Gainsborough Town Tennis Club circa 1950

            This club played at the Trent Port ground, just across the Trent Bridge. Several of the people in this photo paired up and married. Included in this group are my father, my mother and her two sisters (and a future uncle of mine), and the parents of one of my schoolfriends.

I played tennis there from about 1972 to 1975. Dennis Martin (top row, extreme right),  my father (top row, forth from right) and Hermann Gilbert (of Gilberts the plumbers, middle row, 5th from right) still played there in the 1970s and on into the 1990s.

In the 1980s the club moved to Corringham Road.
