International Club Member Countries
The initial idea of the International Club was conceived at the 1923 Wimbledon
Championships, when a former British Prime Minister, Arthur Balfour, was chatting
with Wallis Myers, an outstanding writer on lawn tennis. Uppermost in Balfour's
mind was the prospect of promoting international goodwill by friendship across
the net. Meyers, was not one to let such an opportunity pass, and on the 26th November,
1924, the I.C. of Great Britain was formed. In the following year, steel grey and
pink were selected as the Club's colors. The I.C. was to foster friendship, pure and
uncommercialized.
