May 2002 - the cadets played host to a group of 12 young people from Belarus and during their stay these young people took part in an evening of drills with the cadets.

August 2002 - The week-long National Fire Cadet Camp 2002 was held at Bromsgrove, near Birmingham during which time the cadets participated in a number of activities with other cadet units from around the country, enabling them to acquire a range of valuable new skills and mix with young people from other units.

Activities included watersports, archery, orienteering, bridge building, rock-climbing, abseiling, swimming and volleyball. This year's camp is being organised by West Sussex Fire Brigade and will be held in Dorset.

Many more activities are planned for 2003/4
