Walton & Frinton Yacht Club Ltd

The first General Meeting of the Walton-on-the-Naze Sailing Club was held at the Albion Hotel, Walton, on 20th September 1910. Shortly after that, it moved into a rented club room, above what was the Fire Station at the top of Mill Lane (part of the old Town Hall complex). The club room was open on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons during the winter months and daily during the summer. The club subscribed to the yachting magazines and purchased books to form the basis of the club library. Its objective was “to encourage yacht racing and cruising in local waters, to improve the navigation facilities in these waters and to promote the association of those interested in yachting”.
