Report From "Pastime", June 16, 1886: "Last year the Penarth Club held an open tournament, when the success of their initial effort encouraged them to promote a more pretentious meeting, under the title of the Welsh Championships Tournament. This commenced on Monday last on the pretty grounds of the club at Penarth. The president of the Penarth Lawn Tennis Club, Lord Windsor, has done a great deal for it, having expended considerably over a thousand pounds in laying out the courts and building a comfortable pavilion. Three asphalt and four grass courts are at the disposal of the executive, who intend to use the latter only unless the weather renders such a course unavoidable."
