[edit] RUCC website
The RUCC website (www.rucc.co.uk) was set up in June 2000. It is looked after by several people who are members or past members of the club. The website was originally hosted on the university servers before the rucc.co.uk domain was purchased and then spent a couple of years being hosted in student accommodation. Currently the website is hosted commercially.
