Wimbledon 2011 20th June - 3rd July

Wimbledon, the oldest tennis tournament in the world With summer rapidly approaching Infotel thought it would be a good idea to take a look at a very English traditional annual sporting event, which captures the world’s attention for two weeks of the British summer.

Wimbledon has been running since 1877, and is the only tennis tournament still played on its original surface grass, giving the game its name; lawn tennis.

Originally Wimbledon began as “The All England Croquet club.” During the tournament’s first edition, only 22 players took part in the only Men’s Singles competition. Two years later the Men’s Doubles competition was added and Singles Women’s

competition finally appeared in 1884.

No British man has won the men’s Singles event at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936 and no British woman has won the Ladies Singles since Virginia Wade in 1977. The Wimbledon championships take place for two weeks in late June and early July and start on the Monday falling between 20th and 26th June.

Wimbledon comes with a few of its own traditions, including: a strict dress code for competitors and the eating of strawberries and cream for the crowd.

For the first time in 2009 Centre Court was fitted with a rectractable roof to prevent rain from delaying final matches.

Wimbledon Grounds

Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum This state of the art museum was opened in 2006 and has been incredibly popular with Wimbledon spectators.

It features new technology that will immerse you into the world of tennis.

The museum features a 200° cinema screen that brings you right into the action of the science of tennis and features a film of the 2005 Championships on Centre Court.

The museum also features interactive touch screen consoles throughout with games, facts and interactive features such as the “Get a grip” rotating wheel of rackets to explore.

With the museum’s use of new technology you can receive a guided tour by John McEnroe through the more off limits areas

of Wimbledon such as the dressing rooms and see how the players prepared themselves for a match.

The museum holds a collection of over 15,000 objects associated with tennis, the collection began nearly 40 years ago and contains items dating back from the 1500s.

The Collection features a wide variety of objects from trophies and medals, fashion items, tennis equipment, jewellery, player memorabilia, decorative art, fine art, toys, olympic medals, programmes and advertisements from the 1930s.

Museum and Tour Prices Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum is open all yearround daily 10.00am - 5.00pm.

The Wimbledon Collection

The Museum is only open to ticket holders during The Championships and during the Centre Court Celebration.

Situated in the vale of Avoca, one of Ireland's most beautiful locations, Woodenbridge Hotel & Lodge combines all the charm of yester year with all the facilities required of the modern hotel.

Established in 1608, Woodenbridge Hotel is the oldest hotel in Ireland and has 22 well appointed bedrooms all ensuite and with complimentary Wireless internet access. The hotel overlooks the vale of Avoca and the amazing Woodenbridge Golf Club.

Woodenbridge Lodge is the more modern part of the hotel, and is adjacent to the main hotel in wonderful landscaped gardens overlooking the Aughrim River. The lodge rooms have all the facilities of the main hotel, but are away from the hustle and bustle. Twenty of the rooms have their very own balconies.

I stayed here for a long weekend recently and thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. I stayed in the lodge which is located just beside the main hotel. The room, although basic, was very comfortable with all of the facilities you would get in the main hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and responsive. The hotel recently celebrated 400 years and when you sit in the bar or restaurant, the history of the place is visible all around. This really adds to the experience of staying there. The food was really very good. I stayed on a DBB rate and had dinner in the restaurant on one of the nights. It was a fabulous meal...exceptional quality and service. I can say the same for the bar food....great range in the menu and the quality of the food was of the standard of the restaurant. The location of the hotel is ideal. It is approx 4mins drive from Avoca, and near enough to some of the Wicklow highlights - Meeting of the Waters, Avondale House and the like. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for exploring Wicklow county and its environs.

Hidden away in the back lanes of South Devon it is an oasis where self indulgent pleasure is actively encouraged. Despite the rambling quirky nature of the building our room overhanging the stream was spacious, light and airy. The garden and the lawns promote tea drinking, dozing and reading.

