## **15[th] October 2025**
## **Chairman’s Report**
This evening marks my fourth Annual General Meeting since being elected as Chairman of Filey Sea Cadets, and it continues to be both an honour and a privilege to serve in this capacity. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the Unit Management Team for their ongoing dedication and contribution to the effective running of the unit. Each member brings a wealth of experience and perspective, and your considered input is highly valued, particularly on those occasions when opinions differ. Please be assured that your efforts and commitment are both recognised and greatly appreciated by myself and by our volunteers.
I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer, together with their staff, for their dedication to the day-to-day running of the unit. I am particularly proud of the excellent feedback received once again from both parents and cadets following this year’s highly successful Summer Camp.
One of the primary responsibilities of the Unit Management Team is the effective financial management of the unit. Adequate funding is essential not only to meet our ongoing operational costs but also to purchase and maintain the equipment necessary to provide our young people with the highest possible cadet experience. In order to ensure that all cadets have equal opportunities to participate in courses and activities, the unit frequently subsidises these events either in full or in part. As with any charity, there are numerous projects we would wish to pursue; however, it remains the duty of the UMT to ensure that all funds are managed prudently and utilised to deliver the greatest possible benefit to the unit and its cadets.
The unit’s current financial position remains strong. At the October meeting of the Unit Management Team, the Treasurer reported a balance of £63,000 — an increase from the £54,000 reported at the previous AGM, and significantly above the £10,000 savings buffer agreed to ensure our ongoing financial security. This figure includes £42,000 ringfenced as seed funding for the proposed new building project.
I am pleased to report that the annual accounts for the year ending 2025 have been finalised, audited, and formally approved by the Unit Management Team. We are therefore in a position to adopt the accounts at this AGM. I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to our Treasurer, Mr Andrew Garside, for his continued hard work and meticulous bookkeeping. His diligence and reliability in managing our finances provide great reassurance and make my role considerably easier.
The year 2025 has been another outstanding one for Filey Sea Cadets in terms of our grassroots fundraising efforts. I am sure our Vice Chair and Parents & Supporters Association Chair, Mrs Louise Douglas, will provide further detail on the many highly successful fundraising events undertaken throughout the year.
I am also delighted to report that we have been exceptionally fortunate this year to receive a generous donation from a benefactor totalling approximately £46,000, including Gift Aid. These funds have been utilised to significantly enhance our training resources and equipment. Notably, they enabled the purchase of a second minibus and two additional powerboats, bringing our fleet to a total of five. Further acquisitions include a man overboard training manikin, a spinnaker and bow conversion kit, six Little Anne QCPR training manikins, two choking vests, ten Amazon Fire tablets, a selection of games, and a maintenance kit for our mountain bikes.
I am pleased to report that, thanks to the continued dedication and hard work of our instructional volunteers, we have seen a modest increase in cadet numbers. The unit now has a total of 63 enrolled cadets across the Senior Section, Junior Section, and Royal Marines Cadets Detachment.
In February of next year, our current Commanding Officer, SLt (SCC) Ken Lomas RNR, will conclude ten years of distinguished service in this role and will step down. Earlier this year, we conducted a fair and transparent selection process to appoint a new Commanding Officer, and I am pleased to announce that SLt (SCC) David Frampton RNR was successful and will assume the role from February. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Ken for his outstanding leadership and dedication over the past ten years.
Last year, we launched our new Royal Marines Cadets Detachment to offer an alternative experience for young people who may prefer a programme different from the standard Sea Cadets activities. While we have seen initial success in recruiting new volunteers, there remains considerable work to be done, and challenges to address, before the detachment can conclude its trial phase. We are actively recruiting additional volunteers and cadets and would warmly welcome any interest from those present today.
This year, we have embarked on a new venture with the establishment of an RYA Training Centre for Power Boating. Work is ongoing to ensure the unit meets all the necessary requirements to be granted training centre status. Once approved, I am pleased to announce that SLt (SCC) Ken Lomas RNR will take the lead as the Training Centre’s Principal.
Regarding our capital project, the ambition of the Unit Management Team remains to replace the current ageing building with a modern facility purpose-built to support Sea Cadets activities. The project has been on hold since our initial planning application was rejected, primarily due to the prioritisation of other initiatives I have already mentioned. I am hopeful that the new building project can be revisited and advanced in 2026.
