As part of the Club’s increasingly successful youth
development programme, there will be further courses during
the Summer holidays. These sessions, organised for different
age groups, will be run on four consecutive days during 21-24
July and 28-31 July. There will be an all-inclusive charge
of just £20 per child for each 4 day course (payable
by cheque to CURTC). Spectators will be welcome.
If you have any questions or would like to book one or more
places please do not hesitate to
ring 01223 357106 and ask
for Kees, Peter or Scott. These courses really are great chances
to become involved in the king of racquet sports – real tennis.
The Cambridge University Real Tennis Club is one of the world’s
foremost – with two fine courts. The Club is represented by
the undisputed world champion Rob Fahey, British amateur champion
David Woodman and two women in the World’s top ten, Sarah
Vigrass and Karen Hird. The three professionals, Kees, Peter
and Scott are all enthusiastic and well respected coaches.

Starts 9 July
1. Given the widespread feeling that as a club we play insufficient
doubles, we are organising a Continuous Doubles Tournament
that will run from 9th July throughout the summer months finishing
on 15th September 2008.
2. Our aim is to give people a chance to play more doubles,
allowing for holidays and other commitments, be on court with
a variety of other members. And Have Fun!
3. The Competition will consist of matches played in 2-hour
sessions, each session accommodating 4 people. Each member
plays a normal set (to 6) with each of the other players –
i.e. total is 3 sets in 2 hours.
4. Taken over the entire period, each player will compete
as an individual, but the format will allow him or her to
play as much or as infrequently as desired, with a multitude
of different players of diverse playing standards within specified
handicap categories.
5. The Pros will add a series of pre-booked slots onto the
Booking System on evenings, daytimes and weekends, and will
add additional sessions in response to specific requests or
general demand. Members merely need to add their names in
the normal way to a slot which covers his or her handicap.
(The 4th player will need to add him/herself to the second
1-hour slot). The Pros will endeavour to fill up any vacant
slots.
6. The membership is divided into 4 Categories of player
(as determined by singles handicap). The handicap ranges overlap,
which should allow most participants to play in more than
one Category.
- 20-45 (80 members)
- 35-50 (81)
- 45-60 (108)
- 55-70 (98)
7. Matches are to be played on handicap as stated on the
noticeboard next to the draw not the list that is usually
used. Handicaps will be set for the entire course of the tournament
and only changed by the Tournament Organisers. Score sheets
will be provided by the pros.
8. There will be several categories of winners, but to be
eligible a minimum of 3 sessions must have been played:
- best ratio of games won/ matches played
- most matches played
Prizes will be awarded at the end of the tournament.
