31st Dec '03 | Website down | by mcp |
Our website (and the CUCBC site which runs through the same machine) has been down since 1am last night when the computer's power supply broke down. Sorry for any inconvenience! Up and running properly again now. (Thanks to the porters for letting Dan Walker and I in to sort it out...) | ||
19th Dec '03 | Bumps Charts | by ipe |
The website should now have complete bumps charts, for Lents and Mays, going back to 1992. These may be found in the Results section. This also means the statistics on the section on Cambridge Clubs should now all be accurate, as they are all generated from the same results database. (4 replies...) | ||
16th Oct '03 | Website Update | by IPE |
Finally, I've completed a new section on college and town clubs in Cambridge. This has bumps stats, pictures and other information on all the colleges and most of the town clubs. The Mays data will be unreliable until the results database is fully updated, which should soon be the case. Also, I would like to appeal for information/anecdotes/random abuse that you think should be included for each of the colleges. Hopefully the section can continue to develop for some time. Furthermore, I've put online the Guide to Coxing recently written by Andrew Fisher. There are also lots of minor alterations to out-of-date pages, hopefully everything is now up-to-date. Please let me know if there are any errors or dead links anywhere. (2 replies...) | ||
2nd Oct '03 | Pictures | by mcp |
A load of old pictures have been added to the gallery - have uploaded half of the 2002 May Bumps JET photographic photos. These are pictures that have not been on the website before. (Better late than never.) Pictures of lower crews will be added once I've found out crew lists for them. I've also started some of the preliminary work required to import the old gallery photos into the new system - so there is a good chance this will start happening sometime in the fairly near future.

24th Sep '03 | Update | by mcp |
Am fixing an issue involving official crew lists... whilst I do this, aspects of the results & crews sections will most likely stop working temporarily and no one will be able to update the site with any results or crews. Apologies for any inconvenience! (1 reply...) | ||
23rd Sep '03 | History of First Trinity | by mcp |
In 1908, Walter William Rouse Ball, a mathematics lecturer and fellow of Trinity College, compiled a short history of First Trinity Boat Club. Both the Trinity College Library and the University Library hold copies. I looked it up when researching the club's crest and having found it interesting thought it might be nice to have it online. And so here it is (in the Club->History section). I realise not everyone will find themselves inclined to read it, but there are at least a few comedy stories worth looking up - e.g. the 4th VIII's exploits 1850-57. The top of page contents summary is something I have added - suggestions for improvement would be welcomed, as would typing mistakes. The book's final chapter contains data and crew lists for the winners of various races; this will be appended in due course. (2 replies...) | ||
24th Jun '03 | New credits | by mcp |
In preparation for handing over day to day running to Ian over the next few weeks, there is a new site credits page ;-) It's actually quite cool - found bits of the 1997 website that are still here word for word. There is also an 80 (!) long list of the members who have written race reports or submitted pictures so far... | ||
19th Jun '03 | 2nd May VIII Song | by mjb |
The widely-acclaimed rip-off of Pulp's "Common People," as performed by the 2nd May VIII at the 2003 Mays' Dinner, has been transferred to a web-friendly interface and has been added to the 'songs' page in the club traditions section of the website. You can go here to view the masterpiece and download the cheesy midi backing track. | ||
16th Jun '03 | One minute gun | by mcp |
Ever seen one of the starting cannons firing? If not - now's your chance. I've put up a little video clip of the one minute gun... (There is also a little link to it from within the bumps section.) I think that sometimes, particularly for the start when it's wet, he fires two or even the three at once, to allow for mis-fires. However, for the four minute and one minute guns the usual thing seems to be to use just one. On the soundtrack you can also hear the Senior Umpire, Pete Convey - taken aback by the sound of it even after all these years! ;-) | ||
12th Jun '03 | New Photo Gallery | by mcp |
After a sad absence for the last year, we have a new photo gallery. :-) There is still a lot to do to bring over the archive of old pictures into it, but hopefully it will do the business for the Mays! Any problems or suggestions gratefully received, particularly since it and the members' photo upload page have been put together just since last Sat; there are, no doubt, all kinds of things which don't work! Ta! (6 replies...) |
