Weybridge Ladies Amateur Rowing Club (WLARC) is a rowing club at the confluence of a mouth of the Wey and two weirstreams of the Thames, based at Boat House, Walton Lane, Weybridge, Elmbridge, Surrey.
Site and watersports reach The site is owned by the club outright; its car park is time-of-stay, height- and width-restricted but public. For details of all the other well-established clubs on the reach see the list at Weybridge Rowing Club.
Colours The colours of the club are, but for the red being lighter, the same as those of Walton Rowing Club – both resemble Oxford Brookes Boat Club which has white as the middle band.
History The club was founded in 1926 and is affiliated to British Rowing. Amy Gentry founded the club at its Weybridge Point site six years after forming a thriving women's group at Weybridge Rowing Club.
The club has produced multiple British champions across many boat sizes, especially in the 1980s.
