[from A.M Harrision's Descriptive List of Insular Societies]
A second benefit society for Ramsey was founded in 1815. In 1820, after only five years in operation it merged with the senior Ramsey Philanthropic Society, a significant boost to a club weakened in 1818 by the defection of a majority of its younger members, alarmed by the actuarial actualities of the financial structure of a twenty-eight year old club. There are no newspaper reports of this club and none of its records has been located.
