I love Wimbledon and have been lucky over the years, to go a few times. I can remember [during GCE's!!] queueing up and getting tickets Centre courtside, a memorable day. In my youth, tennis was my sport as well as riding, and it is lovely to watch such good sportspeople. Judy C

So keep me informed of whats going on please. When I was younger you could tell when it was wimbledon as all the bats and balls came out for an airing, we used to tie a string from one gate handle to the other to act as a net. ( Happy Days....)

I usually do a week but not this year for a change. Missed it though and might have to go back to camping for the week again next year! Jx

Maybe one day, but the tickets are like gold, aren't they. I would also love to go to Ladies Day at Ascot in a big hat!! Glad you enjoyed your day, Fiona. Did you have to queue up for tickets? Anne

Claire was offered the two Centre Court tickets in February or March and sent off the money immediately. I didn't hear for a few weeks, then was offered two for this coming Friday on Court 1 for veterans' and boys' matches. I decided not to bother so those tickets would have been offered in the third round of postings; presumably any still not taken are sold on the gate. Claire and a friend have been going regularly for years, always with tickets from the ballot. Sometimes one would get them, other years they both had an offer and were able to go twice. Had I needed to queue on the gate I wouldn't have bothered, it was only because Claire's friend married and moved away that she offered me a ticket last year and I enjoyed it so much (despite the rain) I wanted to go again.
