Forthcoming events are discussed and organised, Notices to Mariners and other club correspondence are made available.

The Albany Motor Yacht Club was started in August 1971, by the skippers and crews of boats moored at the Albany Hotel at Thames Ditton. Bob Few then Licensee offered the use of a room for meetings at a rent of 1p per annum and 12 people attended the inaugural meeting.

We are now Associate members of the DS&PC and are pleased to be continuing to use their splendid club house for our monthly meeting and special events.

Events

There is a range of activities during the year, approximately one per month, both on and off the water. There are competitions, weekends away, Channel crossings, etc, - enough variety to cater for most individual’s needs.
