Hook Lawn Tennis Club August 26 2015

One of our customers is researching the history of local lawn tennis clubs in the Chessington, Surbiton and Kingston area, and is particularly looking for information about HOOK LAWN TENNIS CLUB. The club was based in King Edward Recreation Ground, Chessington, Surrey and closed down around 1979 or 1980. It competed in Surrey LTA team competitions and in the annual Sterry Cup which was run under the auspices of the Surbiton Open Spaces Lawn Tennis Association. If you were a member of Hook Lawn Tennis Club, or now anything about it, please contact us here at the Tennis Gallery.

Rod Laver at TGW July 08 2015

We wish to think Rod for spending his valuable time with us, and everyone who met him now knows him to be a kind and modest man as well as one of the all time greats of tennis.

Sportsmans Book Club May 21 2015

In the 1950s and 60s a mail order book service was operated from London to provide affordable books for sports lovers. The Sportsmans Book Club published cheap editions of quality books which members could buy for about a third of the original published price. The books were hardbacks in the club's distinctive thin paper dustjackets. Sports covered included cricket, football, rugger, boxing and - from time to time - lawn tennis. SBC books share a highly readable style which now half a century later seems absolutely charming! We have some SBC books at prices under twenty pounds, and we will be adding these to the website shortly. Titles will include the SBC edition of Lew Hoad's autobiography My Game.
