Neil Cotgreave<br>Cadet Nancy Matthews<br>District Staff<br>Lt Cdr Steve Ditchburn SCC<br>Apologies for absence Nil<br>Item Item Discussion and Actions<br>1 Apologies Apologies were received from the Unit Patron, Admiral Sir Nigel Essenhigh.<br>2 Opening address by the  Good evening Gregor, Si, Management Committee members, Uniformed staff, Ladies and<br>Unit President Gentlemen<br>• Welcome to the Annual General Meeting where the reports will  show what a<br>thriving unit TS Hornet is.   It is my last AGM as I have been elected as Commodore<br>Hornet Services Sailing Club so need to hand over some of my voluntary roles.  However,<br>I am delighted to report that Commander Andy Phenna is taking over.  He has recently<br>retired from being the Head of Offshore Training and Offshore Commander of the Marine<br>Society and Sea Cadets.  Andy cannot be with us tonight as he is at sea in the Jack<br>Petchey as he continues to be a volunteer skipper for the MSSC Fleet.<br>• I have had the privilege of being the TS Hornet President for 15 years and noted in<br>our history that Admiral Sir Geoffrey Layton commissioned TS Hornet in 1954 which<br>incidentally was the same year of my birth.  Rear Admiral Tony Whetstone asked me to<br>take over from him in 2010 and as I retired as a Commander I said ‘Yes Sir’.  I later asked<br>him to be our Patron when Midge Fieldhouse died.<br>• The unit is once again in the top 10% of the 400 units.  Led by Si he wouldn’t make<br>it as professional golfer where a below par performance is considered good.  My abiding<br>memory of TS Hornet will be witnessing young people develop into fine and responsible<br>young adults (well most of them anyway).   There have challenges and niggles here and<br>there but nothing the unified team haven’t overcome.  From my purview TS Hornet has<br>been blessed by individuals who are passionate to keep the Unit as one of the best.<br>When one leaves another of equal passion and dedication comes along.

impressed me.  My sincere thanks to all for your and their outstanding contribution.   You<br>can all feel justifiably proud of yourselves.   Above all the fun element has been retained.<br>3 Minutes from 2024 AGM Accepted as a true record.<br>4 Matters arising from 2024  No action arising from AGM 2024.<br>AGM minutes<br>5 Chairman’s report Good evening, parents & Carers, Ladies & gentlemen, Sea Cadet staff and fellow UMT<br>members,<br>Thank you so much for attending tonight’s AGM and for supporting Gosport Sea Cadets<br>throughout this year. The objectives of this meeting are primarily two-fold. Firstly, for the<br>Commanding Officer and Unit Management Team to provide you with an update on the<br>health status of the unit; secondly, and importantly, for you to hold us to account and pose<br>questions about how the unit is run, what our plans are for the future and crucially, how we<br>aim to develop your young people within the Sea Cadet experience.<br>Like previous years, it is always worth reiterating at the outset why we are all here - for the<br>young people of Gosport; and our aim in this is succinctly described in the Sea Cadet<br>Mission:<br>“Inspiring young people to achieve their potential through challenge and nautical<br>adventure guided by the customs and traditions of today’s Royal Navy.”<br>So, through our offer, we aim to provide the cadets with experience, skills, adventure, and<br>challenges that will provide them with the opportunities to stretch themselves. In doing so,<br>we aspire to support them in their development towards a broad set of nationally<br>recognized qualifications, and, during this process, learn important life skills such as<br>teamwork, communication, determination, leadership, and self-confidence.<br>Lt Si Bush, our Unit Commanding Officer, and lead for the operational output of the unit,<br>will talk more broadly about what the cadets have been engaged in throughout this past<br>year. My report will focus on the enabling functions that support Si and his team, and I will<br>concentrate on the following areas: our people; our equipment & safety; our sustainability<br>and our benefactors.<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>




Our workforce. I continue to be genuinely humbled by the efforts of all the adult volunteers, who step forward and donate their time to the unit and the Cadets; without them we could not function. The team - uniformed staff, adult volunteers and UMT  - continue to be generous with their time to ensure that the unit functions; that the cadets have the right training; that they use appropriate and safe equipment; that bills get paid on time and funds get raised; that the colossal amount of necessary administrative support work is completed timely and accurately; that cadets get to courses; and that they are listened to, supported and developed as people. 

