Steve Kitchen, BBC Radio Gloucestershire
It’s a book not just about the club but a social history as well. The photographs and memorabilia that you’ve managed to find are really interesting.
Robin Brooks, Gloucestershire Echo
A well-produced and informative book.
Christine Peers, club secretary from 1987 to 1990
This fascinating historical record is a must-buy for members and all sports lovers. The club’s amazing 140-year journey from a small wooden hut to the now beautifully modern playing and clubhouse facilities and all-inclusive multi-racket sports membership of over 1800 is inspiring. A fascinating and absorbing read. It will definitely make you even more proud to be associated with the wonderful East Glos Club.
Rath Sundaram, club member
This is a fabulous book. It was amazing to read that the top players in the world graced the East Glos courts before Wimbledon.
Charlie Vivian, club member
Renowned for his Gok Wan attire, Charlie finds himself reprimanded regularly, being told that the club rules state that clothing should be mainly white. But having read this book, he can now inform his detractors that this rule was dropped in 1989. He says, “Buy this book! Perhaps you too will unearth a nugget that transforms your life!”
Ian Smith, club member
This is the Tina Turner of history books. Simply the best!
