I was thinking of going up to Nottingham for the W35 this week but with Sonay Marni and Katy Dunne withdrawing it seems quite a weak showing from the British players.
Why would Brogan,Appleton, silva etc not want to enter this?

Although you say Wimbledon is out, Wimbledon qualifying is pretty organised now. £15 a ticket but not on sale yet.
I tend to go to Surbiton. Qualifying on Sunday is free and ground passes are probably still available for Monday to Thursday. For the Midlands, the obvious one is Ilkley but I dont how close it is to a train station. Standard at Surbiton will be below Eastbourne / Wimbledon / Nottingham but there's a lot of up and coming talent at that event and some top people - last year had Dan Evans and Andy Murray, Heather Watson and others.

If you are in the midlands(as I am), Ilkley is 2 and a half hours away. A good deal nearer are Birmingham, Shrewsbury and Nottingham. The only one I know is Birmingham, suggest taxi from main station as it's less than 2 miles.

I'm wondering about trying to get a ticket from Wimbledon qualifying, once they become available. Website says photographic id will be needed in addition to ticket. It's not very helpful, in that it says "including passport, driving licence"... I have neither, but my freedom pass was acceptable for voting recently - does anyone know if it would satisfy Wimbledon? Thanks.

I can't swear to this but, honestly, I've been every year to Wimbly qualis and they've never been ultra strict about this sort of stuff.

I don't remember showing ID but I usually only show a credit card so, if asked, that's probably what I did then too

(and I know that doesn't have a photo......)

I'd have thought your freedom pass would be fine

Print out - or save - the site that says a freedom pass is sufficient ID for voting and show them that if they ask - if it's good enough to vote, it's good enough for anything else
