Formation
At a meeting of several of the inhabitants of the Ward of Cheap held at the Guildhall Coffee House on 2"4 December 1863, it was resolved "that a desire to establish a Society in the Ward for the purpose neighbourly and Ward intercourse to be called the 'Ward of Cheap Amicable Society'". The name perhaps sounded too similar to a life assurance company and at the first official meeting on 15'" December 1863, the name was changed to the "Ward of Cheap Club", which it retains to the present day.
