About Grafton Tennis and Squash Club

History

Grafton is the fifth oldest club in the land, founded in 1888, taking its name from Grafton Square in Clapham where residents played tennis on Clapham Common. It was decided to found a club which migrated to its present site in the 1920s. The 1980s saw a golden age when we regularly won national tennis and squash events and ruled locally. Currently we are approaching similar standards with the Men’s and Ladies tennis teams knocking on the door of the Surrey Premier Divisions and the Squash Teams doing well in the Surrey Cup Squash County Leagues.

The club is run entirely by volunteers who dedicate a great deal of their personal time to running the club for the benefit of its members. We encourage all members to ‘get involved’, no matter how big or small the contribution, all help is welcome.

The committee oversees the sub-committee who ably assists them in running the club.
