On Saturday 26th September the Avenue Tennis Club celebrated its hundredth year with a special Centenary Ball held on No 2 tennis court under a large marquee.  The ball was attended by around 205 members, ex members, old and new friends of the club and was a huge success. 

Special guest speaker John Feaver (ex British Davis Cup player and great nephew of one of the founder members) reminded the attendees of the club’s origins and congratulated the current committee on its current stewardship and strategy to involve more families and encourage tennis throughout the local community.  Ex Davis Cup Squad  and Wimbledon player Lee Childs, a former Somerset and Avenue Tournament player, was also in attendance with, to name but a few, Somerset LTA President, Basil Mann and Somerset LTA Chairman Ken Johnson, together with a number of past presidents, chairmen and captains of the club.
