The Bristol and Bath Tennis Club was founded in 1985 by a small group of enthusiasts with the aim of providing a real tennis facility for people in Bristol, Bath, and adjacent areas in the southwest of England.[1]
Their efforts culminated in the construction of a new real tennis court situated on Clifton College's Beggar Bush Playing Fields during 1997.[2][3] Since then several hundred players have sampled the game for the first time, and the club has an established membership approaching 350.
