   Extractions: Welcome to The Tennis Bookshop Web Site! I do hope you will find something you would like to buy; if it is not here, let me know and I will try to find it for you. My name is Alan Chalmers and I am the proprietor of The Tennis Bookshop. I am a regular and enthusiastic player of Real Tennis. I started the business in 1988, and staged my first exhibition at The Queen's Club during the celebration of the Lawn Tennis Association's Centenary. On that first day, HM The Queen visited the shop, which was both an enormous thrill and a daunting beginning! Since then, I have taken The Tennis Bookshop to more than 50 major tennis events in venues including Amsterdam, Antwerp, Bournemouth, Brighton, Eastbourne, Frankfurt, London Arena, Nottingham, Olympia, Queen's Club, the Royal Albert Hall and Wembley. Although I do considerable business at public exhibitions, the bulk of my turnover is done through the mail, in response to quarterly newsletters sent to clients in 65 countries. I offer a comprehensive service in titles related to the games of Lawn Tennis, Real Tennis, Rackets and Squash Rackets. I maintain a massive stock of titles, where my watchword is quality. I place particular emphasis on supplying books which are first editions, in very good condition, without inscriptions, and most importantly with their original dustwrappers where issued. It is likely that these books will cost a bit more than elsewhere, but I take the view that you should always buy the best you can afford, when it comes to books.

Name: Email: Comments: HELP Click on this text to enter the help area of the Real Tennis site, or type in address www.real-tennis.com/help THE EARLY HISTORY OF REAL TENNIS "KING OF GAMES, GAME OF KINGS" Real Tennis as it is called in Britain, Royal Tennis as it is called in Australia, Court Tennis as it is called in the States, Jeu de Paume as it is called in France or Tennis as it is properly known, is the oldest of all the racket games, and unlike most of the others, such as squash or lawn tennis, it is a product of evolution rather than pure invention. The game started to form into something recognisable in the 11th century. It started as hand ball, played by monks around the cloisters of monasteries in Italy and France, much as schoolchildren do in any appropriate corner of their school, and rules varied to suit local whims and conditions. Gradually, as monks travelled to other monasteries, the more enjoyable rules were more generally adopted, the more bizarre rules abandoned and people started to add features to their courtyards that improved the pastime, and demolish or modify others that detracted from it. The monks enjoyed the game so much that the Pope banned the playing of it, and by the 14th century the game had spread from cloister to castle and become a game of the nobility.

    Extractions: As a tennis player and all-round sports enthusiast, I was always intrigued by the idea of Real Tennis. Then, earlier this year, I happened to learn that several courts had opened recently, including the state-of-the-art Millennium court at The Burroughs Club, Hendon in north London. And that, I soon discovered, is one of the charms of Real Tennis - unlike almost any other sport I can think of, the world-ranked tournament pro, the club manager and the on-court coach are one and the same bloke.

    Extractions: Seacourt Tennis Club situated on Hayling Island in Hampshire has a long and colourful history. The original building was built in 1911 by the late Mr John F Marshall as a private Real Tennis Court and remained so for many years. Following his death the estate was dispersed and Seacourt first became a club in 1954 when a bar was opened to complement the tennis and badminton facilities. Sadly, this original club was not a success and it closed in the late 1950s. The building lay unused and neglected for many years until, in 1966, some members of the original Real Tennis and Badminton Club purchased the freehold and established Seacourt Tennis Club on a firm footing. Under the guidance of these founding fathers and their successors the club has thrived during the past thirty-five years and now holds world renown in the field of rackets sports. Seacourt has the honour of a mention in the Guinness Book of Records, having the unique distinction of being able to offer enthusiasts all five rackets sports of Real Tennis, Rackets, Squash, Badminton and Lawn Tennis, all within one venue. In addition, the club offers facilities for Fencing, Karate and Ballet. There is also a fully equipped Fitness Centre, and a licensed bar where members can relax after their exercise. Seacourt offers bar meals and the club has the advantage of holding a Children's Certificate. A full a-la-carte dining menu is available in the relaxed surroundings of our comfortable dining room on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday evenings and we offer a Carvery Sunday Lunch menu. The club is able to provide facilities for more substantial occasions, catering for weddings and private functions for up to 250 guests. Please contact our Functions Manager for further details.

    Extractions: One might have thought that a game dating back to the 14th century would have died out, but despite our high tech society quite the reverse is true. It is being played by a more varied cross section of people than ever before and the rules have hardly changed in 450 years. New courts are being built, and there are an ever increasing number of new players, including a substantial number of converts from lawn tennis and squash. Devotees of the game will give you many reasons for its popularity:
