The decision to form a surgical club evolved from preliminary meetings held in 1908-1909. A committee was formed, including Mr G Lenthal Cheatle, Mr Charles Ryal, Mr E M Corner, Mr J W Thomson Walker (Honorary Treasurer) and Mr Herbert Paterson (Honorary Secretary). The Surgical Club was formed in 1910, with the purpose of 'social intercourse of those engaged in the active practice of surgery and interested in the promotion of the science and art of surgery, and shall include the demonstration of original work in general and special surgery, the discussion of the same, together with the discussion of points of technique and other matters of scientific and clinical interest' (Surgical Club Rules 1910). Initially, the club was to have twelve members, although this increased over the years, with five additional honorary members. The control of the club rested with a committee made up of three ordinary members, the Treasurer and the Honorary Secretary. The Surgical Club met 5 times a year on the 4th Wednesday of October, November, January, March/April (depending on the date of Easter) and May.
