Heading for England in June? Why not book some tickets for Royal Ascot. It may be one of the biggest racing events of the British social season but you don't have to be a nob to attend. It's scheduled for June 17 to 21 this year. The Queen attends, the ladies' hats on Thursday are worth writing home about and it's a grand English day out. And, best of all, if you're fast, you could bag a discount ticket. Until May 1, general admission and Silver Ring tickets are 1/3 off for the June 17, 18 and 21 racing days.