The engaging and affable nature of the proprietor made the stay a memorable delight.

Highly recommended.

The Hotel is situated a mere one and a half miles from Manchester City Centre to which Trafford Bar Metrolink Station offers regular speedy service. It has, unlike many City Centre Hotels, free on site parking. A short stroll to Manchester United or Lancashire County Cricket Club, the hotel is ideal for football, cricket, shopping, nightlife, and historical and cultural stays. Manchester International Airport, The Trafford Centre, Salford Quays, The Lowry Centre, The Imperial War Museum, GMex Exhibition Centre and MEN Arena are all close by.

For breakfast, we offer either Continental or Full English which can be booked online with your room.

The Retired & Crazy Epic Adventure Overland from London to New York

Amazing tales from Infotel Solutions CEO Xi’an Beijing

Ann Cordner Infotel Solutions Managing Director

On 27th March 2011 Ann Cordner began mounting the steps of a coach which is set to travel through Europe into Moscow. This is only the start of a three month adventure taking her through some of the most remote and beautiful areas of the world.

Described as her ‘epic adventure over land from London to New York’, the 87 day trip began on Sunday March 27th at Cleopatras Needle where she took her seat on the Oz Bus, a company dedicated to providing wonderful adventurous travel to destinations such as Australia, Beijing, Bangkok, Africa, South America and in Ann’s case - New York USA. But how and why would someone decide to do such a thing?

Ann explains; “The madness started when my friend mentioned that she knew a guy who was on an "Ozbus" trip and writing a blog. I read the blog, thought, ‘I could do that’ and then made the most stupid mistake of my life. I started telling people that I was going. Before I knew what was happening I had paid my deposit, met Nick (the blog writer), ordered a rucksack, arranged my vaccinations and committed myself to three months of craziness”.

Riga Rigour

This hostel is not good. No heating, dirty showers etc. But the people are very helpful and friendly.

This is one of the drawbacks of travelling this way. They don't even have a washing machine, but did offer to send our stuff to a laundry for us. A few of us decided to take a chance on this. It was a bit risky. If it didn’t come back we would be in no position to complain because tomorrow we set off for Tallinn. We needn’t have worried, it came back mid-afternoon beautifully laundered and pressed.

Pity we now have to stuff it all into our luggage!

This morning/afternoon we went on a tour of the old town which is virtually traffic free. When we started off it was freezing but by lunchtime it was beautifully sunny and warm Our guide, who spoke perfect English, told us that they had had a dreadful winter with snow up to 1m high in the city and because the country had suffered badly during the recession they didn’t have the resources to clear the snow.

Wednesday, April 6, 2011 - Latvia

Tallin in the snow

On the way to Tallinn we passed the Baltic Sea which was frozen. We had seen people ice fishing on some of the frozen rivers in Riga, but this is taking freezing to a whole new level. There's more snow in the fields now too and we have been told that it will probably be raining when we arrive. If we could expect some degree of comfort in the hostel it wouldn’t be too bad, but so far they have been of a poor standard.

The one in Riga was a massive barn of a place. You could see that at one time it might have been very grand, but now it’s in poor repair and very, very cold. For some reason the heating wasn’t on any they had provided completely inadequate electric radiators instead. To add to that everywhere in general was filthy, especially the bathrooms. Yuk! But, I guess the upside is that if the next hostel is slightly better it will feel like a palace. I guess it all adds to the general experience!

Thursday, April 7, 2011 - Latvia

Tallinn - Not the epicentre of the Epicurian world There has been a nasty virus doing the rounds. Pete started it by losing his voice, but we all put that down to carousing, now Margaret has gone down with it and she doesn’t carouse. She is very poorly and others have started off with the coughing. I’m going off to get some Sage tea in the hope hope that the Russian customs don’t mistake it for something a bit more energising!

