40TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION 2007
Our reunion event took place over the weekend of June 1-3rd, and
was deemed a success by all those who attended. Former
Cadets, Officers, Navy League members, and even some of the
former crewmembers from HMCS LANARK were in attendance.
The weekend started
off with a Meet & Greet on Friday evening. The cadets and
the reunion committee had put together displays highlighting the
present day cadet movement, along with alot of historical
memorabilia associated with the last forty years of cadets in
Lanark county. A special display of HMCS LANARK artifacts
and pictures was also put together for the former crewmembers of
the ship.
Saturday commenced
with the Sea Cadet Annual Inspection in the afternoon (for
pictures of that event click here) and continued into the
evening with a Dinner/Dance held at the Carleton Place Curling
Club. The meal, provided by The Leatherworks Catering, was
thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Prior to the start of the dance,
some former members of RCSCC LANARK, and each of the former
members of HMCS LANARK addressed the crowd. The former
crewmembers presented a donation to the cadet corps on behalf of
Mr. Clifford Aston who was unable to attend the event that
evening. A great night of dancing and reminiscing
followed.
Sunday morning saw
the attendees enjoying a morning brunch, and to finish off the
weekend, a visit to the newly opened National War Museum in
Ottawa.
