Been going through the lists to see who is still left.
Amelia Bissett, Esther Adeshina and Erin Richardson all moved up to the Progress Tour, so will be out of the British Tour
Sally Pethybridge and Annabel Davis are in the Progress Tour doubles, so I would think they are out of the British Tour as well
The next direct entry to the British Tour would be someone with a rating of 2.2, but in practice probably anyone availble to play, the way things are going !

But this tournament is saturday and sunday so won't most of the above have finished in the progress tour by saturday?
I was expecting this tournament to start on Thursday, as did the one last week, with the doubles on Sunday only.
Can't see them squeezing in two rounds of mens and womens singles on just the Saturday - that's 24 matches. Yes, they have plenty of courts, but even so.

Entry sheet says 18th and 19th, and it is tier 1...but it does seem tight

It is definitely sat and sun, two matches each day for those who win. The draw has been done, Amelia B has come out but others mentioned above all still in, but wouldn't surprise me if it changed before saturday.
Such is the wonder of the LTA site, I haven't managed to find the draw yet - no links on any of the many bookmarks I usually use
And I see the dates on the entry list now - should have spotted that myself.
Grace and Alicia D pretty unlucky to draw each other in the first round (of that kind of field). You'd think that could have been at least a semi final type of match.

There's no dubs in the Tier 1 events. Lauryn John-Baptiste was low in the list of alternates because of lack of British results. Should have been worth a wildcard. Hopefully she'll get in if she wants to.
