The strongest qualifying line-up for a GB Future for a while, probably because it's so close to London and held at what looks like rather a nice venue.

I'm a bit surprised to see e.g. Morgan Phillips not get MD WCs here - since it looks like putting up the WCs for Ilkley at http://www.lta.org.uk/Competition/Resources/?c=comp-wildcard was the exception rather than the rule (even though it says at one of the other links on that page that putting them up on Friday is the 'rule'), I don't know for sure who's got them, but Jamie Baker is the only Brit in the top 1000 who was on the Alt list but isn't playing in qualifying, so I assume he got one.

Broady maybe, i think Oliver has European juniors this week

I plan to be there for three days starting from tomorrow and am going to attempt to update scores using twitter, hopefully with a bit more success than some of the US Challengers.

If all goes to plan then www.twitter.com/ottenshawscores should have some scores throughout the day.

unfortunately Sheddie, that means Josh is following Laura...
