Over this past Cadet year, RCSCC Warspite has seen massive growth, not only in its amount of Cadets (more than doubled) but in cadet's skills, teamwork & seamanship too. To acknowledge the achievements of our Cadets, we had an awards dinner a Friday's ago which had food, important people and most importantly, medals and awards for Cadets and officers. This article will cover all of the awards our Cadets got. So be prepared to get your mind blown over the amount of them our Cadets achieved!
What can be an Awards Dinner without food? Our Cadets got to enjoy a warm meal before proceeding with all of the awards. One thing to keep in mind though, is that we had our Annual Ceremonial Review (ACR) the next day so Cadets were told to be conservative with their eating. So they of course did the opposite and were more than liberal, with it. Like they say, good food always makes space into a full stomach!
