Foundation The club's forebear was founded by 1900 as
London City & Midland Bank rowing club as the name of the bank had not simplified. In June 1901, those racing the already "annual event" that faced the London Joint Stock Bank and the Union Bank, side-by-side, were G. Webb, E.A. Briscombe, R. H. Baker, J. C. McTurk, F. H. Ward, C. A. S. Locking, T. G. Burt, A. Bugler and B. J. Buckhurst (cox).
20th century overview An
ARA reply of 1903 was, also approved and affirmed, addressed to The London City and Midland Bank Rowing Club's honorary secretary. The club became ARA-affiliated in June of that year. In the summer of 1925 the Midland Bank eight "crew" had an "unbeaten record" – though perhaps this refers to the Tideway, or the summer versus Oxford and Cambridge events, only.
20th century social scene In 1935 the annual club dinner was held at The Windsor Castle, Victoria (Westminster) with performers:
Bertha Willmott, Elisse Remah, Frank Hagley and Fred Hugh. Willmott also starred in the 1932 dinner performances. ==Notable results==