Last night a group of us went to a medieval banquet restaurant. The food was great. I decided not to have the elk, bear or wild boar and opted instead for a spicy lamb dish with cinnamon beer to wash it down (what a wimp), but the food was great and it only cost 20 Euros. Not bad.

Friday 8th April, 2011 - Russia

Half way to paradise St. Petersburg is stunningly beautiful and the people are nothing like the border guards. They appear to be friendly and are even willing to smile without being concerned that they may be put into strait jackets. Last night we had a great meal in an Italian restaurant, now you wouldn’t expect that in Russia would you? Tonight we are going for a meal which incorporates a Russian concert. Sounds interesting!

Sunday 9th April, 2011 - Russia

Red Square

Arrived Moscow about 6 pm, checked into a very iffy hostel and took ourselves off to Red Square via the ATM which, thankfully, spewed out money. Tomorrow we board the Trans-Siberian Express at about 1.30 and there we stay for 4 nights out of WiFi range. We may get on-line in Lake Baikal or one of the other stop-offs along the way. In China we have no access to facebook either so we will all be having withdrawals.

Monday 12th April, 2011 - Russia

Day 17 of our 87 day trip - Trans - Siberian Express This is the morning that we go to the next phase of our journey - day 17 of our 87 day trip. The TransSiberian Express! Dadada!! To recap – we board the train at lunch time and spend the next 4 nights in a four person sleeper compartment. There are no showers and one toilet at either end of the carriage which can't be used when the train is standing in the station or when we are at a border crossing. There will a certain amount of pre-planning involved in getting this right! Each carriage has a babushka in attendance and it is probably sensible to befriend her because I guess that the power sockets to recharge our batteries are within her "gift".

The carriage can be locked from the inside but if we all go to the restaurant together the babushka will lock it for us. Another reason to keep her “on-side”.

Just a quick line to say thank you for the excellent service your company provides. Before I heard about you I used to spend countless hours on the Internet and telephone, trying to find suitable venues for various functions required within my company. Now however, one quick call does it all and an e-mail or fax confirms that everything is booked and sorted out. I tell anyone that I hear making bookings to ring you and will continue to recommend you to everyone I can.

Outdoor Connection Sally Clark

findmeaconference Team I was very impressed with the service I received from you, especially seeing right through to the end. I will definitely be speaking to you again, and will definitely recommend you to other colleagues and companies we use.

Fairbank Hotel Crantock, Cornwall We are a small family run hotel with fourteen individually named, ensuite bedrooms of differing types and sizes. Having researched in some depth for an online booking tool to suit our requirements – particularly being able to describe each of our rooms individually on a one-off fee basis as opposed to being charged commission on each booking – we finally settled with Infotel.

Their flexible system allows us to: · Individually describe each room · Show our discounted rates for varying lengths of stay · Set minimum night stays when or if applicable either short-term or long term · Vary the minimum night stays for differing periods such as weekends or bank holidays · Add special offers and/or any additional items that may be available · Receive an SMS text message in addition to an email for each booking received · Simple set-up and update of the availability calendar · Easy amendment facility to adjust availability for bookings dealt with direct as opposed to online · The ability to have the online booking page branded to match our existing website · Ready and helpful support from Infotel for simple queries and potential system enhancements · Excellent guest feedback (including from the ‘Hotel Inspector’ who recently stayed after booking online) regarding the ease of use ‘We would be at a loss without our online booking system through Infotel and wish that we had found and introduced their online booking tool much earlier!’

Thanks again for all your assistance and best regards

City Warehouse Apartments Manchester

Infotel has been a great find for our business. In terms of service, system use and value for money, they are way ahead of the other booking agents we use. Other, larger agents give us good levels of business, but the service is often poor, and the cost is high. The annual fee we paid to Infotel 5 months ago has given us a return of around 4800% so far in terms of business received, which is incredible. We have recently linked their system to our own website too, and as a result we are seeing this increase further. These guys are good and I can't recommend them highly enough!"
