Welcome to Tameside Sea Cadets. I do hope you enjoy browsing through our pages.

The Sea Cadets is a recognised charity supported by the ministry of defence, Royal Navy but run mainly on the funds that we raise ourselves. Our patron is Her Majesty the Queen. Our aim is to make better individuals and citizens of our young people by providing challenging and interesting activities in a controlled and safe environment.

Although we aim to challenge our cadets, the highest priority is given to their safety and welfare by ensuring that all our activities are amply supervised and organised. Our sailing and canoeing activities are organised under the auspice of the RYA (Royal Yachting Association) and the BCU (British Canoe Union). For other activities we seek guidance from the highest controlling body available. You can rest assured that when in our care all cadets are in safe hands.

Here at T.S (Training Ship) Quantock we believe the cadet corps should be about meeting new friends, taking part in outdoor activities (many being water based), learning new skills and being a better more organised person for having taken part. The activities on offer include sailing in Toppers, Bosuns, Team Rowing, outdoor adventure training, Duke of Edinburgh Awards (many of which are water based) 5 A Side football, swimming, BSAC Scuba Diving, communications, marine engineering and many more.

Much of what you will learn with Tameside Sea Cadets will be away from home, we have our own training centres, many of which are situated on Royal Naval bases. These centres have specialist staff to teach even more advanced skills and provide an even bigger range of activities. These extra activities can include things such as Power boating (inshore and offshore) and Windsurfing. As you become familiar with water, you may want to explore the opportunities to go to Sea as the Sea Cadets own a number of Sea going craft, one of them is our own tall ship, the three masted T.S Royalist.

So.... No need to sigh, I have nearly finished, but seriously if any of the above or what you read about the Sea cadets sounds interesting or challenging to you, then why not come along for an informal chat? You will meet existing cadets and staff, make new friends and learn new skills which will be useful in the future what ever you may do.

We are located behind Asda on Lower Wharf St, Ashton Under Lyne and we parade between 7.15pm & 9.15pm on Tuesday and Thursday. So either visit, telephone on 0161 308 4252 or email us at info@tsquantock.com.

If you don't want to come alone then why not bring a friend ?

That's all from me, thank you for taking the time to read this and please enjoy the rest of our site which is updated on a regular basis so put us in your favourites list and come back soon.

Graham
