Mortlake Anglian & Alpha Boat Club (MAABC) is a rowing club based on the River Thames, close to Chiswick Bridge in Chiswick, West London and has produced multiple national champions. [1]

Although established in 1984, it has much older roots, which feature a series of mergers from eight clubs. In 1877, the Mortlake Rowing Club was founded, and the following year, the Anglian Boat Club was founded; these two clubs merged in 1962 to form the Mortlake Anglian Boat Club. [3]
Two clubs called the Bedford Park Rowing Club and the Barnes Bridge & District Rowing Club merged to form the Chiswick Rowing Club, and they later merged with the 1962 Mortlake Anglian Boat Club, becoming the Mortlake Anglian & Chiswick Boat Club. Finally, in 1984, the Alpha Women's Boat Club (formed in 1927) merged with the Mortlake Anglian & Chiswick Boat Club to become the Mortlake Anglian & Alpha Boat Club. [3]
