I can honestly say this has been the most enjoyable job I have had when I leave I will have very fond memories of a great organisation!

As I head towards the end of my time as CSC I have just over 1200 followers that's more than 3 per unit I think that's not too bad

New Captain joins in just over a week from now give him a good welcome when he joins

What an amazing few days excellent visits to Campbeltown & Hartlepool as well as an inspiring fundraising effort in northern area on fri eve

Great National Drill & Piping Competition today at Raleigh well done to all the winners & of course the volunteers who make it happen.

Well done to all rowers we still need more units to get onboard to row around the world is 24900 miles so the more rowers the better!

Just returning from a very productive conference in northern ireland weather not great but definitely worth the effort
