| The Junior Division of T.S. Ardent, Bollington & Macclesfield
Sea Cadets, recently visited the Bollington Discovery
Centre as part of their ‘Community and Citizenship’
studies. They were very kindly hosted by Tim Boddington, who took
them through the displays at the centre and explained the
rich heritage of Bollington. Cadets then spent some time tracing their family names and
looking for pictures of their ancestors in the village in
the huge collection of historic pictures. Some extremely
interesting cases were found and cadets went home with a
much greater understanding of the history and life of the
village and their family’s place in that story. Junior cadets range in age from ten to twelve years, both
boys and girls. They meet at St. John’s CE Primary School
on Grimshaw Lane, on Monday evenings between 19:15 and 21:30. If you’re interested in joining the Sea Cadets, contact
either Lt. (SCC) David Thickett RNR (Commanding Officer)
on 01625 576336 (Unit phone) or 07986 163039 (Mobile) or
by e-mail on tsardentco@btconnect.com,
or Petty Officer Valerie Thickett (Officer in Charge, Junior
Division) using the same contacts.
Thanks to Petty Officer Valerie Thickett for the pictures. |
