  • Speech: NAAA 2018 Awards | January 2019
    It’s not where you start; it’s where you are going! Good is the enemy of great! Some key words which resonated in your theme – our route is excellence; destination is success! 2018 is now behind us! It was a building block year with the Commonwealth Games, the Youth Olympic Games and the Central American Games. Michelle Lee Ahye distinguished herself and was our 2018 Sportswoman of the Year. Jereem Richards, with courage and flair, captured the Sportsman of the Year award. Other athletes distinguished themselves this evening. Let’s recog- nise their achievements in 2018. But colleagues 2018 is over! This is 2019 – the beginning of a new year. We are 360 days away from a new decade - the 2020s. This must be our decade! It is time to reset! Reset dreams! Reset strategy! Recalibrate approaches for athletes for whom 2018 was unsatisfactory or merely average. Reset for coaches whose charges did not achieve their aspirations! Merely repeating the same training, nutritional habits and strategy will not yield improvement. Let 2019 be a time for vision and action! Vision without action is day dreaming. Action without vision is passing time. As Nelson Mandela said: “Vision with action is the foun- dation for greatness.” This evening, NGC stands here as a socially responsible corporate sponsor, partner and cham- pion of Trinidad and Tobago’s quest for track and field excellence.

  • 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.
