Oxford Sea Cadets will support the Two Fat

Submariner events in 2010/11.

The Oxford Sea Cadet Unit has pledged to provide logistic and

catering support for the Two Fat Submariners charity year as well as

participating in some events. The Sea Cadets will participate in the

cycle ride by assisting with route planning and also join the Fat

Submariners on their cycle as well as be part of the boat support team

for the Channel Swim.

Barry Bishop one of the Two Fat Submariners and also the chairman of

Oxford Sea Cadets said “The Sea Cadets is a fabulous organisation and

I am particularly proud of our Oxford Unit. The cadets approached me as

soon as they became aware of what I was doing with the Two Fat Submariners to offer me support. Steve and I were both Sea Cadets prior to joining the Royal Navy and it was Steve’s suggestion to involve them more in the actual organising of the events as well as participation. I know that they will provide us wonderful support on the cycle ride and I hope that they will be able to participate as well.”

S/LT Tony Ingham of TS Euryalus  said, “It’s great to see our Chairman embarking on these challenges and we are very happy to be supporting the Two Fat Submariners during their year of giving. They will need all the support they can once they start cycling and we will be at each campsite waiting for them as well as participating on the cycle. I hope that our support will aid them to achieving more revenue for their charities.”

Oxford Sea Cadets parade every Tuesday and Friday at Donnington Bridge and is for Girls and Boys aged 10 to 18. Once a full member of the unit the children can participate in all kinds of events such as sailing, canoeing, power boating, adventure training, shooting, rowing, swimming, football and other events.  More details can be found at www.oxfordseacadets.org.uk
