welcome to Wimbledon 2016. If you came to The Championships last year, you may remember that I explained why the dates of Wimbledon had been changed by moving back one week in 2015. To recap and for anyone reading this for the first time, we and others had believed for a number of years that the best interests of the players and the sport as a whole would be served by having an extra week between Wimbledon and Roland Garros, two of the four Grand Slams which form the major pillars of the professional game. I am delighted to report that the revised calendar was an unqualified success. All the pre-Wimbledon tournaments had exceptionally strong player fields and most observers felt the standard of play during the first couple of days of The Championships was noticeably higher. Doubtless the good weather during practice week helped but a three week circuit prior to our Championships was unquestionably very popular with the players and they felt comfortable going into what for many are their biggest matches of the year and on what is arguably the biggest stage. Next year, we will have begun the serious work of making substantial improvements to No.1 Court, the most obvious element being that there will be no roof at all for 2017, and you will be able to follow the progress at www.wimbledon.com/ masterplan. Before then, of course, there is the small matter of this year’s Championships, the 130th. It promises to be another enthralling event and I very much hope you have an enjoyable and memorable visit to Wimbledon.

Please note the restriction, which will be enforced, on the number and size of bags which may be brought into the Grounds. DO’S & DON’TS There will be no general left luggage facilities inside the Grounds. However, debenture holders will be able to leave small items in the debenture holders’ cloakrooms along with coats and umbrellas. In the interest of security, AELTC reserves the right to search bags, vehicles and the person as a condition of entry to the Grounds. One bag only per person will be allowed and this bag must measure no more than 40cm x 30cm x 30cm (16” x 12” x 12”). Further, no hard-sided items (e.g. picnic hampers, coolboxes, briefcases, flasks and camping chairs) of any size will be allowed into the Grounds. All bags will be searched: • On entry to the Grounds. • At the entrances to Show Courts. • Before acceptance at left luggage facilities. • Please see page 82 for full conditions of entry to the Grounds. Please note: Speed of entry is decreased dramatically when multi-pocketed bags/backpacks are presented. If you have to bring a regulation size bag, as noted above, or one smaller, please choose a single compartment bag. DO • Leave prohibited items at Left Luggage. • Leave plenty of time to reach your destination – either getting into the Grounds or when moving within the Grounds. • Switch off mobile telephones, tablets and other communication devices in the stands and around the courts. • Hand in or offer your ticket for scanning, for resale on behalf of charity, as you leave the Grounds. DO NOT • Buy tickets from touts (Schwarzhändler, Bacarinagios, Scalpers, ダフ屋), they will not gain you entry. Tickets are checked at all entry gates. • Enter or leave the stands except at a change of ends and NOT during a tie-break. • Make a noise during a rally. • Applaud a net cord or double fault. • Use flash photography from the stands – automatic flashlights must be suppressed. • Bring babes in arms or children under 5 into any Show Court. • Smoke within the stands of any court or in any enclosed space, including on debenture balconies. • Take glass or uncovered drinks containers, hot or strong smelling food onto the Show Courts. • Leave items unattended at any time – they will be removed. Left luggage facilities are provided outside the Grounds for items exceeding these criteria. These facilities are shown on the map on pages 2 & 3. Every effort will be made to speed your progress through the search procedures; however, this process depends on the requirements of the Metropolitan Police. You are strongly advised to arrive as early as possible. We know that these procedures may be inconvenient but we are sure that you will understand the need to protect the safety and security of all our visitors. 10 11 SHOPPING AT WIMBLEDON SHOPPING AT WIMBLEDON The AELTC is delighted to present a new official Wimbledon range of merchandise for 2016 with a new Wimbledon apparel collection at its heart, designed with a particular emphasis on fit and style, heritage and quality.

We are proud to showcase the rich seasonal harvest and the very best in British suppliers, producers and artisans. Quality British ingredients are at the heart of our food and drink ethos and, where possible, will feature in the broad selection of dishes and menus available across the Grounds. STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM Ever since the first Championships in 1877, the strawberry has had its place as an indispensable accompaniment to tennis. Spectators at the All England Club’s original Worple Road Grounds enjoyed strawberries as they watched matches in the early days, with the juicy sweet fruit still remaining part of the heritage and tradition of The Championships today, where a staggering 28 tons are enjoyed each year. All our strawberries are grown by Marion Regan. Marion’s great grandparents began growing strawberries at Mereworth in Kent in 1893 and the family has been producing them ever since. To ensure the utmost of freshness, LEAF certified Grade I strawberries of the highest quality are picked from 4.00am and delivered by 11.00am to be eaten on the same day.

