In October we will visit the NSW Tennis Centre and Australian Tennis Museum at Homebush. The museum will be showing an exhibition of tennis fashions titled ‘It’s not all White – Tennis Fashions through the Ages’.

The morning will take the form of a guided tour of the Tennis Centre and will include a 20 minute video presentation and a walk up the players tunnel onto centre court.

The museum exhibition will have a collection of tennis clothing from 1870 to the present and some of the more notable items include Neale Fraser’s Davis Cup outfit, Evonne Goolagong-Cawley’s winning Wimbledon outfit, a pair of shoes worn by Steffi Graf and Georgeous Gussie Moran’s knickers.

At the conclusion of the tour we will travel a short distance to the Bicentennial Park for a light lunch at ‘Lilies on the Park’ Café.

Transport on the day will be own car or car pool and we will assemble at West Epping Panthers Bowling Club for a 9:30am departure to arrive at 10:00am at the Tennis Centre in Rod Laver Drive, off Shirley Strickland Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park.

Both venues have plenty of free parking.

Cost of the day will be $16.00 including the tour, morning tea and lunch.
