HISTORY
Wrea Green Tennis Club
68 Years & Counting
WGTC WAS FOUNDED IN 1956
In the early 1950’s members of Wrea Green Youth Club had been enjoying playing tennis, by invitation, on the front lawn of the Birley family’s house which is now the The Villa, Wrea Green. This was a beautifully manicured grass court.
On the death of Mrs Birley, the family wanted to provide a tennis facility for the village and donated the land on which the club now stands in Mill Lane.
Many fundraising events were held and one hard tarmac court was finally laid and opened in 1956 when Wrea Green Tennis Club was formally founded.
A second court was added only a few years later and finally a third court completed the development
