Wimbledon

Most famously famous for it Wombles, of course.

Apparently, some other stuff goes on here too:

My (Kim) dream to one day see Wimbledon, of course begins with the shop.

The famous Hill - many an aussie fan has taken over with inflatable kangaroos cheering Pat Cash, Pat Rafter and Lleyton Hewitt, apparently.

Outside Courts - otherwise known as champions graveyards.

All ready for 2006 Grand Slam - starts last week of June.

Press Interview room.

Court 1 - the second most important court at Wimbledon - they play a lot of the top matches of the championship on this court.

Centre Court - the most hallowed grass in the world. Even though Wimbledon Club is actively used all year around, centre court is only ever used for 2 weeks a year - just for the championship.

Let me have a game , please?

52,000 slazenger balls are used for the 2 week event.

Ladies Winners Cup.

The museum is crammed with history.

Mens Singles Trophies.

Old style wooden rackets.

New graphite rackets on a funny wheel thingo that goes around.
