warwickshire District come to Sutton Coldfield to compete in Rowing and Boat-Handling events

This year, we entered all of the rowing teams, two of the yole teams as well as a rowing boat-handling team! The positions were:

Open Boys Rowing: 1st

Open Girls Rowing: 5th

Junior Boys Rowing: 3rd

Junior Girls Rowing: 2nd

Open Mixed Yole: 3rd

Open Girls Single Yole: 3rd

Rowing Boat Handling: 2nd

This led us to get 2nd place overall at the Regatta!

Well done to all involved and good luck to our Senior Boys at Area in three weeks!

This evening we had our Annual General Meeting. A time when our UMC from the previous year welcomes all instructors, parents and supports to the unit to update them on where the unit is going. This is also a time for anyone new to join the UMC!

This year we saw a good turnout of parents and supporters, with five of them joining the UMC as new members.

We also saw our Chairperson from the past few years, Mr Peter Horrocks; announce that he is not standing for Chairperson again this year. Following this, an almost new UMC has been selected! We would like to welcome:

Chairperson: Mr Nigel Smith
Vice Chairperson: Mr Jason Guiden
Treasurer: Mrs Anat Kanengisser
Health and Safety: Mr Alan Robbinson
Fundraising: Ms Amy Ganley
Secretary: Mr Anthony Taylor

We would like to extend our thanks once more to Mr Peter Horrocks for guiding us through the previous years, and wish luck to our new Unit Management Committee!

Today we saw the rejuvinated Junior Sea Cadet Regatta take place. It has been 3 years since there was last one, as the last one took place in 2015.

As the skies stayed clear, 5 Junior Sea Cadets took to a Trinity to race against other units within the district. With no prep or training, our juniors came back with medals around their necks as they took the bronze!

From the moment they start with us at T.S. Sutton Coldfield, our cadets make us proud at all competitons and events.

BZ Juniors!

Once more, we saw the Warwickshire District Kayaking Competition take place at Sutton Coldfield Sea Cadets.

Entering a full Senior Boys team, half a Senior Girls team and a singular Junior Boy, T.S. Sutton Coldfield took home several medals, a few of which were gold, regardless of the lack of training prior to the competition!

With 3 of our Kayakers legible to go to Area, we show once more that regardless of the competition, Sutton Coldfield pulls through!

This weekend saw 28 of our cadets venture to Portsmouth on a Heritage Weekend!

Whilst there, they stayed upon HMS Bristol, had a tour of Fort Nelson, as well as other Navy Vessels, and much more!

With new knowledge and experiences, they return back to T.S. Sutton Coldfield to pass on what they know!
