Chertsey Regatta

Since the 1920s, with one or two exceptions, the regatta has been held annually alongside Dumsey Meadow.

Since 2004 Dumsey Meadow has in ecology been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

After discourse with local authorities and English Nature, agreement was reached allowing the regatta to continue its partial use of the site for one day each year.

[2] In acknowledgement of the support given by Spelthorne Borough Council who own the meadow, the name was modified to the Chertsey & Shepperton Regatta.

The committee bought an adjacent field for parking in July 2008.
