History |
Thames waterman and river workers founded Greenwich Yacht Club in Greenwich on the
10th March 1908. The Clubhouse was situated for many years on the beach adjacent to the
current clubhouse. Originally, it was a beached Thames Sailing Barge "Iverna", then later
a hut on the Mudlarks Way beach. (See pictures in the club bar) in more recent times we
were based in what is now known as the "old clubhouse" at the end of Riverway. That site
was required by English Partnerships, as part of the preparation for construction of the
Millennium Dome so English Partnerships provided the club with new facilites on the
previously redundant Peartree Wharf.
Greenwich Yacht Club took occupation of the site early in November 1999 with temporary
clubrooms in what is now the shoolroom and where we celebrated the millenium. We finally
moved across to our splendid clubhouse in June 2000. Today our club has more then 400 members
and is still open for membership. |
