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.
Not the Result We Were Hoping For…
…but some high quality tennis (and lunch, many thanks to Sue & Duncan) was enjoyed by a full Dedans & Club Room in a great atmosphere as CURTC agonizingly fell short 2-3 against the MCC in the Pol Roger Trophy Semi-Final.

Pol Roger Trophy (vs MCC) on Sunday (January 31st)
Some excellent tennis is in store for this coming Sunday as MCC (including possibly 3 ex-Cambridge Captains) visit in the Pol Roger Trophy. CURTC will be represented by some of it’s top players so there will be more than just a place in the Semi-Finals at stake. It all starts at 11am (unless you count the warm-up act, the ‘Hang-over Doubles Crew’ who will be doing their stuff at 9:30am).
We’ve persuaded our crack CURTC catering team to include a few extra lunches for CURTC members at the usual inter Club match rate. There are a few places left so sign-up if you want some lunch while cheering on the good guys of CURTC….
The Busy Time of Year is Upon Us

CURTC vs HHTC, January 10th, 2016
Basking in the glow of a well earned victory…
Ed and Jamie conquer the world (….of under 24 real tennis players)
Last weekend Ed Kay and Jamie Giddins won the under 24 open doubles at Middlesex University, beating Leon Smart and Neil Mackenzie 6-3 6-3. Having previously struggled past dangerous fresher Matt Shaw and his partner Rob Shenkman 6-3 0-6 6-1 in the semis, they produced an imperious performance to add their names to a trophy previously won by legends such as Fahey & Wood and Sayers & Riviere.
In the singles Ed Kay narrowly lost in the final to Boston pro Leon Smart 6-4 6-5.
Comrade Weller Proves Unstoppable
Sasha Borodin presents Gary Weller with the Consumables
Many thanks to Scott and Peter for handicapping and, particularly Peter for his Trophy arrangement. Frankly it was pretty exhausting but all 9 of us made it through to the end fortified by fish pie and chocolate cake. So, Congratulations, Gary, and many thanks for saving me from having to explain how the results would have had to be adjusted if you had not been such a clear winner!
