Ahead of the AGM on Sunday, I've been looking through the archive from 1944, although Colin Q informs me the "North Cheam Section" as it was called then was started in 1939.
Some years are missing between 1939 & 1943 & the early nineties.
1944 - Earliest AGM in my possession
1947 - Sub-Section “Wayfarer” formed
1949 - Section renamed “Cheam & Morden”
1949 - 60 present at AGM - Morden Park
1965 - Pete Mitchell General Secretary & Treasurer
1967 - Richard Delamare Runs Secretary
1968 - Additional Section Wayfarers formed
1972 - Bob Eberhard Runs Secretary
1983 - Club run competition (attendance) & Puncture competition introduced free lunch/inner tube as prizes
1988 - Andy Coxhill Press Secretary
1998 - Post Christmas lunch (from December to save money)
2004 - Graham Hill General Secretary
2006 - Andy Coxhill Runs Secretary
2008 - Formal group – CTC Cheam & Morden
2008 - Hilly 50km raised £474.20 on £2 entry fee (remains in account at present)
2009 - Puncture/annual lunch prize abolished
2016 - Tony Hopkins Runs Secretary
2019 - David Ward Runs Secretary
2021 - Annual Lunch abolished
I'll be bringing along to the AGM the following:
Minutes from a commitee meeting in 1946 requesting "methylated spirit stoves" for a ride to the coast.
An agenda from 1950 that had ten positions to fill.
A photocopy of the CTC Gazette which they reported a circulation of 200 copies of the Sou'wester also in 1950.
A press photo of Bob Eberhard's campaign to change a council's plan around Epsom station.
Pete Mitchell's ingenious way of recording attendance in the late eighties.
A "Welcome to the Cheam & Morden Section" handout from 1999.
A map of all the rides in 2004/05.

I thought the North Cheam Section was formed pre-war as this extract from the Sou'Wester archive confirms: "Bill Quemby was South London DA Secretary at that time and he and wife Dorothy had founded the North Cheam Section in 1939."

Hi Colin, I don't doubt you're correct but the (incomplete) archive I have only goes back to 1944.