I’d like to thank them all. The staff who do so much and are there for the cadets up to three times a week; the boats team; the engineers for the sterling work that they have done with our fleet and mentoring they have conducted this year; and Chris Roast, our able fund raising lead and my fellow UMT members that you see present here tonight. Lastly, I’d like to thank Mike Shrives for the service that he has given the unit over his time as president. Mike is stepping down this year to take up a key role as Hornet Services Sailing club. Mike, we wish you well and know that you will remain linked with the unit in your role at Hornet. 

Equipment & Safety. We remain a well -equipped unit and have this year invested in the unit as the President has recently outlined. The efforts to continuously improve the facilities and equipment continue, and we are almost at our goal of raising £20,000 towards a RIB and engine, which will keep our fleet’s availability at the levels required to meet the 30 hours of boating we aspire to provide all 65+ cadets. 

In terms of safety, we received an annual Assurance check from District Staff. This check involves a thorough examination of our safety certification, control documentation, and procedures; whilst we await the outcome, I remain confident that the unit is on the right side of the safety line. I’d like to thank Si for his immense efforts in his preparation.  But of course, this is ongoing, and we will continue to work hard to ensure we meet the appropriate safety standards. 

Sustainability. Gosport is a thriving unit, and we are working hard as a collective to keep it that way. Clearly our sustainability is directly related to our people and finances. Over the past year your UMT has looked at the potential to grow the unit. At present, we are 




**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
working at maximum capacity, and any expansion will require significant investment,<br>particularly in adult volunteers. Correspondingly, your UMT is approaching expansion<br>cautiously and will not proceed with any significant change to the current operating model<br>unless we are fully confident that it will be sustainable. In short, we are ‘sticking’ rather<br>than ‘twisting’ as we assess that this is the best course of action for the unti at this time.<br>That said, we are always looking for additional adult volunteers and aspire to recruit into<br>the organization instructors who can assist the unit in broadening the water activities offer<br>for cadets, particularly paddling and sailing to take advantage of our boating fleet..<br>Financially, we are on a firm footing and the treasurer will go through the accounts in detail<br>later in the meeting. Please be aware, that whilst the balance sheet is buoyant, much of<br>this is grant funding received to purchase the new RHIB and engine. Day to day activities<br>are met mainly through cadet subs and the UMT will review subscriptions at the end of the<br>financial year<br>Benefactors. And I must also thank our many kind benefactors, including Gosport Borough<br>Council, and particularly Cllrs Burgess, Meehanghan and Philpott, who have donated to<br>the unit and whose support is hugely appreciated. Other very welcome donations have<br>again been provided by Jacob’s Buses, the Portsmouth Royal Navy Officers Association,<br>The Tom Langton fund via Clarence Lodge, the Connaught Trust; the Ulysees trust and<br>the Gosling foundation.<br>Lastly, I remain intensely proud of our unit and our cadets. Watching them operating at<br>events, engaging with each other, chatting to visiting dignitaries, and explaining what they<br>do to the public over the past year absolutely re-affirms the benefits of Sea Cadets. For<br>me, personally, it certainly makes volunteering worthwhile. Gosport Sea cadets is working;<br>it is working for the cadets; and it is working for the community. We aim to keep it on<br>course, and with your help, I am confident that we can do so.<br>6 Update from Cadet Nancy  Cadet Nancy Matthews provided a very articulate summation of the views of the cadets<br>Matthews attending the unit. Nancy was thanked for her superb contribution and we all celebrated<br>her recent selection to be Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet.<br>7 Commanding Officer’s<br>report<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>
