August 2025 AGM 2025 Our AGM took place at the National Tennis Centre, Roehampton, on the middle-Sunday of The Championships at Wimbledon and was attended by 56 delegates, representing 33 out of the 41 ICs invited. The agenda covered: The approval of the formation of the new IC of Bolivia (you can read more about this here) The decision to notify two inactive ICs (Bulgaria and Romania) that they will be suspended at the next AGM, unless any rehabilitation to their activity occurs before then A generally healthy financial position, albeit reserves could be stronger and more introductions to potential donors are needed A strong level of events activity, with a significant number of upcoming anniversary celebrations (find out more about these here) A strong improvement to our communications, with all ICs sharing the eNews with their members and our IC Council Instagram account reaching over 1,000 followers The results of this year’s Business Returns survey, which you can read in more detail in the Members’ section of the website here An update from the IC Philanthropy Foundation, who are now supporting 17 programmes in 15 countries and have recently introduced a new Global Cultural Exchange Programme (you can read more about ICPF’s work here) The success of the inaugural wheelchair tennis event at the 2024 IC Week and an ask to more ICs to include wheelchair members and players. The AGM was preceded by a workshop on Saturday 5 July, which focused heavily on the theme of driving greater engagement with younger former players. We ask all ICs to discuss this objective more with their Regional Reps and Boards – including the nomination of potential mentors from your IC for current or former professionals.

July 2021 Update on IC Council Events 2021 Date: 6th July 2021 We hope all our IC Members are keeping safe, well and hopefully getting to play some tennis. The health, safety and well-being of members is a priority so unfortunately, we have had to cancel or postpone some events this year. We continue to closely monitor the situation. As of July 2021, the events below are scheduled for the remainder of the year. Most recent changes include the postponement of the Uruguay 40th anniversary event until April 2022, and the postponement of the Potter Cup until October 2021. Unfortunately we have very regrettably, after considerable discussions, cancelled The IC Rod Laver Worldwide Junior Finals. We are planning a Zoom meeting for the finalist teams with Rod Laver and will present them with special “Finalist medals”. Please see the relevant events page for further details.
