The New RN Jetty




Thanks to funding from HQ CCF RN, a new jetty is being built to provide an accessible mooring for the section's Cheverton Champ launch, and also a place to train crews in the art of coming alongside without breaking things.




The jetty has been designed and is being built by Richard Evans, Senior Groundsman, and Austen Dorey, Boatman, and their colleagues, using fine hardwood.

2009

we ended 2008 very busily, moving all our kit out of the old shed into two new ISO shipping containers (to be named Fearless and Intrepid).

This term sees the start of serious navigation training, workup for the Bienniel Inspection on 17th March, and planning for waterborne training once the weather warms up.

Meanwhile we wish CPO Gary Aldridge plenty of snow for the RN Ski Championships.
