On January 26, 1901, a sports day organized by the Combined United Friendly Societies raised funds for the Camden Cottage Hospital. The event featured various competitions and attracted around 1,000 attendees, earning £60. Despite mixed reviews from the local editor, the day represented community unity and historical significance in celebrating European settlement.
