I can thoroughly recommend the team. We liaised with them on a visit in Feb whilst we were doing a home town visit. The feedback from the audience, Lord Mayor, Careers advisors, RNA, Affiliates, potential recruits and Sea Cadets, was very favourable. They even sort out the catering for you.

The RN presentation team sort of drifts around the country running up expenses generally in a vague attempt to recruit though they will always deny this! The fact the RN is such a yesteryear career underfunded overstretched with serious morale problems meaning it can't retain personnel kinda makes you wonder ??? Money wasted, in other words if you have some potential use it but don't waste it todays Navy because as a careeer its finished!
UPDATED
Once we took a 35 tonne oudated trailer overseas to Belfast stayed in a 4* hotel for basically 20 seacadets to have a look round for 20 mins! We were supposed to be at Belfast Sea festival?? Tax payers cost around £5 -£10k at a guess, other fantastic shows we went to were Peterborough truck festival! People took photo's of the truck LOL.. they have'nt much of a clue then again they always said idea was nt to recruit, they were right they never did!

I'd second that. I sat in on the presentation a couple of years ago, because I happened to be around. Well presented and a fairly balanced impression, certainly not all sweetness and light.

As I recall there was a killick and at least one AB who were pretty engageing and well informed in their own right, able to talk to people in the margins of the presentaiton itself. They had as much of an effect as the main presentation.

Not too long ago, I myself worked with the RNPT, for one night only as a RNR representative. The presentation was fantastic, the RM bandsmen were fantastic. And as was stated at the start of the thread, urge anyone you can to go along, the RN's media recruiting campaign is 5hit, this team is 10 times better than what you see on the TV.
And yes, the female LT is very sexy. Hope you're not offended maam.

Royal Navy Presentation Team.

Please provide Ian with useful feedback ladies and gentlemen.

Well done. Seadog. The best the RN Presentation team ("we are trying to reach those who don't know us") could do was give us the home page of the whole ******* Royal Navy. I gave up looking at that point. To Ian and the team ... talk to the yoof but learn from an oldie like seadog who at least understands that yoof (or us) cannot be bothered to search a whole bunch of web pages ... Yoof are not into deferred gratification, it's not their bag. Keep up the good work! :lol: :lol: :lol:
