SEA CADET PULLING TEAM

Circa 1960's

By P Baitup

From Left to Right. Marcus Stroud, Me, Andy Greenfield, Mr Poulton, Ray Webb. Peter Stride kneeling. I think we had just come back from a pulling competition.

For those not familar with naval terminology, 'pulling' is rowing! Newhaven Sea Cadets had a variety of small boats for the lads to use, including a 'whaler' and several 'ASC' boats. (Auxiliary Sailing Craft, I think, as they could also be rigged with mast and sails.) There was at one time also a motor pinnace - a welcome sight if you'd been out pulling around Seaford Bay for an hour or so and it came out to tow all the little boats back in! Remember it well. - Andy, Editor

Hi Nick, Sorry Tommy but that is John Poulton, Wally's younger brother. He took over from Wally in our highly successful team.
