Cadets, their parents and volunteers of E Company gathered together with Colonel Steve Emerson the County Commandant, the Honorary Colonel, Colonel Simon Banks-Coop- er and the Mayor of North Lincolnshire, Councillor Peter Clark to recognise the hard work of all.
The evening was hosted by Capt Vicki Brooks, and the awards were presented by Maj Kirk, Col Emerson and Col Banks-Cooper, with entertainment provided as guests arrived and during the evening by Corps
of Drums of C Company. They even learnt Christmas carols for the occasion.

Major Clare Kirk said: “The company presenta- tion night has been in the planning since taking
over the company back in 2020, giving us a chance
to recognise the hard work and dedication of our cadets and adult volunteers, especially as a lot of our training had to be done online due to Covid. As OC
I am immensely proud of how hard the cadets and adult volunteers of E Coy work and the time they put into things.”
