Ah.

Was Dennis Tennis a High Court judge? That would explain why there are Tennis Courts. It would also explain if it was a court of arbitration why there are independent umpires as well.

Great to have some new members who really get involved.

At least Chris has all the info he needs.

Interesting question! Tennis has roots going back to 12th-century France, though modern lawn tennis was formalized in England in the late 19th century. The person maintaining the court is usually called a "groundskeeper" or "court attendant."
