IC Ball 2017 Saturday 1st July 2017 Canada and South Africa were our overseas guests at the 2017 IC Ball, which was once again held at The Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane. Mark Cox delivered a very interesting speech and introduced guest of honour Butch Buchholz, one of the original 'handsome eight' - a core group of players who were instrumental in the transition of tennis from an amateur to professional game 50 years ago. The evening concluded with music by the Kitts Band. Our thanks to Karen Hunter for once again organising a wonderful occasion on the eve of The Championships.
