The CTC has its headquarters established at the Olympic Museum due to the express wishes of the then President of the International Olympic Committee Mr. Juan Antonio Samaranch and is the place where Assemblies and other relevant functions are held.
It should be mentioned that the admission of four notably important clubs was approved at this recent Assembly: The Queen’s Club (London, UK), California Tennis Club (San Francisco, USA), Tennis Club Napoli (Naples, Italy) and the Winchester Tennis & Squash Club (Winchester, UK), institutions which will undoubtedly help in the expansion and recognition of the CTC.

The two days of presentations were attended by more than twenty persons, many of them from the different clubs of the CTC. The seven papers that were presented were highly relevant and gave rise to lively discussion, which served to bring to light the concern of the clubs in respect to their Tennis Schools, insofar as all aspects of training and formation are concerned, as well as social, sportive, competition, etc.

After two days of competition, the final victory went to the Royal Leopold Club, who won over the rest of the participants by a narrow margin of points.

In October of the same year, an exposition under the name "Tennis through the Centenary Clubs" was held, with objects and photographs provided by the clubs who at that time belonged to the CTC. Present at the inauguration was the President of the CIO, Mr. Juan A. Samaranch, who conversed with those attending and inquired about the history of the exhibiting clubs.

Those who were in attendance provided a presentation of their respective schools, explaining organizational aspects and the objectives and expectations they hoped to achieve. It proved to be an interesting interchange of experiences that everyone deemed to be very positive.
