the "Ist Forum of Tennis School Coaches" in the installations
of the Spanish club. The two days of presentations were attended by
more than twenty persons, many of them from the different clubs of the
CTC. The seven papers that were presented were highly relevant and gave
rise to lively discussion, which served to bring to light the concern
of the clubs in respect to their Tennis Schools, insofar as all aspects
of training and formation are concerned, as well as social, sportive,
competition, etc.
---------------------------------------
Having completed play of the eight editions of the IOC President Cup,
the Committee of Management of the CTC is considering a new competition
for 2005 in which all clubs affiliated with the CTC would be able to
participate. The project is to be presented for approval to the AGM,
which will take place on the 20th of November 2004 in the Olympic Museum
of Lausanne.

in Barcelona, a Bridge Tournament was organized in which the teams from
the Cumberland LTC, Royal Leopold Club, T.C. Milano A.Bonacossa and
RCTB-1899 participated. After two days of competition, the final victory
went to the Royal Leopold Club, who won over the rest of the participants
by a narrow margin of points.
In October of the
same year, an exposition under the name "Tennis through the Centenary
Clubs" was held, with objects and photographs provided by the clubs
who at that time belonged to the CTC. Present at the inauguration was
the President of the CIO, Mr. Juan A. Samaranch, who conversed with
those attending and inquired about the history of the exhibiting clubs.

In June of 1998, coinciding with the playing of the IOC President Cup
in the Royal Leopold Club of Brussels, a meeting of the coaches in charge
of the Tennis Schools of the participating clubs was organized. Those
who were in attendance provided a presentation of their respective schools,
explaining organizational aspects and the objectives and expectations
they hoped to achieve. It proved to be an interesting interchange of experiences
that everyone deemed to be very positive. |
