Once a year the association organises a dinner & dance to herald the start of the boating season. A chance to get together with your fellow river Thames boaters and celebrate all that is great about our shared passion of boating on England's longest river.
This popular event sometimes features a guest speaker and always a live band to have a good boogie. Our 2025 event hosted 14 member clubs who sent contingencies ranging vastly in numbers and totalling a fabulous 100 with the traditional award of the Old Father Thames Trophy being awarded on the night to the Richmond Yacht Club.
Join us once again atop the hill in Richmond, London's greenest (and, in our view, chicest) borough, where the meandering river Thames and the royal park are only a stone throw away. Make a weekend of it and stay in the hotel with its swoon worthy interiors, a 24-hour gym, an award-winning restaurant and a seasonal outdoor terrace. All the ingredients for an unforgettable weekend!
Book your tickets & hotel room early and benefit from the special discounted room rate for bed & breakfast. Rooms are booked directly with the hotel (Mon-Fri) on 020 8940 2247 and quote ASSO280226
Dust down your black tie dinner suit gents and ladies their finest gala gown on the last Saturday in February and join us for an evening of great food, company and live music to get you shaking some moves on the dance floor. Ignite your boating passion at this good old get together with your fellow members and those of us who'd rather not dance enjoy a natter with some of your boaty friends.
The evening kicks off with a welcome drink in the Ball room Bar before dinner at 18:30hrs which is followed by music till the early hours.
Richmond Hill Hotel's Head Chef, Lukasz Krzysiek, and his team never cease to delight. Enjoy the selection chosen from their seasonal menu, a signature cocktails or perhaps one of the 100+ gin selection.
From the welcoming bar to the stunning restaurant, the talented team are serving up a whole host of fresh flavours.
