My final formal engagement as Master was to attend the
official opening of the Maidstone Sea Cadets’ (Training Ship Scott) new
moorings. The Water Conservation Trust has had an affiliation with TS Scott for
many years and pay for a berth each year for a cadet on a sail training ship.
The
Trust has also contributed a substantial sum to the cost of the new mooring. On
a beautiful warm afternoon, accompanied by Trevor Harrington and Roger North
together with our consorts we assembled at the cadets HQ where we were briefed
and then moved to the Amphitheatre were the moorings are situated. The official
cutting of the ribbon was carried out by the Mayor of Maidstone, Cllr Greer.
Following an inspection of the mooring we were treated to afternoon tea and an
opportunity to speak to the Officer Commanding and other guests. A splendid occasion to round off my year as
Master.
