Info First edition. Draw: 28

This is not the provincial LTA tournament - the club initially attempted such a big tournament in 1906, but obviously wasn't approved parallel to the provincial one
also called "first annual Easter open tournament"
378 entries for 10 events; 20 more than for the provincial tournament in January
owing to the weather, the remaining matches are postponed for April 25 (incl. XD, WD)
nice noitce in 1911: "the Wellington LTA does not intend to cater for its players at Easter. ... Brougham Hill Club ran a very good meeting some little time back, why not repeat the performance?"


Report Mens doubles final: Fisher/Cox def. Swanston/Peacock 6-5 6-4

Mixed doubles final (Draw: 26): Ward/Peacock def. Mrs. Hickson/Smythe 6-5 6-0
