New Shirts to Say Thanks to Tiverton's Air, Sea and Army Cadets

AIR, Sea, and Army Cadets have been donated new shirts and hoodies to

wear at events thanks to the Exe Valley Rotary Club.

The Rotary Club donated shirts to members of the Tiverton

Air Cadets, Sea Cadets and Uffculme Army Cadets to acknowledge their help at

the Rotary Club’s events such as the Sheep Show.

President of the Exe Valley Rotary Club, Colin Constable

said: “We seek the help of the cadets and they always come up trumps, so this

is a fantastic way to say thank you.

“Having been in the army myself, and seeing the great work

the cadets in our area do, it is a real pleasure to be able to make this

donation. They’re always on hand when we need them, and it’s nice to reward them

for all their hard work.”

The cadets help on stalls such as hoopla, welly wanging, and

skittles as well as picking up litter and answering questions from members of

public who may be lost.

Staff Sgt and Uffculme Detachment Commander Dave Carrington said:

“The hoodies will come in use during the winter months when cadets are outdoors

training and it is good for their corporate identity.

“We’re always willing to help at events as it is fun for the

cadets, and we can publicise ourselves as well as giving the youngsters a good

public image.”

The shirts feature a different logo for the air, sea, and

army cadet forces beside that of the Exe Valley Rotary Club. Corporal Harvey

Kelly of the Tiverton Air Cadets said: “The shirts look smart and people will know

that we’re involved with the Rotary Club when we where them.

“We’re always here to help out at all the different shows

and sports that happen in our area.”

Rachel Salamo, Sea Cadet instructor and former cadet added: “We

are very pleased about the donation of these shirts, and wish to thank the

Rotary Club for the generous donation.”