Delicious Sutton Hoo chicken, raised in Norfolk especially for The Championships, is accompanied by salt roasted Lincolnshire potatoes and freshly picked British salad leaves, which can be served either as a salad or in a wrap to go. CAFÉ PERGOLA (SOUTHERN GROUNDS) Assisted service lunch and afternoon tea, with hot carvery, light refreshments and a wine bar. Why not try some of our succulent slow cooked, ‘Best of British’ Blythburgh free range pork from Suffolk. THE BASELINE GRILL (SOUTHERN GROUNDS) Offers table service in a lively modern environment with juicy burgers, made with five cuts of Lancashire beef, grilled chicken, pasta dishes and salads. Alternatively try the Canadian lobster and crayfish roll followed by a delicious slice of chocolate fudge cake. EATING & DRINKING AT THE CHAMPIONSHIPS AFTERNOON TEA Using the freshest British ingredients, our classic reception sandwiches, Devon scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, selection of tea pastries, along with the Wimbledon favourite of strawberries and cream is perfect for that late afternoon treat; all served with a pot of English Breakfast tea or your favourite infusion. Fully served Afternoon Tea can be taken in the Courtside Restaurant or The Veranda after 3.30pm or, if you prefer, you can create your own at our self service Lounge in No.1 Court or The Terrace in Centre Court. There is no need to pre-book any of these restaurants for afternoon tea. The most quintessential English tradition, the afternoon tea was introduced to England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford in 1840. 37 years later, and this tradition was served at the first Championships in Worple Road. In 1907 Mrs Hillyard, who became a six time Champion, ate a ‘fearful’ tea when persistent rain stopped play: 2 Bath buns, 6 or 7 slices of bread and butter, 3 or 4 cups of tea, 6 or 7 biscuit cakes, 2 or 3 slices of other cake and 3 plates of strawberries. No sooner had she finished than the Referee requested her to play. She lost her semi-final match and complained bitterly to the Committee and the Daily Mail. FOOD & DRINK – ON THE GO With a wide range of quick serve food and drink outlets spread conveniently throughout the Grounds, you are never far away from a snack or something more substantial. Whether you choose traditional fish & chips, a tasty Mexican burrito, a delicious wrap, summer salad or indeed any of our other many options, these less formal choices give you the chance to find your own space in the Grounds, and enjoy The Championships at your own pace. If you fancy something a bit sweeter, there is also ice cream and Bon Bons which can also be found at one of our handy kiosks. 22 23 EATING & DRINKING AT THE CHAMPIONSHIPS QUICK GUIDE CENTRE COURT RESTAURANT Wingfield Restaurant – Table service luncheon and afternoon tea.

Re-admission with a debenture ticket is only available with an appropriate pass-out (which is non-transferable) and debenture ticket holders cannot transfer a debenture ticket if such ticket has already been used to obtain entry to the Grounds. The loss of tickets should be reported immediately to the Ticket Office (020 8971 2739). On verification, duplicates will be issued but must be collected from the Ticket Office in person by the debenture holder on the day. Duplicate tickets once requested take priority over the original tickets. Debenture holders who request duplicate tickets may be required to assist the AELTC in connection with the use or abuse of the original tickets issued. TICKET RESALE KIOSK We make every effort to ensure that seat tickets which are no longer needed are made available for resale to people already within the Grounds. Original ticket holders are requested to put their unwanted tickets in special red boxes for collection by the Honorary Stewards or, if they wish to retain them as souvenirs, to have the barcodes scanned on leaving the Grounds so that a new ticket may be generated. Please look after your tickets carefully as duplicate tickets, if arranged, will attract a charge of £12 per ticket where the originals have been safely received by the debenture holder but subsequently lost. The tickets are re-sold at a nominal charge from the Ticket Resale kiosk inside the Grounds. The entire proceeds will be donated via the Wimbledon Foundation to charities and community organisations. The Wimbledon Foundation is the charity of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and aims to change people’s lives using the resources and heritage of the Club and The Championships. HSBC, the Official Bank of The Championships, Wimbledon, has generously agreed to donate in 2016 a sum equal to the total amount raised by the ticket resale scheme (In 2015, the amount raised was £159,000 net of VAT). 