:02:49. > :02:52.60 years but now the council says the land it occupies

:02:53. > :03:04.tennis clubs in London wouldn't accept these players.

:03:05. > :03:07.They felt it was because of their class or ethnicity.

:03:08. > :03:09.Together, they formed their own club - the Globe -

:03:10. > :03:16.We are an important contributed to the community and once this is gone,

:03:17. > :03:18.you can never replace it. The lease with Camden Council

:03:19. > :03:20.is up for renewal and it wants to make

:03:21. > :03:22.changes to it. It could see the club

:03:23. > :03:24.eventually demolished Volunteers say it doesn't realise

:03:25. > :03:38.the importance of the work Our coaches provide coaching for

:03:39. > :03:43.free in local schools, which membership here pays for, so we are

:03:44. > :03:46.open, we are accessible, we are diverse and inclusive and we are

:03:47. > :03:54.affordable and that separates us from the average club in London. For

:03:55. > :03:57.members, the news is devastating. It unites a lot of the local schools

:03:58. > :04:01.around here, whether it is state schools or private schools. The only

:04:02. > :04:05.place we can go to where it feels like another community space. Camden

:04:09. > :04:13.letter from the council to the local MP here and in it, it says this land

:04:14. > :04:18.and this club does have potential to be redeveloped the housing. Despite

:04:19. > :04:19.that, the council has told us it is committed to providing sports in the

:04:20. > :04:19.local area. The campaign to protect

:04:20. > :04:21.the club has been getting support from celebrities

:04:22. > :04:23.around the world - including a former Dr Who

:04:24. > :04:32.who lives next door. It's not only important that this

:04:33. > :04:38.club continues to exist in practical terms, for people to pay tennis, but

:04:39. > :04:41.to send out a message, particularly post-Brexit, about multiculturalism,

:04:42. > :04:42.multi-faith and a sense of community, a global community.

:04:43. > :04:46.the council and the tennis club will have to go to court

:04:47. > :04:52.A quick look at the weather now and there's more rain tonight.
