Honorary Freemen of the City Pdf 87 Kb
Report of the City Solicitor to the meeting of the full Council to be held on Tuesday 14 January 2020 L Subject: HONORARY FREEMEN OF THE CITY Summary statement: The subject of this report is the legal framework for admission to the Roll of Honorary Freemen of the City Parveen Akhtar City Solicitor Phone: 01274 433696 E-mail: [email protected] 1 SUMMARY On July 14th 2019 the England Men’s cricket squad scooped victory at the Cricket World Cup final. The final and dramatic match was watched by billions across the world. Huge numbers of cricket fans across the Bradford District were also glued to the media coverage, not least because of the involvement of two Bradfordians, Jonny Bairstow and Adil Rashid in the victory. This report proposes that Jonny Bairstow and Adil Rashid be admitted to “The Roll of Honorary Freemen of the City”. This honour would recognise their outstanding contribution on the field of cricket but also their work to inspire generations of sports men and women, and their connection to this City. 2 BACKGROUND 2.1 The ‘Roll of Honorary Freemen of the City” was created in the late nineteenth century. The first name admitted to the roll was that of Sir Henry Mitchell, a former Lord Mayor, philanthropist and mill owner. Since that time other famous Bradfordians such as J.B. Priestley, Barbara Castle and David Hockney have been admitted to the roll. 2.2 The criteria for admission to the roll are that the person should have demonstrated distinguished and recent service, or made a significant beneficial and noteworthy contribution to the District or secured significant benefit to the District. -

We have been deprived of the cricket we would normally read about in the July edition. Two things came to the rescue. The first has nothing to do with ‘lockdown’. It lies in the fact that this year sees the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Southern Group, so we have taken the chance to reflect on this. The second, and less expected factor influencing this issue, however, is probably directly related to lockdown. -

Amongst the damage suffered, that experienced by the Southern Group is insignificant by comparison with that by the game as a whole, which in turn occupies a very small part in the overall national and international picture. Yet damaging it has most certainly been, as June Hirst’s report on Events makes clear. At this stage there is little to be added except to say that we can only hope to see one another again at cricket grounds in 2021, in the context of a country and world emerging from the crisis. Stop press: as we go to print the news has been made public that there has been a positive covid19 test amongst the Yorkshire squad. -
Selby Cricket Club History 1867-2017
Selby Cricket Club Selby Cricket Club History 1867-2017 In the late 1860’s three important events in the history of cricket took place. Yorkshire CC was founded in 1863, WG Grace made his debut in 1865 and Selby Londesborough CC was formed in 1867. Playing on a field owned by the clubs first president, the Earl of Londesborough and sited a short distance from the town’s famous landmark the Benedictine Abbey. The club moved to the present ground at Sandhill Lane in 1936, being members of the now defunct West Riding League. In 1965 the 1st XI looked to expand the membership and joined the York and District League and in 1968 the 2 nd XI were also accepted. By the mid 1980’s with a further increase in membership a 3 rd XI and 4 th XI were formed to play in the York Vale League. To accommodate the extra fixtures a 2 nd playing area on an adjacent field was created but more importantly in 1983 a new brick pavilion able to accommodate the requirements of playing 2 matches simultaneously was built. In 1998 the members decided to remove Londesborough from the club title. Since the 1970’s Selby cricket club has played host to many well- known cricket XI’s, the MCC, Yorkshire Gentlemen and a Yorkshire/Derbyshire XI through the avenue of benefit matches. The following being a selection of Test Players who entertained at Sandhill Lane :- John Hampshire, Richard Lumb, Geoff Cope, Bob Taylor, Devon Malcolm, Ian Bishop, Dominic Cork, Geoffrey Boycott, David Bairstow, Chris Old, Kim Barnett - not a bad team! Following the demise of cricket in schools the club has over the years placed much emphasis on Junior Coaching and the promotion of junior cricket culminating in the club achieving 4 awards for our work in this field. -

Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Friday 19
CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION FRIDAY 19th MARCH 2021 Part of Lot 344 CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 19th MARCH 2021 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. -
342 – February 2015
THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 342 – FEBRUARY 2015 MEETINGS WEDNESDAY 4th FEBRUARY 2015-Meeting The Society is very pleased to welcome ANTHONY GIBSON to this evening’s meeting. He has been involved in cricket all his life, as player, scorer, commentator and award-winning author. His book Of Dicot and the Demon, which celebrated the life and cricketing works of his father, Alan Gibson, was adjudged the MCC/Cricket Society’s Book of the Year in 2010. With Stephen Chalke, he co-authored Gentlemen, Gypsies and Jesters, a delightful journey through the sometimes eccentric world of wandering club cricket. He also wrote With Magic In My Eyes, a literary pilgrimage around the West Country, which explored the relationships between the region’s authors and the landscapes that inspired them. WEDNESDAY 12th NOVEMBER 2014 The Society’s first afternoon meeting, at Test Valley Golf Club, proved a great success with the most number of attendees since October 2013. Derek Andrew’s talk was full of entertaining stories as he gave a privileged first-hand account of life in the BBC Television commentary box, and recalling incidents from Hampshire’s history in the 1970s and 80s. How many would be able to recall that, when Sunday play was piloted in championship cricket in 1967, entry was free? Counties were not allowed to charge. The John Player League also took the game to such outposts as Street in Somerset. Another snippet was an experiment with orange balls in the knockout stages of the Refuge Assurance League in 1989. -
Undercliffe Cc Established 1875
UNDERCLIFFE CC ESTABLISHED 1875 Early Days In The Bradford League When you turn into Intake Road, right in the middle of Undercliffe, and into the unpretentious gate to the club, you enter an oasis of green space and tranquillity that has been a centrepiece of the area for a very long time. The club joined the Bradford League when it first started in 1903, and seems to have had a thriving membership, both cricket and social, ever since. In the 106 years since then, the cricket at Undercliffe has entertained thousands of people who have followed the club’s fluctuating successes and failures. In that time, the club has won the first team championship eight times and the Priestley Cup thirteen times, and the second team championship 27 times. Even so, our start in the Bradford League was not particularly spectacular, finishing a modest ninth in the first season. Great Horton were the big team in this first decade, and were our bogey team. On one occasion in 1904, they skittled us for 27. The fans must have been very disappointed. However, we got revenge in 1905 when we skittled them for 28. Honours even! Obviously, wickets favoured bowlers in those days, and runs were often hard to come by. In one match, Undercliffe were all out for 48, but still beat Lidget Green by 15 runs. In another, we dismissed Shelf for just 16. This highlights T. E. Wright’s achievement in becoming our first centurion, scoring 107 not out against Dudley Hill in 1905. By 1907, Undercliffe was becoming a club to be reckoned with. -
The Hampshire Cricket Society
THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 325 – MARCH 2013 Wednesday 6 March 2013 - Meeting The Society extends a very warm welcome to Cally Barlow, wife of the late Eddie Barlow, the great South African Test cricketer. Longstanding members will recall Eddie Barlow’s passionate talk on South Africa’s isolationism at the Society’s meeting in September 1986. Cally Barlow’s address will be preceded by the Society’s AGM. Wednesday 6 February 2013 – Report Those who braved a very cold night were rewarded by another excellent evening in the company of David Allen. David spoke about three forthcoming anniversaries: the 150th anniversary of the formation of Hampshire County Cricket Club on 11 September this year; the 50th anniversary of one-day county cricket (introduced in 1963) and the 40th anniversary of Hampshire’s second Championship title in 1973. He also touched upon the 1963 West Indians who toured the UK under their first black captain, Frank Worrell. David also brought along the bat with which E G Wynyard scored 268 against Yorkshire at Southampton in 1896 and a silk scorecard of the match. He also passed around another silk scorecard of the Poore/Wynyard partnership of 411 against Somerset at Taunton in 1899. There was also a poster of an early match between a local side and the United England XI at Portsmouth in the mid-18th century and a scorecard of James Aylward’s monumental 167 at Sevenoaks in the Hambledon era. There was much else besides and members spent much time talking to David and examining the artefacts on display after his talk. -

Nominated for the Cricket Writers' Club Book of the Year Award
Nominated for the Cricket Writers’ Club Book of the Year award “Chronicles the county’s fall from grace after winning seven County Championships between 1959 and 1968 – and the bitter divisions it caused. The book interviews former players, committeemen, supporters and opponents including Boycott and Durham bowling coach Alan Walker, who ran him out during his final innings, in 1986.” – GazetteLive.co.uk “The story of a ‘civil war’ at one of England’s most illustrious cricketing counties has been told in a regional daily journalist’s new book. Many of the former players, supporters and committeemen Stuart approached for interviews were reluctant, not wanting to rake up the past. Fortunately some, including Boycott himself, were more willing.” – HoldTheFrontPage.co.uk “The story of how Yorkshire ripped itself apart between 1968 and 1986. The book ends in 1986 because so did Geoffrey Boycott’s career – with a run-out at the Scarborough Cricket Festival that left him eight short of 1,000 First-Class runs for a 24th consecutive season. Whether he liked it or not, Boycott was invariably at the centre of Yorkshire cricket’s civil war.” – TheNorthernEcho.co.uk “For a glimpse of Yorkshire’s old methods of breaking in a player, it’s worth looking at Stuart Rayner’s excellent new book The War of the White Roses.” – Simon Briggs, Sunday Telegraph “Fifteen from ‘16 – the best cricket books of the year. Yorkshire were a shambles in the 1980s, more of a debating society than a cricket club, as an enraged captain of that era, David Bairstow, once observed. -
