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. I have received more offerings for publication than ever before, indeed some have had to be held over for the next issue. The contributions include articles about both matches and books, the latter clearly inspired by June Hirst’s piece in the April newsletter. This is a welcome development. No doubt it reflects the extra time that many of us have on our hands, but it would be excellent if it was one aspect of life under the current conditions which survives when they are at last, over. I am absorbing, along with other members, the news of Tim Bresnan’s departure from Yorkshire CCC to join Warwickshire. He has, admirably, suggested that he is keen to see today’s youngsters given the sort of opportunities he enjoyed as a teenager. Of course we wish him luck against all opposition save Yorkshire. As Chairman I have written to him passing on the best wishes of the SG as a whole and thanks for the huge contribution he made to Yorkshire cricket. My own most lasting memory, like many others’, will be of his innings at Lord’s in 2016, which might, with a different outcome in the match have been a candidate for the greatest innings ever played for the county. 3 THE 2020 CRICKET SEASON AND CORONAVIRUS June Hirst It still seems unlikely that there will be any first class cricket this season which we are permitted to watch. Even if there are regionally organised first class matches with spectators, it is doubtful if the hospitality outlets would be able to welcome us. Our event as part of the Cheltenham Cricket Festival was cancelled, and it’s extremely doubtful if our proposed days at Leicester and Taunton in August and Headingley in September will be able to take place. In view of this, we have decided to cancel all our match events for the remainder of the season. The Group’s Annual Lunch is currently scheduled for Saturday, 10th October at the Civil Service Club in central London. The Club has reopened from 6 July, but with social distancing and other restrictions in place, and it is impossible to know whether these will still be in force in October. We have therefore decided to adopt a “wait and see” policy, with the possibility of holding a lower key and more informal lunch or supper, either then or on another date, if restrictions permit at the time. Please therefore keep this date in your diary for now. In addition, Adam Lyth’s testimonial year has been postponed to 2021, with the agreement of the Professional Cricketers’ Association and management at Headingley, and we will therefore now be inviting him to be our guest speaker at next year’s Annual Lunch. As well as our Lunch, we have not yet been able to reschedule our AGM. At the time of going to press, the government had relaxed social distancing guidelines from two metres to one metre plus. We don’t know what will be in place later in the year, but we will notify members of an AGM date as soon as we can. We may therefore need to contact members at short notice for either of these events. As we do not have everyone’s email address, could you please respond if you have received an insert in this Newsletter asking for this; if you did not receive an insert, please assume that we already hold your email details. For members who do not have email, we will contact you separately if necessary. This is all very disappointing, particularly as May was the perfect month for cricket weather-wise. As you will appreciate, it is impossible to know what the coronavirus restrictions will be in October or later in the year, but we remain hopeful that an informal get-together might be organised. We will be in touch with members again in late Summer/Autumn. We can only hope that next year will see the resumption of a normal programme and that we can all enjoy days out at cricket grounds again. 4 Correspondence from Headingley We have received the following from Chief Executive Mark Arthur: I hope that Members of the Southern Group, along with their friends and family, are safe and well. Although there has been great uncertainty around the likelihood of cricket being played this summer, in recent weeks I have been very encouraged by the plans that have been put in place to host cricket in a safe environment. I believe that English cricket owes a massive debt of gratitude to the West Indies for touring during this uncertain time. Playing the behind-closed-doors series in Manchester and Southampton will enable the England and Wales Cricket Board to benefit from broadcast revenues. This money is critical for the game. Throughout the lockdown period, I have been in weekly contact with the ECB and the other 17 counties to look at ways of staging domestic cricket in a safe environment. There have been many permutations as we continue to follow daily government guidance in order to put us in the best possible position to play county cricket this summer. Over the past few weeks, we have been in regular contact with Members and are appreciative of their considerable support during this difficult time. A few counties have already released their plans regarding 2020 memberships. As a Club, we feel that it is best to communicate a matrix of options which will be available to Members once we understand what a rescheduled domestic season 5 will look like. All options will be discussed at Board level and shared with the Members’ Committee for their thoughts before communicating this further. I’d like to finish by extending my heartfelt appreciation to Tim Bresnan who informed us that he would like to pursue opportunities elsewhere. Tim is a modern-day great at Yorkshire and has enjoyed considerable success with the Club and on the international stage. When telling Martyn Moxon of his decision, Tim said that although he has the desire to continue playing, he is excited by the talented all-rounders emerging at Emerald Headingley. When looking back at his 19 years with Yorkshire, Tim believed that being exposed to first team cricket from an early age helped his development as a player considerably. Although tinged with sadness, Tim felt that moving on would allow these young players to be given the same opportunities that benefited him. I think that you will all agree that this typifies the outstanding player and team- mate that Tim has been at Yorkshire, and shows the great promise that is placed on the next crop of talented youngsters coming through the ranks. We will miss him but do expect him to remain close to the Club for many years to come. Many thanks to Mark for what was a very up to date statement of where we are as we head to press! 6 Forty Years On It was already my intention to allot some of this issue to the fortieth anniversary of the Southern Group. The circumstances we face however have made more space available. Seeing this as a rare opportunity rather than a crisis, we offer two retrospectives. The first consists of extracts from Tony Bradbury’s article in 2005 to mark the 25th anniversary of our establishment. The second revisits the Bosifile for 1980. ANNIVERSARY TIES The fortieth anniversary ties are now ready and we hope to arrange collection as soon as we can, given current circumstances. Then we will begin distribution to members. Some may already have received them….. How it all began, based on an article written by Anthony Bradbury in 2005 Twenty-five years on – The Formation of the Southern Group in 1980. The first formal meeting of the Southern Group was on 3rd December, 1980. However the seeds had been sown at the Oval on July 13th 1980 when two of our Founder Members met in the Oval Pavilion. The story is taken up by the late Burt Rhodes in an obituary he was to write of Ernie Taylor in July 1994: “I first met Ernie Taylor at the Oval in 1980….We stuck up a conversation, commenting on the match, a one day affair which had just ended; as I recollect there were a dozen or so Yorkshire members standing around with long faces – Surrey had beaten Yorkshire.

  • 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.

  • 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.
