I've now found a website for the club itself: https://www.horning-sailing.club. They tell us that in 1910 the Horning Town Sailing Club was formed, with its Headquarters at the Swan Hotel, Horning. (I've seen a flag to go with that, and it's probably a Swan.) In 1938 the clubs of the Broads merged to form the Norfolk Broads Yacht Club. That same year, some people created the Horning Sailing Club, probably mostly motivated by ideas of being able to run a club better that way. That stubbornness has seen the club through till at least 2022.
