Description:In August 1906 the first Stafford Sports Day was organised by Siemen's Social and Athletics Association, to raise funds for the society to take over part of Hough House as a 'Club House for recreation, reading rooms, etc.'
The sports day was a success and by 1908 the association had a membership of 1,000 and a new home in Tipping Street.
Activities included football, cricket, tennis, bowling, quoits, boxing, athletics, amateur dramatics, shooting, horticulture, and a literary and debating society.
