P J Parsons takes a humorous look at the typical tennis club, inspired by his own experiences of club tennis at home and abroad over the past seventy-odd years. His observations on the characters who constitute a club's membership and committee resonate with all those who are or who have been members of their local tennis club, from the Joke Teller to the fount of All Knowledge and the Gadget Master. The perils and pitfalls of committee membership are explained, and there are some useful hints and anecdotes for those wishing to improve their performance with the help of a little gamesmanship.

P J Parsons was born in London in 1932, educated there and in Sussex, and he was evacuated to Oxford during the Second World War. His National Service was completed with the RAF. The author is well-travelled and lived and worked in Germany and the Far East. He has been a participant in all sports, including tennis, squash, football and athletics, although he is currently reduced to playing tennis, cycling, swimming and playing some social squash. P J Parsons has undertaken voluntary work for East and West Sussex for twelve years.
