The Courts

The Recreation Ground Sports Club in Lobethal has some double blue tennis courts that were resurfaced in November 2016.

What is not to love about tennis? Take Wimbledon for example, a serene and stately venue with onlookers partaking in strawberries and cream, maybe some bubbles. Others may prefer a spot of tea and scones, which may have been high on the agenda for the Lobethal players at the turn of the century. This photo is from the Advertiser on 21 September 1901, courtesy Lobethal TC.
