TS Adventure Sea Cadets celebrate 80th birthday - hoorah!

Bristol’s Lord-Lieutenant Mrs Peaches Golding OBE attended the open day at TS Adventure, the Sea Cadets home in the Cumberland Basin where Sea Cadets celebrated their 80th birthday.  Mrs Golding was shown around the ship by two Sea Cadets, where she took part in tying knots, learned how to pack a bergen, observed how the Sea Cadets learn to plot a course at sea and so much more.  ‘A quick trip on the water demonstrated that the Sea Cadets are putting into practice all the skills they are learning in safely operating power, sailing and rowing boats,’ Mrs Golding explained.  A demonstration by the Sea Cadets of a physical exercise routine performed to music was a highlight of her visit.  After tucking into a tasty barbecue, Mrs Golding cut the birthday cake which was baked and decorated by one of the Sea Cadets.  Hoorah!
