ABOUT TWYC
TWYC was founded on the 29th February 1976. A meeting of all berth holders was called and 131 people attended. Some decided to form The Windsor Yacht Club - the aims of which were to go boating, exchange boating knowledge and hold social events to enjoy each others company.
Initially the club met and held functions in various halls in the vicinity until in February 1981 planning permission was granted for a clubhouse to be built on site at the marina. The clubhouse was finally finished in May 1982 - and since that time has seen various extensions and alterations, the latest addition being the very popular deck overlooking the Thames.
Today the club has 200+ members and whilst things have changed since its humble beginnings, the aims of the club remain the same.
A wide range of Club Events are held throughout the year both in the club house and on the river.
