Howard's story which traces his love of tennis from an early age
and throughout to his 70th year, reveals his innermost thoughts and
feelings during match-play. Despite his modest achievements he
reflects on the competitive joy and aspirations of so many tennis
players. Emanating from the stories and descriptive events told in
each chapter, several universal themes recur. "Critical moments"
which helped to shape the future along with "lessons learned;"
"dealing with success and failure;" "technical points;"
"resilience;" those "lighter moments" which occur on and off the
court and finally adherence to the "sporting ethos" which others
share and which consolidates so many friendships.
In 1872, the world's first tennis club was founded in Leamington
Spa. The world's oldest tennis tournament, the Wimbledon
Championships, was first played in London in 1877. These first
Championships culminated in a debate on how to standardise the
rules of the sport as it evolved. John Moyer Heathcote was one of
those who devised the original rules of lawn tennis, and he is also
credited with inventing the cloth covering for the tennis ball. An
amateur tennis champion until 1882, he wrote one of the very first
manuals of the sport. The Classic Guide to Tennis instructs the
budding tennis player in how to become a master of the game.
Camber today boasts a beautiful new clubhouse and a thriving
membership - but it was not always so. This book charts the trials
and tribulations of more than a hundred years of this unique sports
club's history, from murky beginnings in the early years of the
twentieth century to the present day. It describes how Camber
survived two world wars, two evictions, crippling debts, a serious
of internal battles and thefts and finally the 2013 fire. Along the
way we meet the personalities who made the club and enabled it to
survive - and some who nearly brought about its demise.
