Activities were centered around Woking and Guildford;  Chertsey and Weybridge areas had their own established cycling clubs and were well catered for already.  Bernard Reeves recalls that on only his second outing with the section, Bill Inder confronted him with "Isn't it about time you joined the club?"  In that year too there was a craze, started by Cecil Strode, to re-enamel bikes in chocolate and white and several followed the lead.

Tours were always popular at Easter, Whitsun and August Bank Holiday, the Isle of Wight being the favourite for Whitsun with Dorset and the Cotswolds as frequent areas for Easter and August.

Several members who worked in London started to attend regular dances at the Holborn Town Hall staged by the Metropolitan D.A. and that year saw an all night ride to Hastings and Bodiam Castle and the two Bills (Houghton and Inder) ventured into France, visiting Paris, Versailles and Fontainbleu.  "The Better 'Ole" at Godalming had become a traditional venue for Christmas morning rides and also in that year there was a run to Southampton to be shown over the s.s. "Leviathan" - a 130 mile week-end - eleven new members were the result of an invitation ride in September, joint runs were carried out with Reading, South Bucks and Sussex D.A.s and a social sub-committee was set up.
