ABOUT Middle Nene Cruising Club
The Middle Nene Cruising Club was formed in 1946.
The club began its life near Islip not far from Thrapston - Islip bridge.
It relocated to its present home at Titchmarsh Mill some years ago but the heart and spirit of the club went with it.
The Mill, a Grade II Listed water powered corn mill and attached house, is now the clubhouse. It dates from the mid/late 18th century.
A large cast-iron breastshot water wheel has been restored and is visible through viewing windows in the bar.
A mill race passes under the centre of the building.
You can find out more about the story of Titchmarsh Mill and MNCC on our History page.
The club presently has approximately 100 boats and 250 members and is thriving.
The social life as well as the boating side of the club has grown from strength to strength with social events throughout the year, some many organised in conjunction with other boat clubs on the River Nene.
MNCC as a club, is affiliated to AWCC (Association of Waterways Cruising Clubs) and is a member of the
IWA (Inland Waterways Association).