26 27 THE TENNIS THE TENNIS GROUND OPENING & MATCHES The Grounds are open from 10.30am daily. • On Courts 2–19 play is provisionally scheduled to start at 11.30am for main draw matches on at least the first eight days and at 11.00am for Junior matches on the middle Saturday and during the second week. • On Centre Court play will start at 1.00pm except on the final two days when play will start at 2.00pm. • On No.1 Court play will start at 1.00pm on all days. • Please check the daily Order of Play. 28 • In the first week the early rounds of the Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Singles, Gentlemen’s, Ladies’ and Mixed Doubles will be played on all courts, with top seeds’ matches played on the Show Courts. • The AELTC reserves the right to change the programme without notice where it is reasonably necessary to do so. Note: Tickets are for the court specified on the date shown and entitle the holder to entrance to that court and not to viewing a particular match or round of matches. Matches may be moved from one court to another. 29 THE TENNIS THE TENNIS PROVISIONAL PROGRAMME OF PLAY CHANGES TO THE ORDER OF PLAY EARLIEST START DATES The following is only a guide and may change due to circumstances beyond the AELTC’s control, e.g. weather, player injury etc. DAYS 1–7 MONDAY Gentlemen’s & Ladies’ Singles WEDNESDAY Gentlemen’s & Ladies’ Doubles THURSDAY Mixed Doubles SATURDAY Boys’ & Girls’ Singles We do try to play all matches on the courts and days published. However, occasionally it is necessary to switch a match from one court to another. This can be for a number of reasons. For example: • We aim to complete The Championships on time and this involves playing 674 matches, in the 16 events, over the 13 days of the tournament. • Some players remain involved in several events towards the end of The Championships and it may be necessary to move a match to avoid a clash. • We try to give similar rest periods between matches for players due to play each other. DAYS 8–13 TUESDAY Ladies’ Singles QF Boys’ & Girls’ Doubles Invitation Doubles Centre & No.1 WEDNESDAY Gentlemen’s Singles QF Centre & No.1 THURSDAY Ladies’ Singles SF Championship Doubles SF Centre Court Centre or No.1 FRIDAY Gentlemen’s Singles SF Championship Doubles SF Wheelchair Doubles Centre Court Centre or No.1 SATURDAY Ladies’ Singles Final Gentlemen’s Doubles Final Ladies’ Doubles Final Centre Court Centre Court Centre Court SUNDAY Gentlemen’s Singles Final Mixed Doubles Final Centre Court Centre Court • A match which is unlikely to finish because of a late start caused by the duration of previous matches may be postponed to the following day. In this event, another match may be substituted. • We recognise that this may be frustrating for debenture holders and we apologise for the rare occasions when circumstances necessitate a change to the published Order of Play. We hope you will appreciate why such changes sometimes are made. QF = Quarter-Final, SF = Semi-Final 30 31 THE TENNIS THE TENNIS CANCELLATION OF PLAY DUE TO RAIN In the event of bad weather resulting in tennis being played for less than one hour, a refund will be paid to debenture holders of the face value ticket price for that day from £53 to £175 for Centre Court debenture holders and from £44 to £95 for No.1 Court debenture holders depending on the day. • If there is more than one hour’s play but less than two hours play, a refund will be made of half the relevant amount. • The refund will be paid out automatically 4 to 6 weeks after the last day of The Championships to all debenture holders who are entitled to a refund. • Cheques will be drawn, made payable to the registered debenture holder (as per the Debenture Register at the start of The Championships) and, in the case of joint holders, to the first named debenture holder. • Debenture holders who sell back tickets to the AELTC on the official market for any rained off day(s) will not be entitled to a refund. Debenture holders who buy additional tickets from us on the official market will, however, be entitled to the appropriate refund. • If play is arranged for any additional day(s), details will be published at the earliest opportunity on wimbledon.com and in the national press. • All debenture holders will be notified, under separate cover, of entrance procedures, should play be scheduled for any additional day(s). • The cancellation of play due to rain policy does not apply to tickets for any days other than the 13 scheduled days of The Championships. 32 33 TRAVELLING TO THE CHAMPIONSHIPS We would strongly recommend that you plan your journey in advance, taking into account that roads and public transport servicing The Championships will be heavily congested, and extra time may be needed to complete your journey.

