Members will be very sad to learn that Adam Phillips has passed away. Adam grew up in Cambridge and started his apprenticeship at CURTC under Brian Church; longstanding members fondly remember his kindness, even from those early days. Adam went on to work at Canford, where he met a young Peter Paterson, then on to Hatfield and Lord’s. Many Blues teams will no doubt remember Adam’s encouragement and good humour when marking at the Varsity Match. I was delighted when he agreed to return to Cambridge in August 2020 after a long 33-year absence and he seemed thrilled to be back home.

Adam was a much-loved member of our Professional team and we will miss him.

Vix, CURTC President
