Reinforced by a fine crop of newcomers including Jim Langford, Roy Swetman and Mike Willett, Carshalton bounced back into Division 1 at the first time of asking by winning Division 2.

Again ground difficulties were worrying the Committee. Beddington Cricket Club were anxious to improve the facilities at the ground, joining the two pavilions together and improving the washing facilities. This involved a considerable sum of money and naturally they expected Carshalton to pay their part in return for which the Club would be granted a lengthy lease. Typical of the spirit of the Club, the Honorary and playing members subscribed so generously to "The Pavilion Loan Fund" that it was closed in a very short time. And to the credit of all playing members, every subscriber to the loan was paid back in four short years through their match fees. Of his many services to the Club, organising this fund was perhaps Bill Power’s greatest effort for the Club. Sadly it was also his swan song, as he announced his retirement from office due to moving out of the area. This was a great loss to the Club.

"Richmond" returned to the pages of The Club News, penning the following for the end of season edition.

Ended now is Soccer,
Summer days are here,
Scattered are Carshalton,
Shed a bitter tear.

Scattered for a season,
Free from winter’s rime,
How do all our fellows,
Pass the summer time?

Do some play at tennis?
Do some play at bowls?
(Not the latter, please, boys;
Pansy little souls!)

Do some men go tramping,
Hill or moor or strand?
On motor bike or cycle,
Others tour the land?

Some no doubt play cricket,
Others tan their face,
Lolling by the briny,
In some seaside place.

Golf has its devotees,
(Lord alone knows why!)
Others practice flying,
Soaring in the sky.

Swimming, driving, riding,
Touring lands afar,
When September cometh,
All return to "Car".

Though all through the summer,
Games you play with zest,
Not a doubt about it,
Winter days are best!
