==History==
The club was formed on May 31, 1867 at the West Brompton running grounds.〔(The Lancet, Volume 89, Issue 2284, 8 June 1867, Pages 724–725 )〕 The club was set up by Mr. S. Edwin Jolly who held the position of treasurer during the early years of the club.〔The British Medical Journal, April 25, 1868, pg 407〕 The events held on June 11 and 12 1869 at Beaufort House included; Flat Race 100 yards, Flat Race 250 yards, Flat Race 880 yards, Flat Race One Mile, Flat Race 2 miles, Hurdle Race 120 yards, Hurdle Race 440 yards, High Jump, Long Jump, Throwing the Hammer, Throwing the Cricket Ball, Putting the Stone, Three Legged Race and Consolation Race 250 yards.〔The Athlete, W Pilkington, 1869, pg 105-6〕 King's, Guy's, London, St Thomas's, University College, St George's and St Mary's Medical Schools took part.〔The Athlete, W Pilkington, 1869, pg 107〕 For the fourth annual meeting in 1870 the event had to be moved to cater for a crowd of over 3000 spectators to the A.A.C Grounds, Lillie Bridge with 127 entries across all the different races.〔(The Medical Times and Gazette, Volume 1, 18 June 1870, Page 763 )〕
The first presidents of the club were highly esteemed physicians and surgeons, Sir William Fergusson 1867, Sir Thomas Watson 1868 and Sir William Jenner 1869.〔(The Lancet, Volume 91, Issue 2331, 2 May 1868, Pages 567–572 )〕 The club required a physician and surgeon from each participating hospital to serve as vice-presidents of the club, this secured funding for the various prizes and ensured its continuation from year to year.〔(The Medical Times and Gazette, Volume 1, 18 June 1870, Page 763 )〕
By the end of the 19th century the club held events at Stamford Bridge
