The brainchild of Edwin Buckley back in 2023, this annual Cadet Winter training event has grown from a collaborative training event between Fishers Green and Corinthian Otters to a regional event that saw Cadet Youth Squadrons from Fishers Green SC; Corinthian Otters; Stone SC; Welsh Harp; Waldringfield SC; Frensham SC; and Rickmansworth SC in attendance.
Our third event on Saturday 15th March dawned with a promising forecast of 12 knots gusting 24 knots, just enough to put some serious pace into our youth boats particularly around the gybe mark! Building on all the knowledge and skills youth had gleaned from the previous weekend the focus of our final week of training was very much preparing youth for taking part in events with Paul and guest coach Matt White(Waldringfield SC) confidently supported by Youth coaches Rhona Enkel (Waldringfield SC) and Jess Cooper (FGSC).
Well done to all the youth who participated and worked hard to achieve their goals this year and thank you to all the volunteers including those FGSC members who provided safety cover on RIBS and help in the galley.
Special thanks must also go to:
Kevin O'Brien, Fishers Green SC Commodore and also ex-cadet Squadron leader, who gave generously of both his time and energy each Saturday to run the gallery;
Our Fishers Green SC fundraising team who sponsored spot prizes each week;
The Old Salt Loft / Stitch Print for generously sponsoring our official event prizes
The UKNCCA for funding our guests coaches at each event and providing administration support
