We had many happy times until the girls unit folded a year or two after. (Apologies if I got any names wrong). The only girls I still see are Angela and Sheila.
Does anyone have any more photos from our time together.

Wonderful to see the photos and read about GNTC. First time I’ve seen any photos since the time they were taken. I’m afraid I can’t remember any other names either. Thank you for posting them.
So many memories but I know I’ve forgotten more than I remember. I do remember the carnival though and getting blisters from carrying the canoe. How embarrassing it was that the car wouldn’t start, holding up the procession for agonising minutes. What a hot day it was too.
Best wishes,
Helen Clifford as was.
Betty & John Patrick were my Mum & Dad & it was our car towing Stroppy the boat. I was about 5/6 & in the car. It was so hot inside & the plastic sheeting wrapped round it to make it look like a boat (maybe not one of Dad’s brightest ideas) made the engine overheat. Happy memories though of this & several camping trips with the GNTC & the Sea Cadets. Songs around the camp fires & cows being let into the field by the farmer & getting into the food tent!
Hi Debbie,
Just wondered if your mum and dad had any other photos from our time in GNTC, Brighton Sea cadets.
Are they still around?
Regards Irene.