Finally, I firmly believe that with the strong leadership and management team we have in place, and with the continued support and dedication of all our volunteers, Filey Sea Cadets will continue to thrive and provide outstanding opportunities for the young people of Filey.

## **Parents & Supporter’s Association Chairperson’s Report**
I am pleased to report that the membership of the Parents and Supporters Association remains as strong as ever. My thanks go to Diana Shaw, Tricia Garside, Andrew Garside, Carolyn Cammish, Sarah Frampton, Sharon Thompson, Helen Hunter and Jo Barber for their continuing support and enthusiasm over the past year.
Unit Management Team and Laura Brant who on a regular basis assists us with our fund-raising
Since our last AGM we have been involved in a number of fund-raising activities for example.
On the 29[th] November 2024 we held a very successful Christmas Fair, and we were entertained by the children from the Ta D’ance school of Dance and the Filey Fishermen’s choir. Both of whom helped to make the day extra special. This event raised £1,093.37.
On the 22[nd] March this year we took a chocolate Tombola to the family day at the Plough in Lebberston which raised a fantastic £419.00.
On the 10[th] April we held a Tombola at the Emergency Services day in the Evron centre and raised £175.50.
On the 2[nd] May we hosted a charity Fashion show for Shoebootique of Filey. This was the first time that we had stepped into the world of fashion and a total of £900.00 was kindly donated to the Unit form Karen Clarke the owner of Shoebootique.
On the 9[th] May we hosted the Launch of the Filey Literature festival. This was the second time that they have used the unit as a venue and for the privilege we received a donation of £250.00.
On the 12[th] and 13[th] of July we attended the Craft fair in Crescent gardens with a Children’s tombola and raised a total of £465.00.
On the 23[rd] August we held a Summer Fair at the Unit. We were given demonstrations by some of the children who attend Filey Applied Martial Arts and also the children and adults who attend the Garage Dance Studio. Both the afore mentioned organisations use Filey Sea Cadets as a training base and therefore we thought it might be a nice idea to include them in our Summer event which raised £635.00.
On the 29[th] August we once again hosted another fashion show for shoebootique who have now decided that they would like to use the Unit as their regular venue. On this occasion the proceeds were given to the RNLI another worthy charity, however a donation of £100 was made to the unit.
On the 20[th] September for the fourth year running we hosted the 1779 society’s annual dinner.
Included in the guests were representatives from the American Navy and British Royal Navy so it is an opportunity for the unit to showcase itself. Seven of the older cadets expertly served the Guests their meals and did the unit proud. The profit from this event was £950.00.
Finally, our secretary Diana Shaw has continued to sell second-hand books in her shop on behalf of the Unit. This year has been an exceptional year, and she has so far raised an amazing £1,285.00.
So, our continuing thanks go to Diana.
I am pleased to be able to report that the overall total from the afore mentioned events comes to £6272.87.
Our next big fundraising event is our Christmas fair and Grand Prize draw which is being held on Sunday 30[th] November, 12 midday until 4pm.
Once again, we will be entertained by the children from the Ta D’ance school of dance.
amazing prizes so, we look forward to seeing you there.

## **15[h] October 2025**
## **Commanding Officer’s Report**
Following a growth in unit numbers for 2023/24, we have maintained that level through 2025.
Indeed, following last year’s Annual Inspection, not only were we awarded a BURGEE for being a high performing unit, but we were also awarded a GOLD one to show we had grown the unit significantly.
Our engagement within the community is high and due to favourable weather, we were able to start boating earlier then the last few years.
I raise these points as this was noticed within the community which lead to us receiving a donation to enable us to get more cadets on the water and to provide further experiences for them.
From this we were able to purchase desk top ovens and first aid equipment including blue tooth enabled Resusci Anne CPR dolls, which you will see at next week’s Annual inspection evening.
We were also able to purchase a second minibus, two more power boats and a Man overboard Dummy along with other boating equipment.
These have already had an impact on us as a unit, and as an example, this year’s unit boating week we had our highest number of boating hours and qualifications gained in that week.
Our Junior Section is thriving, and we continue to see them transferring into the Senior Section.
The Royal Marines Cadets Detachment is still forming and with renewed support from the Growth Development Team, we hope to see it established over the coming 12 months.
In summary we are a strong unit, able to offer multiple experiences to the young people of Filey and surrounding areas.
