THE SIDCUP & FOOTS CRAY UNITED SERVICES CLUB IS 100 YEARS OLD!

The club was founded in 1922, after a group of ex-servicemen gathered together with the object of forming a club with the ideals of maintains the comradeship that was formed during this terrible war, and after much searching - not only for suitable premises but for finance as well - the club was to be formed at 171 Main Road.

The first statutory meeting was held at the local Council Offices on Thursday 12th January 1922. when over 50 ex- servicemen present unanimously resolved the Sidcup & Foots Cray United Services Club be opened on Saturday, 4th February 1922. The first President of the Club was to be J.C. Pullman, and the VicePresident T Todrick,

It was on 7th July 1945, where an offer was put forward to the Club to purchase 108 Main road for the sum of £3,000, it was reported that owning to the age and poor repair from war damage, funds would have to be raised to a minimum of £4,000.

In November 1945, 108 Main Road, was purchased for £3,000 and Messrs Fremlin’s agreed to advance a loan of £4,000, in sums of £300 deposit and £2,700 and the balance when needed at a later date. The club as we know it now, based at 108 Mian Road, was opened on Thursday 28th February 1946.

As the decades have gone on the Club’s ethos has slowly steered towards the remembrance of our Armed Services whilst providing a social hub for the local community
