The Cadets celebrated our 100 year anniversary in September and marked this huge milestone with a traditional Navy Mess dinner at the Forest Hills Hotel. Many volunteers attended from as far back as 1959 but who still support and attend activities and share memories. We are celebrating our anniversary as part of a national network, working with units in Chester, Ellesmere Port, Widnes and Warrington.
The youth organization follows Navy guidelines although an independent charity who do their own fundraising. Over the years volunteers both uniformed and non uniformed have given their time to the cadets providing first aid training, camping trips, visits to naval ships and running the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme plus other classes designed to give inner confidence, personal self belief and development. We serve the community by selling poppies and parading on remembrance days.
Water based activities from April to October include rowing, paddle boarding and kayaking at our boating station on the River Weaver, near Frodsham swing bridge and power boating in Colwyn Bay. We parade on Monday and Thursday evenings at our HQ at Army Reserve Centre, Crown Gate, Runcorn WA7 2FP and our catchment area includes Frodsham and Helsby.
