Behind the Scenes at Centre Court: Wimbledon Stories by Alan Chalmers

For almost 40 years, Alan Chalmers was a mainstay of tennis at Wimbledon as Centre Court head steward and VIP security. Oh the stories! Alan has a whole series of possible talks which star with an introduction to the All England Club at Wimbledon but are then focussed on the tennis personalities of different eras from his period of tenure on centre court. We might hear about the 1976 to 1986 era (Borg, McEnroe, Nastase, Connors, Becker, Lendl, Evert, Navratilova, Wade, Stove, Mandlikova, Cawley), or perhaps 1990 to 2000 (Agassi, Sampras, Courier, Ivanisevic, Edberg, Graf, Sabatini, Arantxa, Hingis). Then there's always 2001 to 2015 (Federer, Hewitt, Nadal, Murray, Djokovic, Serena & Venus Williams, Sharapova, Henin, Bartoli). Which would you prefer to hear about? Let us know with a message via our website so Alan can focus on the period most favoured by our followers. Like all TalksAtSix entry is free but we collect donations which go 100% to the charity selected by the speaker - in Alan's case that's Midhust Macmillan.
