Their idea was to encourage owners of traditional craft to cherish and restore them to all their former glory, as well as to continue to use them upon the river. The Rally was to be both a meeting and a showcase for owners and craft, at one of the most beautiful spots on the River Thames, with various trophies and prizes awarded. Throughout the weekend there will be continuous parades of all the many different classes of boats, including the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships. There are Classic cars as well….
