Anyone for tennis?

Has all this talk of tennis, marathon matches and Andy Murray bowing to the Queen, given you a taste for Wimbledon? It has for me. I love watching it on TV (have you ever tried listening to the radio commentary whilst also watching the TV - fantastic!) but now my boys are asking me if we can go to Henman Hill and be part of the atmosphere.

Well, I've been to Wimbledon several times but only ever as someone's guest. I have no idea how anyone gets tickets, how you queue or anything.

So this week, as part of our Weekend Warmup, I thought I'd find out - from Tim Henman's uncle no less, Tony Billington, who lives in Woolhampton, in West Berkshire. He's a mean tennis player himself and says the whole extended Henman family are all good players, with another generation up and coming.

His tips for getting into Wimbledon: apply for tickets in the annual ballot, but that won't open until August, for NEXT YEAR. This year, you could still get in if you're prepared to queue. Tony said that you have to join the queue at least three hours before opening time at 10am. Every day, 500 tickets are saved for the queue, for the Centre Court and Courts 1 and 2. Tony says that yesterday, everyone in the queue got into the show courts. And if you don't get a show court ticket, just an admission, you can take a packed lunch with you to Henman Hill which is inside the grounds. So good luck, and get there early!

Also on the Weekend Warmup - what's on in the arts? Here are the tips from John Luther, of South Street Arts in Reading:

• Eric's Tales of the Sea - 8pm this Saturday, at Norden Farm in Maidenhead
• Cara Dillon, one of folk music's greatest names, 7.30pm, also at Norden Farm
• Newbury-based duo Plested and Brown with "The Perfect Wife Roadshow", Tuesday 29th, 8pm at South Street in Reading
• And if you're booking ahead, there are some really great acts in the Newbury Comedy Festival coming up between 8-29 July

What about movies? This weekend watch out for "Whatever Works", "Shrek Forever After" and "Good Hair" (all at local cinemas except for the last one which is currently only showing in Oxford - but hopefully coming to the Regal Cinema in Henley soon).

Now, just take a long hard look at this wonderful picture of a five month old foetus, alive and healthy in the womb. And then consider whether or not pregnant women should all be given a breath test to find out if they're really smoking, even if they say they're not.

My guests, Reading pastor Yinka Oyekan and Reading author and journalist Roisin McAuley, were divided on whether this is a good idea. I can't make my mind up either. I know how harmful it is for the unborn child if mum smokes. And nowadays, in the field of cot death, we are still losing about 300 babies every year, with the overwhelming majority of those deaths happening in smoking households. The experts I know are convinced that if we could stop more mums and dads smoking, we could almost eradicate cot death - so strong is the link between smoking and cot death in this country!

However, I worry that it just isn't realistic. Many mums can't or won't give up smoking because of so many other complex reasons. So often they're single mums, desperately poverty stricken, living isolated lives in the top of decrepit high-rises with nothing but ciggies to keep them going. Demanding they give up may be unrealistic. Threatening them with a breathalyser may just put them off going for ante natal help at all.
