Default Henley Marsh Meadows

Are we the only people who pay at Henley - assuming that the car park machines work.

Well, I have certainly paid via the car park machine this year. I must admit, I did look to see if any other boats were showing the payment slips and didn't see any.

I presume the pay and display regs will apply to boats as well as cars so I can't wait to see a boat clamped or towed away.....

Not the easiest set of credit card payment instructions I've ever seen.......

The last time I moored at Henley a little man came along collecting fees each morning for the overnight stay, can't you moor during the day free to go shopping etc?

At Marlow a couple of chaps would come along in the evening to collect the outragouse 10 quid free, but oh yes you could use the gyms showers BIG DEAL. Even my little tub has a shower on board, well a bucket with holes init!!!!!!

During normal times - ie not regatta weeks etc- you can moor from 10am til 3pm without having to pay. However, the nice guy has gone and been replaced by a Pay and Display machine in the carpark by the rowing museum.
