Sir Richard, Roland Owen-George, Jim Calcott and Dr. Anthony Hobson helped to keep the club afloat and organized two successful appeals to pay for ongoing restoration work. They were instrumental in the appointment of Jonathan Howell. Dr. Hobson is well known for his portraits of Henry Johns, the Head Professional at Lords and Howard Angus, a former World Champion. He also painted the "Dinner Match" which hangs in the Bar at the Leamington Tennis Court Club.

Since Sir Richard's retirement in 1984, secretarial duties have been ably continued by Anthony Parsons and currently John Miller. Honorary Treasurers Jim Calcott, Tony Parsons and Anthony Parmiter, have, over the years kept a professional eye on the club finances. Mike Harwood and Paul Wilson-Gunn are now in the financial hot seat during the challenging Centenary year.

The Club progressed under the firm chairmanship of the Lord Willoughby de Broke from 1973 until 2002 when he retired to concentrate on his duties in the House of Lords, and he could, with some justification and satisfaction, claim that the Club should face the next millennium with great confidence. The Club has changed immeasurably since his first tuition from Ted Johnson in the late 1950's. Since then the Club has been refurbished and is a much warmer and more welcoming place for members and guests.

Recently, new showers have been installed, the grounds tidied up, the bar area redecorated and the driveway re-surfaced.
