Annual Dinner 2026

The IPSOBLTA Annual Dinner took place on Thursday, 12 March 2026, following the Association’s AGM, at The Courtside, All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon. Seventy‑two members and guests attended, enjoying an evening of excellent company, a superb meal and an engaging speaker session.

After the AGM the Geoff Brown Award for contribution to the Association was presented by incoming President Conor Boden to our outgoing President Bruce (H.B.) Weatherill. The award recognises exceptional, long‑term service to the IPSOBLTA; Bruce was honoured for over 40 years’ commitment to the Association and his wider contributions to the game.

The dinner was delicious as ever, with excellent hospitality from The Courtside and a warm atmosphere throughout the evening. Our guest speaker, Kyle Edmund, was superb. Conor Boden conducted a polished interview that drew out memorable insights into Kyle’s career and life as a professional player.

The Q&A that followed was lively and well received, with thoughtful answers that kept the room engaged and many members staying on to speak with Kyle afterwards.

Thanks to The All England Lawn Tennis Club for hosting, to the venue staff for their excellent service, and to the event organisers for ensuring a smooth and enjoyable evening.
