On Friday 25th October the Sheffield Sea Cadets, Marine Cadets and their families came together for a fundraising curry night at their base near the Wicker.
On the night there were a selection of curries as well as a raffle, a naval themed quiz and many stalls. Stalls sold a range of items, such as: Christmas gift-wrap, sweets, hand knitted scarves and beauty products from Temple Spa
All the money raised will go towards equipment and running costs of the Sea and Marine Cadets, which is a registered charity. Being a cadet enables you to develop important life skills, confidence and discipline. Sheffield Sea and Marine Cadets (also known as T.S Sheffield) do training twice a week and go on all sorts of outdoor activities. An example of this is their annual camp at Pier Cellars in Devon, where they go boating, do orienteering, drills and practice management skills.
T.S Sheffield are based at Conquest House, Stanley Street (near the Wicker) and take on young people, both boys and girls, in three groups:
Junior Cadets 10-12 years old,
Sea Cadets 12-18 years old and
Royal Marine Cadets 13-18 years old.
