Proposals for Wimbledon Ticket Allocation 2008

Last year I organised the Wimbledon Ticket ballot and it was a lot of work (made worse when I subsequently had to give up my Men's Semi-Final Tickets!)

This year I want to make a proposal which will massively reduce the administration and encourage tennis members to get together for a bit of a social. Here's the idea:-

The application to enter the ballot for tickets, the ballot itself, payment and ticket distribution will all take place one the same evening. Additionally I suggest that tickets in the first instance will only be allocated to members who are present!! Controversial I know but if the date is advertised well in advance (i.e. 6 weeks) to insist that at least one of any pair of members turns up is not too much to ask.

Anyway, there's a POLL on the right so please let us have your opinion!
