| Army Cadet Adoption | Top |
During 2007 and as a result of an initiative by the Rt. Hon The Lord Mayor, the Company decided to adopt three Royal Artillery Amy Cadet Force units from 9 London Cadet Artillery Regiment. The Units being 93, 96, and 97 Artillery Detachements of the South East London Army Cadet Force. The Units being based at Eltham, Grove Park and Woolwich respectiverly. The units once again provided a splended Honour Guard at the Annual Ladies Banquet on 21 May 2008. The cadets who took part were a credit to their units the South East London Army Cadet Force but most importantly, themselves. They werepersonally commended by The Rt. Hon The Lord Mayor and the Master.
At the Election Court Meeting in October 2008 the Company will be presenting of The Master Wheelwrights Royal Artillery Cadet of the year award. The award is a bronze miniture of The Nery Gun, a illuminated framed copy of the citation and a purse of £100.00. This years award is currently the subject of fierce competition by the cadets and their respective units, and the winner is now being carefully considered by the Officer Commanding. Last years winner was Sgt Rea Warner of 97 Detachment RA based at Woolwich.
It is hoped that in the future the Company will be in a position to provide varied oportunities for the Cadets especially in the area of gaining work experience.
