Trip to HMS Ark Royal
17th June 2007
A small group of staff and cadets took to the water again to visit the Flag-ship of the Royal Navy during it's visit to London as part of the commemoration of Falklands 25.
We spent a wonderful hour exploring the displays laid on for us by the Royal Navy but most enjoyable was the view from the flight deck and the inside of the Merlin helicopter.
It was also a good chance to meet fellow units too and everyone came back admitting that they had a good time.
Trip to HMS Belfast
12th to 14th January 2007
A sizeable group of the ships company and staff spent the weekend staying over on HMS Belfast moored down near Tower Bridge in London. We enjoyed the local sights on the South Bank, went to the London Boat Show and took trips on the river-boats.
We also forged new friendships with the City of London Sea Cadets unit based on HMS Belfast and look forward to seeing them again soon.
New Year Staff Appointments - January 2007
As Amethyst moves into 2007, a number of new appointments have been made within the staff, so that PO Hicks has become Training Officer and CI Hart has become Boats Officer.
We wish them well with their appointments.
