Finals day with my Dad and one of Tuesday, Wednesday Or Thursday with my daughter if she can decide when she is coming down from Edinburgh.
But worried about the weather! Which is partly why she is prevaricating about her plans!
My daughter is coming back Tuesday evening and Im away on work in London on Tuesday, so its looking like Wednesday or Thursday now for us, largely going to decide based on the weather! May well be Thursday. With the forecast, most of the brits will still be around.
Ilkley has some indoor courts - 3 I believe, may be wrong - and could be called into action. When I used to play in the annual Ilkley Open, early August ( the British Tour week now), the indoor courts were used all the time as it rained incessantly. I think I saw Mike Appleton win the final indoors one season as they allowed spectators to sit around the edge of the court area on picnic chairs
