One of the oldest operating tennis clubs in Queensland One of the few tennis clubs remaining in Brisbane that manages to operate as a community club. Situated in Yeronga Park on Brisbane's inner southside and only a few kilometres from the CBD, the club offers members and the general community unequalled facilities expected of a modern centre. The main interest as a Club is to ensure good tennis is played. With a heritage dating back to 1907, we still achieve sound financial management with voluntary roles.

No exclusive privilege, however, could be granted.

Plus, can't believe that I missed our 2nd Anniversary on Flickr Commons! We launched on 1 June 2011. Would just like to wish us all a very happy anniversary (what's a second anniversary - is it paper?). Thank you all for making this "marriage" lively, interesting and fun. And we almost never shout at each other about map reading! :)

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Congratulations on your COTTON Anniversary - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_anniversary#Traditional_and... Good to see the tennis club in fine cotton too!

beachcomber australia I thank you! And in the bottom row (1st and third left) are sisters(?) in matching crocheted outfits - probably cotton also...

I think I can see 6 Ladies with wrist watches and 1 Gentleman with a wrist watch and 1 with a pocket watch on a fob.

Those ladies using croquet hammers would obviously struggle to play tennis with these "bats"! Or was this "Irish Rules" tennis - if your opponent doesn't play fair bop them with a croquet hammer?
