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.
Hi Nick, Mr Poulton’s name is William but he was known as Wally.
Does anyone know Mr Poultons first name??
