The purpose of the TCA is to promote tennis collecting and the history of tennis through an ongoing exchange among members utilizing a TCA website, published media and meetings.
Please find the information and registration forms for
our upcoming annual meeting in Newport in the Documents section of this site.
Feedback from my message several weeks ago was very positive and
we may indeed have our largest number of members attending.
There are several aspects to the July 8 -11 meeting that are
important to our growth and credibility as a connected community. First, we
have been granted space to familiarize and promote our organization on the
grounds of the Newport Casino during the Campbell's tournament. The
location and allotment of space to be provided is still being determined, but
the opportunity has been granted. Secondly, as you will note on
Saturday's agenda of Education and Collecting Seminars, joining Ken Benner
will be Doug Stark, Museum Director, ITHOF..... and.... YOU? If you are
attending, please let me know if you have a collector oriented story,
research discovery, item of interest or memorable tale to relate to us in
a 5 to 7 minute format.
The attached registration form is one of necessity for meals,
entertainment and general record keeping. Most of you indicating your intention
to attend have already made lodging arrangements. If however, you are electing
to join us more recently and need to seek accommodations, please contact
me and a list of "member endorsed" suggestions will be passed along.
Please note that we need to have it sent in by June 19th.
We have a very unique organization with an equally unique
membership.The opportunity to connect through our annual meeting
makes it all the more special.
With sincere wishes to see you in Newport,
George Wolbers, President
