And … we’re back

As was probably obvious, our website was hacked. We have managed to remove the offending parts and have rebuilt it. Christie Marrian put in a lot of effort (with some help from me) to get the site back up and running.

The hacked website didn’t even fulfill what the hacker had intended: the spread of their virus progeny, as the changes to the website crashed it and brought it down. This means we probably were not targeted explicitly but were caught in the crossfire of a self-replicating virus that wasn’t quite as clever as it thought it was.

We have decided we need to tighten up on our security and our backup strategy so we can survive this sort of mishap more quickly in future; we are not able to guarantee we won’t suffer this sort of outage again, but we can hopefully make it less painful on us

CURTC visit Hardwick House

HHRTC 2, CURTC 3

HHRTC 2, CURTC 3

The Court at Hardwick is magnificent and well worth a visit. The Court managed to be cold and sweaty (which I didn’t fully understand) but it didn’t stop a fine day of tennis. And we won 3-2!
Many thanks to our generous hosts for a splendid lunch and we look forward to seeing them here next year. Of course, Keith and I had our cameras with us

40’s Knees-up

Clockwise from top left, Keith, Dave, Keith, Dave and Paul, Chris & Nick, Paul

Some fine knees (and braces) were on display in the 40’s Category Tournament that occurred during the website melt-down. Glad to say there were no further injuries to add to last year’s carnage and we all survived physically (if not mentally).
Both semis went to 5 all (and one to 40 all). Congratulations to Paul Brown (who needed the tie-breaker to squeak into the semis ahead of unlucky Nick) and Chris Schramm who will compete for an elbow brace and a place on the Honours Board on Finals day (sponsored by Hannay Robertson Financial Planning), March 12th.

Retro crockery fans, now’s your chance!

We’re planning on upgrading to crockery 2.0 in the club room, but what to do with all these old favourites? Any fans of retro crockery are welcome to collect a souvenir or two from the two tubs of rejected – sorry, previously loved – crocks and assorted stray tupperware which are under the table by the dishwasher.  Anything left by Sunday Feb 7th will be removed and disposed of.Crocks
