The meeting was Chaired by Colonel Peter Christian, Colonel Cadets from HQ 49 (East) Brigade and was also attended by staff from the Brigade’s cadet’s branch. Ms Heather Neep from the Defence Sixth Form College Welbeck gave the meeting a highly informative briefing on the opportunities DSFC Welbeck offers young people.
Simon Worsley, Deputy Chief Executive and Head of Cadets and Youth at East Midlands Reserve Forces and Cadets Association, said: “It is important to bring each of the cadet organisations together when possible to discuss best practise and how they could potentially use each other’s learning to improve and build on the current cadet experience.
“The most recent meeting was held at the Sea Cadet’s unit on Water Side Way in Nottingham and was attended by Commandant’s from the Sea Cadet Corps, Army Cadet Force, Air Training Corps and other senior personnel from 49 (East Brigade).
