LCS Meeting Thursday 12 December LCS Meeting Thursday 12th December 2103 Ashes PowerPoint Video Presentation Peter (on the left) and Christopher Pyemont with their Ashes Anthology. On a wet, windy and rather dismal Thursday night in December. Two showmen came all the way from Eastbourne in Sussex, to bring some winter sunshine to all the 120 members and guests who had braved the pre Christmas weather and holiday preparations, to listen to the Pyemont brothers deliver a fascinating presentation, about the fight with the OLD ENEMY, over a small pot Urn and a burnt stump. And WHAT a night they gave us. The small trophy that causes so much excitement The two brothers both in their seventies, but so full of ASHES delight, they held the audience, with their enthusiastic style and exuberant delivery, brought another very different nights entertainment to the LCS. Roger Stead has really come up with a varied and very interesting mix of speakers this winter. Before the start of the meeting Peter and Howard discuss how the meeting will run. Not since the winter of 2005, when Lance Pierson, brought along his one man Cricket show, have we had such a different evening. These two gentlemen, both ex school masters, gave everyone who was lucky enough to be at Grace Road on the 12th, a real night to remember. Christopher doing his part. The two brothers had the presentation down to a fine art, that Ashes information just kept coming, Anyone who has been unfortunate enough to have read these so called reports before, will know that I try to put a few of the speakers tales into my text, but with Peter and Christopher this will prove an impossible task, their presentation is set out in such a precise chronological order, that their comments taken at random will mean nothing. So, I’ll just show you some of their slides, and put a few words here and there. Some of the props Peter & Chris used to tell the story. Notice the part burnt bail Alan and Peter had to shoulder the burden of being the crowd in cow corner on their own, Thursday night. Maybe not quite a crowd! However, both look to be enjoying the challenge. Forerunner of the modern bat What the presentation was all about The two ex teachers knew how to entertain an audience To begin their talk, Peter and Chris, gave a brief history of how cricket started in the 13th century and evolved into almost the game we know today. They spoke of underarm bowling, when there were only two sticks topped by a bail. By the 1700’s cricket was being played for vast sums of money. During this period boundaries were still to come, Peter told us the most number of runs scored from one ball, was 63. Even with the size of the Grace Road outfield, I can’t see that being beaten any time soon. It wasn’t until the 1780’s that the third stump was introduced to encourage bowlers. They showed some slides of the Bat and Ball Inn in Clanfield, Hampshire, home to the Hambledon Cricket Club who played on the very famous, Broadhalfpenny Down. During this game WG Grace made the controversial run out that started the cricket war The death notice of English cricket in the Sporting Times. This is the first ever mention of the ASHES In the mid 1800’s Lords Cricket ground and the MCC, Marylebone Cricket Club, became the bastions of English Cricket. The brothers showed us, some vintage film of W.G. Grace, from 1895, batting in the nets, I noticed, the batting gloves, Grace was wearing, had no palms The lady who made the Velvet Bag for that Urn Peter takes a breath Whilst Chris continues the dialogue. It is only in 1999 that a Waterford Crystal replica of the Ashes Urn was produced for the winning nation to hold. Peter told us the REAL Ashes Urn NEVER leaves the Lords museum. Anybody who went with the society on our trip to Lords will remember the guides showing us the real thing, and telling us how much it was insured for. The brothers used this map of Australia to talk about Lord Sheffield and the Sheffield Shield. Which the Australian states still play for today. Also useful for seeing where the 2013 / 14 Ashes Matches are being played. Peter and Christopher had spent 10 months, putting together their presentation, and the excitement and enthusiasm, the two brothers generate, when delivering their show, is only too apparent. They told us the first Test Match played between England and Australia, took place in Melbourne, in the state of Victoria, in 1877. James Lillywhite, was the England captain. Australia won that test by 45 runs; Chris told us that amazingly, this was the exact same score in the centenary test. Just a few of the slides and film the brothers use to illustrate their talk. The 1st first class tour of England by the Australians took place in 1878, with David William Gregory leading the Aussie side; the match took place at Lords, against an MCC XI. No Ashes talk would be complete without mention of Bradman and Bodyline. and Harold Larwood photo from that infamous series Telegrams from the two countries They went on to tell us about more modern Matches. two quite fast aussie bowlers Peter and Chris spoke about TMS. CMJ went to the school the two brothers both taught at. Probably one of the most iconic photos of modern cricket. Micheal Miller did the vote of thanks from a very appreciative audience Peter and Christopher, spent what I found to be a most enjoyable and quick, one hour and five minutes, entertaining us with facts and tales from this epic battle that continues to excite anyone who has the remotest interest in cricket. For anybody who hasn’t seen these two showmen perform, your missing a great night out. I hope all who read these pages, and all fellow followers of this wonderful game (or should that be RELIGION) have. A very Merry Christmas and that 2014 is kind to each and everyone of you. Our next meeting is on Thursday 9th January 2014, when Don Shepherd ex Glamorgan CCC, will be our guest. Phil Veasey on behalf of the LCS committee A Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all our members from the LCS committee. .

  • 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.

    Bahrain Society http:/www.bahrainsociety.uk Editor: Laurel Winter Summer Edition – July 2015 Lords Cricket Ground Tour 48 members and guests visited Lords Cricket Ground based in Central London, which is famous for being the home of both Middlesex and English Cricket. The group had a very interesting and insightful tour of the stadium with plenty of highlights. This included the Lords Honours Boards, where we were able to admire and celebrate the achievements of cricketers at the ground for both domestic and international matches. The boards listed names of famous cricketers both past and L-R: Lyn Smith, Angela Wells, Wendy Brodie, present, such as Ian Botham and Andrew Ros Enright, and Pam Hambury-Hirst Strauss. This was certainly interesting as some members recognized the names and were able to share memories of them to the rest of the group. We also saw the famous Ashes urn, which consists of the ashes of a bail (on top of a stump) from the first international test match between England and Australia in 1882-1883. We were very interested in this and were surprised by the fact that it is just 15cm in Photograph of view from JP Morgan Media size. Seeing the original urn was also reflective Centre. of the fact that 2015 is an Ashes year, with the series being held in England in the summer months of July and August. As we had visited Lords just two days after a big England test match victory against New Zealand, we were surprised by the immaculate condition of the pitch; even watching the grounds men preparing the pitch for the next match was interesting as many members had not seen this process before.
