               RIVER FESTIVAL Saturday 5th September at Shepperton Lock 

Fun for all the family

Weybridge Mariners Club was formed in 1960. It’s first home was part of a Wey Wheat Barge called Greywell.  In 1973 the ‘club’ moved to its site on Shepperton Lock Island .  Through the years 'The Mariners' joined the Association of Thames Yacht Clubs (ATYC), the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), the Inland Waterways Association (IWA) and the RNLI. They have exerted their influence in all manner of things boating and are members of various working groups, such as the Parliamentary Waterways Group (PWG), River Users Group 8 (RUG8).

  The club has had a close connection with the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships and each Autumn the Club pays host to the Dunkirk Veterans. They arrive in a fitting fashion on a river trip provided by the Dunkirk Little Ships based on the Thames . We have an undertaking that we will continue this event until the last Dunkirk survivor is fit enough to make the trip and wants to do so.

  The Mariner’s boats travel up and down the River Thames and visit France , Belgium , Holland & canals and the South and East Coasts of England.

  Sadly on March 2nd 2006 disaster struck and a fire broke out in the clubhouse. The clubhouse was completely destroyed along with all of its memorabilia.  

  In spite of the fire the Club continues to have a very full social calendar with many events during both the winter and summer seasons. Whether its a formal Fitting Out Supper or a good old fashioned Games Night the Club and its members always make you feel welcome.

  During the past year significant progress has been made with the rebuilding. The building is virtually complete and members are fitting out the interior. There is still much work to be done but we should be able to start using the clubhouse soon.
