SOUTHERN Area Sea Cadets will be going canoeing crazy this summer after being awarded a cash boost from the Awards for All Lottery Fund.
The paddling team will now be able to experience a totally different kind of paddle sport by using the £4,411 to buy "open", or Canadian, canoes.
It is hoped that this new opportunity of open canoeing will appeal to a wider range of cadets who find the thought of kayaking a little too adventurous.
Sub-Lieutenant (SCC) Monty Smedley RNR said: "We have a long tradition of kayaking within the Sea Cadets. These new Open Canoes will open up a whole new set of experiences for the young people we work with."
