BURLINGTON FIELDS –THE HOME OF FIRST CLASS TENNIS
Since 1979 Burlington Field has been one of the most important sporting e vents in the western world, attracting world class players and receiving media coverage from 120 countries around the globe. The festival runs over a fortnig ht, always the last 2 weeks in July, and draws huge crowds of visitors, hoping to enjoy the thrills of the tournament and the lively excitement of the crowde d bars and eating places. There is always the chance, especially if you keep y our wits about you, of rubbing shoulders, or even sharing a table, with a star of the tennis world!
The enormous complex covers over a square kilometre. There are 8 entran ce points from the spacious car parks and 2 from the rail station. A further en trance point is available to people arriving on the riverboats or by helicopter. The helicopter landing point has been very frequently used in the last 5 years.
Fifteen courts provide enough top class tennis for the appetites of the mos t demanding fans. With the exception of Champions' Court, which admits book ed-in-advance badgeholders only, visitors can move freely from one court to a nother and have access to all but the Members’ Restaurant. Such names as W inners' Gallery, the Ball and Racquet, the Seafood Bar and The Tie Break Bar (this last being really popular with younger enthusiasts) draw in the customers from the time the gates open at 1000 hours until the last match has been pl ayed around 2100.
All this movement of so many people inevitably brings its problems. An ar my of officials, waiters, security men etc is needed to ensure the smooth runn ing of the festival, and, as always there are occasions when matters go wrong. Recent festivals have seen significant increases in the number of counterfeit-t icket sellers, and pickpockets have created their share of misery, as bags and wallets have gone missing. There are signs warning people, but it seems ever yone can lose concentration for a few seconds –and that is all a thief needs!
The facts and figures below bear out what an immense and complex affair the festival has BECome:
In 1997 there were:
1,400 caterers representing 200 firms providing food and drink in over 80 outlets
330 guards and security men, controlling entrances and exits, patrolling cr owds and dealing with problems like lost children, people taken ill, and other difficulties
300 court officials, including 45 umpires who cover 2 matches a day, and teams of line judges
230 drivers, there for the exclusive use of players and officials coming to and from the festival. Drivers need a clean licence and, above all, a good kno
wledge of the area's streets and hotels.
Many other workers, from cleaners to programme sellers, make up this we ll-drilled army.
