Here are a couple of pictures from the annual inspection of Abingdon’s very own Sea Cadet’s by the regional Officer – seen here comparing his own boot-shine with that of an Abingdon Sea Cadet.

Also present were… The High Sheriff of Oxfordshire, The chair of VWHDC, Mayor of Abingdon, representatives of the other local Cadet forces, The Thames Valley Police, A Fitzharries school teacher (‘school teachers of cadets are always welcome’)… + Friends and family.

The cadets performed a Ceremonial Guard and were presented with certificates and badges earned during the year.

Thanks to Sue for the pictures. (‘The Sea Cadets are a voluntary uniformed youth organisation, open to all young people aged 12 to 18 which provides fun, friendship, adventure, and learning on water and on land.’)
