A scheme to send parcels to serving members was started, with Misses Garrett and Cable doing most of the work.  A Comforts Fund to cover the expenses was helped by a lantern show at Woking's clubroom.

Both sections were experiencing poor runs attendances and Woking discontinued Saturday rides though Sunday runs were carried out without a break, much to the credit of Tom Keeble who was on every run during that year.  The Benstead Cup Competition was suspended, the Test Rides abandoned because of the lack of active and energetic support and the photographic competition was also a non-starter because film was not available.  Woking reported that their Ladies Attendance Award had gone to Edith Ottaway and the club room was still functioning.  Bernard Reeves' good work as Press Secretary ended on his departure from the district.  He once sent in a report to local papers describing a run to Penn (which he did not attend himself).  He made it all up including a statement that William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, was buried in the churchyard at Penn.  Next week a letter appeared from a correspondent pointing out that Penn was buried at Jordans, near Chalfont St. Giles!
