Vote opens door for Wimbledon’s future

Wimbledon’s future was being determined Wednesday, at the golf club across the street.

Ownership of the 73 acres reverts to the AELTC – in 2041. The club made a $90 million offer to move that date up 20 years.

The extra space for expansion could move the Roehampton qualifying on site.

But … per the club’s charter, only 10-year members would benefit. So it was dead in the water.

The news Wednesday was that a vote to allow all members to share the bounty received the requisite 75 per cent.

A final vote on accepting the offer comes in December.
