Boating Fun Days
All cadets and officers are invited to our Boating Fun Days (see our bookings page ). Activities on offer will include: power boating, sailing, kayaking, and pulling. The day will be from 1000 to 1600, and is £6 per cadet. BBQ and tuck shop will be available. Attending cadets will need 2 spare changes of clothes (to get wet). Please contact us with a rough idea on how many your unit would like to bring.
We are now open for 2010 bookings!
We are pleased to offer a range of booking dates available to units and regions. We are also running two national boating fun days, and two powerboat taster courses. To find out more about our bookings and availability, click here .
Successful Fun Day
A boating fun day was recently held
at the National Boating and Activities Centre Attentive. The day went
well, and was well attended by cadets from accross the corps. 73 cadets in
total enjoyed the activities on offer. The organisers would like to thank
all officers and senior cadets who helped make the day the success it was.
If you attended the day, and have any comments or suggestions, please
contact Ch/O Paul
Pomfrey.
Just a reminder, that Attentive will be hosting a
Powerboat Awareness day on Sunday 20th May. Places are limited, and on a
first come, first served basis. Contact NBAC Attentive for further
details. Thanks to 1/0 Paul Pomfrey for the report.
Fun Day, Sunday 1 October
Our field correspondent
reports:
The weather was very poor, so the cadets could really
only do power boating. Canoeing took place, but only the more
experienced canoeists were allowed on the water. Sailing did not
happen as the weather was too rough.
54 cadets took part, plus officers and parents.
TS Valiant was the only ship to take part in the Raft Race. On its
first time on the water, the crew of 4 sank and got very wet; the raft
then had a crew of one or two, and all the cadets had a great time thanks
to 2/O Keith Larsson. A big thanks to the staff from Attentive and
Lion, and parent helpers, for a great day's
boating.
