Another Classic British Sporting Weekend Ahead – where are you going to be watching?

Well the Summer sporting season is heating up nicely and this weekend sees two of the major British sporting events on the calendar reach their exciting finale.

First up on Saturday afternoon is the British Grand Prix qualifying from Silverstone, Northamptonshire, with the race on Sunday.  Our fingers will be crossed for the 3 British Drivers, Jensen, Lewis and Paul this weekend and we will be glued to a TV screen with our fingers crossed. With wet weather predicted it promises to be unpredictable and exciting – although so far that would be a good summary of this topsy turvy season.

On Saturday afternoon there is the Ladies final at Wimbledon, London, with Serena William looking for yet another title.  And, of course, on Sunday afternoon its the Mens final with Roger Federer going for a record win.  At the time of writing Murray hasn’t started his semi final so we don’t know whether it will be him or Tsonga playing Federer, so fingers crossed.  If Murray should make it tot he final you can rest assured that Britain will be go crazy with excitement but if not, Tsonga will make it an entertaining match.

So lots to watch and with the weather looking suspect a weekend on the sofa may not be a bad way to go.  So where will you be tuning into watch it all from…. for us it will be on a caravan park!
