International Club Member Nations

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.
