1st March 2013:

Cadets L/C Charlie Cooper, A/C Ryan Newberry, O/C Vaughan Griffiths, Cpl Jack Ormsby, L/Cpl Robyn Andrews, L/Cpl Luke Foreshew and Marine Cadet Courtney Jones and staff PO Shane Griffin, Sgt Stuart Ormsby and our CO, all agreed to spend the night in a cardboard box to help raise funds for our local YMCA!!

Our cadets and staff constructed their boxes into the shape of a ship, we even had a mast flying the NTC and Phoenix Company Logo, a few portholes and an anchor (it’s amazing what you can do with a few felt tip pens and plastic wallets and brown sticky tape!!) Click image to see more photos of the night.

We spent the night getting to know other volunteers and participating in activities such as football, general knowledge quiz, sing a long and getting to know you bingo. We had a fantastic night and managed to stay reasonably comfortable in the given circumstances, the temperature dropping to -1 degrees in the early hours of the morning.

The whole event was filmed and the cadets and staff are being invited back to the YMCA in a few weeks to watch the Film. The cadets made a lasting impression on all the other volunteers, even managing to recruit a few more cadets and potentially a new member of staff. So a big thank you goes out to all the cadets and staff for your efforts and staying power last night…
