FOREWORD At a meeting of the G.P.C on November 1st 2006, it was proposed that a history of the Association in booklet form be produced for the centenary year 2011. It was suggested that Assistant Secretary Malcolm Cinna should administer this project. In his reply Cinna agreed to oversee the project but was unwilling to write the history himself. Past Association President Tony Paulley of Harrow B.C. approached a fellow club member, Mike Rosenthal, who agreed to write the history as he had al- ready had undertaken a similar project when compiling the history of Harrow Bowls Club for their centenary in 2002. Having found an author for the project, Cinna, in January 2007, formed a small working party com- prising himself, Tony Paulley and Mike Rosenthal. All the administration for the project would be supervised by Cinna, acting as a link between the Association members and the author, providing him with information gathered from all affiliated clubs. Paulley would write biographies of notable former and present Middlesex bowlers as well as supplying the author with additional information gathered during his Presidential year in 2008. It was initially agreed that the booklet, as well as including the story of the development of the Asso- ciation, should also include a brief history of all clubs currently affiliated to the Association together with images of their club badges. One of the tasks undertaken by Malcolm Cinna was to contact each club requesting relevant information. This request was initially posted on the Association‟s web site. In the event, this task turned out to be more difficult than it first appeared. Many clubs repeated- ly ignored his phone calls, emails and letters and consequently there are gaps in the information published for some clubs. Many clubs had lost all the documents relating to their early history and could only provide brief details of the current state of their club. With dogged determination Malcolm eventually managed to get some information from all 112 affiliated clubs and must be congratulated for his persistence. Most of the information for the history was provided by current Association secretary, Don Dorling. Stored in his garage was much of the early history of the Association, including minute books (notably Minute Book No.1), Year Books, scrap books of the first 27 years of the Association and photograph albums. Other members provided some Year Books for the last 40 years. The majority of clubs provided brief histories and club badges. The scrap books, compiled by ex-secretary Harry Thompson, turned out to be the most valuable source of information for the early years of the Associ- ation. It is interesting to note that almost all the information for the years after 1938 came from the Year Books and minutes. The minutes, though factually useful, lacked the personal details that the scrap books gave to those early years. Many other members (whose names appear in the acknowledgements at the end of this booklet) provided valuable anecdotal and documentary information and without their input, this history would have been a much less interesting document. On the 12th October 2010, Malcolm Cinna passed away after a gallant struggle with cancer. Malcolm was determined to see the publication of this document and was working on this project right up to the end. It is tragic that he was not present to witness the launch of the publication. Born on 13th November 1928, Malcolm ran a dry cleaning business for 30 years. On retirement he took up bowls and in 1991 joined Stanmore B.C. and was a lifetime

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • News Update for London's Museums
    @LondonMusDev E-update for London’s Museums – 09 November 2020 The 4 week long national lockdown began on Thursday 05 November, meaning museums and galleries should now be closed in line with government guidance until at least Wednesday 02 December. It has been announced that some heritage locations can still be visited if they are outside – provided current social distancing rules are observed. You can find further information about that on the Gov.uk website. You can get an overview of all of the new national restrictions on the gov.uk website. We strongly advise that you continue to follow the news and government announcements, as they happen, over the coming days and weeks. Last week the government announced further extensions to the furlough scheme, to March 2021. The government will extend furlough payments at the original 80%, up to a maximum of £2,500 per employee. Employers will only need to cover pension and National Insurance contributions during the month of November, but can top up the remaining 20% of their staff salaries if they wish. To be eligible for this extension, employees must have been on the payroll by 30 October 2020, but they do not need to have been furloughed before that date. Workers who were made redundant in advance of the planned end of the furlough scheme on 31 October can be rehired under the current furlough extension. The relevant section is 2.4 in the policy paper which can be found here. The government has also announced that businesses required to close in England due to local or national restrictions will be eligible for Business Grants of up to £3,000 per month, dependent on their rateable value.
