In September 1920, the first-ever Club meeting was held at the residence of Shri Tarit Bhusan Ray, the then Ray Bahadur of Kumartuli, which holds a great historical value. Every attendee of the meeting had their origins across the Padma River, and all were a victim of insult, neglect and disregard and were deprived and looked down upon by the “Ghotis”.

Shri Tarit Bhushan Ray was not known by all only because he was the son of the entitled Kundu dynasty of Bhagyakul in Dhaka district but also was because he was a renowned solicitor and attorney of Calcutta High Court. A meeting took place at his home on the Northern end of the famous Kumartuli Park. The agenda of the meeting was to name the East Bengal Club under formal proceedings, decide on the organizational programs, form the club committee, arrange for a ground of their own to play and practice for the division match, etc. The attendees of the meeting were Sardarjanan Roy, Nandlal Roy, Banwarilal Roy, Shailesh Basu, Tahidbhushan Roy, Nani Lal Roy, Suresh Chowdhury and Arvind Ghosh.
