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

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.
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