Our afternoon tea includes the classic combination of finger sandwiches and Devon scones, accompanied by a fine selection of sweet pastries, and of course strawberries and cream. 50 51 THE COURTSIDE THE COURTSIDE ALBERT ROUX obe Albert Roux obe is simply one of the most influential and revered chefs in the world. Known as the ‘godfather of gastronomy’, Roux was responsible for opening the first Michelin starred restaurant in London, Le Gavroche, and for being the inspiration behind the Roux Scholarship, training top names in cuisine including Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsay and Marcus Wareing. We are extremely proud of our association with Albert Roux obe and are delighted that he has designed some signature dishes for our Courtside Restaurant menu at this year’s Championships. 52 53 THE COURTSIDE THE COURTSIDE TOM AIKENS Tom Aikens is one of the UK’s most acclaimed and inspirational chefs, owing to his innovative style and creative interpretation of modern French cuisine. After he left college Tom worked at Michelin Starred, David Cavalier’s restaurant in Battersea, leaving to work for Pierre Koffman’s La Tante Claire in Chelsea, which gained a third Michelin star during his time there. Tom also worked with Philip Britten at the Capital Hotel and as a sous chef at Pied à Terre in Charlotte Street, under Richard Neat. Tom gained further inspiration and invaluable knowledge in Paris, cooking with Jöel Robuchon, and Gerard Boyer at Reims. Tom returned to the UK as Head Chef of Pied à Terre, where, at 26, he became the youngest British chef ever awarded two Michelin stars. Here he stayed for five years. In 2003, Tom’s eponymous restaurant in Chelsea opened. The restaurant upheld culinary excellence in a refreshingly relaxed setting with friendly and knowledgeable service. The restaurant was awarded 1 Michelin star. Tom Aikens opened the brasserie-style Tom’s Kitchen in Chelsea in 2006. In conjunction with Compass Group, Tom also launched a second Tom’s Kitchen site at Somerset House including Tom’s Kitchen Terrace and Tom’s Kitchen Deli. In June 2013, Tom’s Kitchen, Deli and Bar opened in Canary Wharf and the restaurant group’s first International flagship opened in Istanbul November the same year. 54 55 THE COURTSIDE THE COURTSIDE BRYN WILLIAMS Hailing from Denbigh in North Wales, Bryn’s love for cooking began when he started working at his local bakery. Since that humble beginning, Bryn has worked in some of the most prestigious kitchens in London and with some of the world’s most stellar chefs. In 1997 he began work under Marco Pierre White at The Criterion, then went on to work under Michel Roux Jnr at Le Gavroche for 3 years, he became Senior-Sous at The Orrery and then moved to open Galvin at Windows with Chris Galvin, before opening Odette’s in Primrose Hill, London for Vince Power in 2006, and taking over as Chef Patron in 2008. Still Chef Patron of Odette’s, Bryn launched his own series on S4C, Cegin Bryn (Bryn’s Kitchen), and has cooked for the Queen’s birthday banquet as part of the Great British Menu. 56 57 THE COURTSIDE THE COURTSIDE MARTIN WISHART Martin trained under such renowned chefs as Albert Roux, Michel Roux Jr, Marco Pierre White, Nick Nairn, and John Burton-Race. Since opening his eponymous restaurant in Edinburgh’s Port of Leith in 1999, Martin Wishart has firmly established himself as one of the UK’s most highly respected chefs, currently holding a Michelin star in two restaurants. Following the success of his Edinburgh restaurant, Martin established a sister restaurant at Cameron House Hotel in Loch Lomond, which in turn received a Michelin star in 2011. His most recent venture is The Honours, a contemporary brasserie in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town. In addition, Martin heads up a highly-respected Cook School, located just a short distance from his Leith restaurant, coordinates private events under the Wishart’s Dining moniker and regularly contributes to the Glasgow Herald newspaper. 58 59 THE COURTSIDE THE COURTSIDE The Courtside Restaurant is our fine dining restaurant offering debenture holders a delicious three course luncheon menu and traditional Wimbledon afternoon tea.
