To attempt a 'short history' of the Inchinnan Cruising Club would be as dangerous as trying to condense the Old Testament into a couple of pages. The following notes merely outline the work and enthusiasm of hundreds of officials and members who made the ICC what it is today - a unique organisation by any standard which has weathered many, many storms in an amazingly democratic manner...

A couple of years after the event, a 'special note' on the foundation of the club was entered in the minute book by Tom Christie. This note records that the first Commodore was John Carmichael, who owned a boat called 'Almeria'. The membership roll for 1932 to 1933 included 36 names and a list of 30 boats.

It is also clear that the choice of a name for the club was discussed at length at the first meeting of budding members. The two most popular suggestions were: Blytheswood Cruising Club and the Inchinnan Bridge Cruising Club.
