  • 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.

  • EAST INDIA CLUB ROLL of HONOUR Regiments the EAST INDIA CLUB WORLD WAR ONE: 1914–1919
    THE EAST INDIA CLUB SOME ACCOUNT OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB & STAFF WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR ONE 1914-1919 & WORLD WAR TWO 1939-1945 THE NAMES LISTED ON THE CLUB MEMORIALS IN THE HALL DEDICATION The independent ambition of both Chairman Iain Wolsey and member David Keating to research the members and staff honoured on the Club’s memorials has resulted in this book of Remembrance. Mr Keating’s immense capacity for the necessary research along with the Chairman’s endorsement and encouragement for the project was realised through the generosity of member Nicholas and Lynne Gould. The book was received in to the Club on the occasion of a commemorative service at St James’s Church, Piccadilly in September 2014 to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Second World War members were researched and added in 2016 along with the appendices, which highlights some of the episodes and influences that involved our members in both conflicts. In October 2016, along with over 190 other organisations representing clubs, livery companies and the military, the club contributed a flagstone of our crest to the gardens of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. First published in 2014 by the East India Club. No part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilised in any form or by any electronic, mechanical or other means, now known or hereafter invented, including photocopying and recording, or in any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing, from the East India Club.

    HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 378 – February 2019 MEETING ON 27 MARCH 2019 – CHANGE OF START TIME The date of the recently arranged Hampshire Members Annual General Meeting now coincides with that of the Society’s last meeting of our winter season. It has therefore been decided to defer the start time of Chris Lewis’ address to the Society from 8pm to 8.30pm. COMMITTEE MEMBERS WANTED There are still two vacancies on the Society’s Committee. If any member is interested, would they please contact our Chairman, Susanne Marlow, or any existing Committee member. Serving on the Committee is not an onerous task. There are only two meetings a year, and there is the attractive bonus of having an opportunity to host at least one of the programmed speakers, in the event of them requiring a meal beforehand. Wednesday 6 February 2019 – Meeting Joining the Society for this afternoon’s meeting are HAYLEY GREEN, the ECB’s Anti Corruption Manager and JOHN SHEPHERD, who has specific responsibilities in that field for Hampshire. Hayley has previously served in the Police, including a spell with the Serious Fraud Office. They are assured of a warm welcome on what is sure to prove an interesting and absorbing afternoon. Thursday 18 October 2018 – Report Dave Allen gave members a fascinating discourse on the contents of his recent book Hampshire County Cricketers. The book comprises biographies of every man to play first-team cricket between 1864 to 2017. The dichotomy between the amateur and professional cricketer was clearly illustrated.

Cricket Tis universally accepted as the quintessential English game, a game which encapsulates and generates Englishness. But cricket, as exemplifi ed in Chapters 3, 4 and 5, is also the game par excellence of the British Empire. This chapter seeks to address this apparent contradiction for while cricket is so closely associated with England, it is generally perceived to have had little popular appeal in Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Indeed, ‘the temperament of the Welsh, Scots, Irish and French were (sic) often used to explain the limited impact of cricket there’ (Bradley 1995: 37). Pycroft, it will be remembered referred to the limitations of the ‘volatile spirits’ of the Irish and the ‘phlegmatic caution’ of the Scots. The co-existence of these contradictory beliefs therefore seems to rest on one of two rationales. Either cricket was played throughout the British Isles and therefore its distinctively English character has been exaggerated, or cricket refl ects and continues to be subject to the traditional elision of English and British identities, the perception that Great Britain is simply ‘Greater England’ (Haselar 1996: 30).
