The initial establishment of a club and affiliation to the
Amateur Rowing Association took place in 1927 with the contribution of members of
Thames Rowing Club and
Kingston Rowing Club and including active members of
Thames Valley Skiff Club and the now defunct Oatlands Rowing Club. The club's first President was
Steve Fairbairn. Activities ceased during World War II and in the postwar period much effort was spent on establishing a clubhouse and boat house. This was the forerunner to the present building at the end of Sunbury Lane, 1953 to 2011. The Club incepted Walton Amateur Regatta, and co-organises the Weybridge Regatta successor Walton and Weybridge Regatta. It organises in its own right, since 1978, the Walton Small Boats Head, a major December event in the club calendar. The club was the first to have competed at National Schools Regatta as a non-school club – this was in 1976. Nine men's juniors between 2007 and 2013 were selected for World Juniors, or World U23s. The club won its 24th national title at the
2025 British Rowing Club Championships. == Honours ==
