CONTRACTOR NEEDED FOR SHOWER INSTALLATION
We are looking for a contractor to provide a
quote and complete the installation of the
shower room. There are some funds available for
this. For more information contact
Keith Wall on batchworth.chairman@ntlworld.com or
01923 777340.
VOLUNTEER NEEDED TO REPAIR FIRE ESCAPE DOOR
 The
fire door at the end of the back corridor at HQ
is starting to rot at the bottom. This needs
attention before it gets to the point that the
whole door needs to be replaced. The door should
also have a crash bar rather than be opened with
a key.
If you are able to help please contact
Keith Wall on batchworth.chairman@ntlworld.com or
01923 777340.
 HMS
CUMBERLAND CREW TRAIN TO BOARD VESSELS
Seventeen sailors from drug busting ship HMS
Cumberland,
a Royal Navy type 22 Frigate affiliated with
Batchworth Sea Scouts,
have successfully retrained to carry
out one of the most important Royal Navy roles –
boarding suspect vessels around the world.
Type 22 frigate HMS Cumberland will deploy on
operations later this year. And whether it is to
the North Atlantic, Caribbean or the Middle
East, her crew has received the best possible
training for the job at the Board and Search
School, run by 1 Assault Group Royal Marines, at
naval training establishment HMS Raleigh in
Cornwall.
