LONDON AREA Find out what’s been happening in your area and share your own stories to see them here next issue Celebrating your achievements Cheshunt cadets coming home Cheshunt Sea Cadets has completed an 11-year journey to return to the Hertfordshire town and use its own building. Now based at Flamstead End Hall, it’s a big change from when they were forced to move into a temporary base 20 minutes’ drive away, which proved to be the spark to find new accommodation back in Cheshunt. Now, Flamstead End Hall is going to create special memories for cadets as well as PO Matthew Tregonning and his team of volunteers.
London Sea Cadets have held their annual National Awards Dinner to celebrate those who received nationally recognised awards in 2019. Guest of honour at the event, held at the Royal College of Defence Studies, was Rear Admiral John Kingwell CBE, a former sea cadet himself. Winners included Orpington, Finchley and three recipients of the British Citizens Award.
London Southern District won the Navy League District Trophy and Tooting & Balham Royal Marines Cadets won the SRMO Trophy for most improved detachment. Among the cadet winners were Cdt Sgt Jake, from Chelmsford, Leading Cadet Beth, from Walton on the Naze, and SLt (SCC) Tony Peers RNR. Huge congratulations to all!
