Wimbledon, towels?

Question

were do all the towells go after wimbledon.

Answer 1

I believe that they just give them to random people or the ball boys that held the towels so they could have a treat and a souvenir to remember their time at Wimbledon.

Answer 2

Someone told me the ball kids and linespeople get to keep one as a momento.

Quite a few finish up in athletes luggage.

You can buy them through the Wimbledon on line shop if you want one.  www.wimbledon.co.uk

Answer 3

They are in fact scrupulously collected from everybody, players and officials alike. They are laundered and put away for the following year.

Answer 4

Er, I have two at home, and one on the boat.

They just seem to attach themselves to you.

I cannot be bothered with pinching silly things from an hotel, but could not resist Wimbledon towels.

One, as it is the tennis fortnight of the year, adorns the bathroom, and another is a bit of a flag on the stern of the boat.
