Rugby Sea Cadets

Cadets, Staff, Committee Members and Parents raised £595.35 in donations at the bag pack at Tesco today.  Well done to all that took part. It was a fun day and every egg made it through the checkout unbroken this time round!  We would like to thank everybody that donated for their kind contribution.

Sunday 27th July 2008 will be an important day for all at Rugby Sea Cadets.  The Cadets, Staff and Unit Management Committee will be at the local Tesco store on Leicester Road, Rugby to help shoppers with their bag packing in an attempt to raise funds for the unit.  The unit raised a massive £1700 during the last bag pack in December 2007.  Lets hope that this time round proves just as successful.

Tomorrow, seven cadets from Rugby Sea Cadet Unit will travel down to Bristol to represent Warwickshire District in the South West Area Combined Regatta 2008.  Having successfully beaten five others teams at the Warwickshire District Combined Regatta the Sail Boat Handling Team will compete against teams from Avon, Mercia, West Wales, Cornwall, Devon, South Wales, Severn and Somerset & Dorset.  The team comprising of Petty Officer Cadet Alice Spiby (Team Captain), Leading Cadet Amy Suddens, Ordinary Cadets Danielle Parker, Matthew Moseley and Henry Spiby have been training hard for the competition and everyone wishes them luck!

Warwickshire District will also be represented by another two Rugby Cadets. Cadet Sarah Parsons and Marine Cadet 2nd Class Jakk Cope in the Yole, a two person sculling boat.  Having originally finished 3rd in the Warwickshire District Regatta, Sarah and Jakk were asked to represent the District and compete against cadets from all over the South West of England, including Wales.
