INFORMATION ABOUT TS BULLDOG

The unit, which was named after HMS Bulldog, was opened in May 2009, and was the very first unit of the Navy Training Corps.

It is based at the Kingsway Community Centre in Quedgeley, Gloucester. It is the only unit that parades twice a week, and this is only possible due to the dedication of the staff and the support of the committee. The unit receives support and recognition from Quedgeley Parish Council, and this is due to the hard work that the staff and cadets have made within the community. Local events are fully supported by the unit.

The chairman, Tony Smith, has worked hard at raising the funds that are needed to ensure a successful unit, and he has been supported by staff and cadets attending these events. As well as providing the necessary funds for normal training the unit paid for cadets to visit Dunkirk and Ypres in September 2010.

23/01/12 Annual Presentation Evening: To celebrate, recognise and reward cadets for all their hard work in 2011. The Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, Dame Janet Trotter joined us for the evening and was kind enough to present the awards to cadets as well as presenting the Unit with its Standard. Parents attended the evening, which started off with an informative presentation on Evening Colours, and then went onto the formal awards.

Bob Perkins, County Standard Bearer, Gloucestershire and West Midlands Area’s Royal British Legion, officially handed over the Standard to Dame Trotter who then presented it to Able Cadet Lottie Davies. The evening finished with off with everyone enjoying a fantastic cake, an edible replica of the standard, made especially in honour of the presentation of The TS Bulldog Standard by Cathy Hyett.

Dame Trotter made the following main awards in addition to promotions and good conduct awards. Click photo(s) to enlarge view.
