BUDE Army Cadets and their parents recently gathered at their Kings Hill HQ for a presentation evening.

The occasion was to witness the dedication of a new Standard and the presentation of efficiency awards. Members of Bude & Stratton Royal British Legion (RBL) and Bude Royal Naval Association (RNA) were also present.

Guest of honour was Mr Chris Heard, who made the presentation; he had donated £500 to the cadets to enable the purchase of the new Standard. Staff sergeant Steve Bates thanked Mr Heard on behalf of the cadets for his most generous gift.
