Kingston Surbiton and Molesey Branches

In spite of rather grim weather for part of the time, the sun eventually shone on the Kingston, Surbiton and Molesey branches' annual inter-club regatta weekend which was a great success. Nearly 150 boats from 14 yacht clubs, including Raymond Baxter's Dunkirk veteran, L'Orage (3rd left), took part. A raft race, illuminated sail past organised by members of the Middle Thames Yacht Club and inter-club races were all part of the two days' activities. At the end of a highly enjoyable weekend £2,030 had been raised for the Institution.
