Over the weekend of May 17 and 18, 185 motor cruisers from 16 boat clubs on the River Thames assembled for Twickenham and District branch's 21st annual inter-club regatta at The Queen's Promenade, Kingston-upon-Thames. After an illuminated procession of 18 of the boats on Saturday evening, Sunday was given over to dinghy racing, rowing races and a 'most amusing nautical event' competition on the river, while, on shore, Shoreline, souvenir and book stalls did a roaring trade. A most successful weekend which achieved a final profit of about £500 for the lifeboats. photograph by courtesy of Huw Powell, 'Surrey Comet'.
