Welcome to the Sportsnet 2012 Wimbledon itinerary!
Before we get into the day-to-day happenings it’s important that we explain a couple of things. During our welcome function, the group will be segmented into 2 groups of 6 via a hat draw. The reason behind this is simply that we have 6 Centre Court tickets per day. I’m glad we’ve cleared that up, here we go…
Day 1 – Sunday 24th June
This afternoon guests arrive into London and are transferred to your accommodation. After checking into the Hilton Cobham, the group will gather in the hotel bar for a casual welcome cocktail function. This is a great chance to get to know fellow tour attendees, and tour hosts Steve Huss (2005 Wimbledon Doubles Champion) and Greg Duns (expert tennis coach) over a couple of drinks. .
