  • 1895 a Landmark in Cricket History
    Thursday 28 February, page 4: CRICKET The annual meeting of the Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club was held at the George Hotel, Nottingham, yesterday, when Mr W E Denison presided over a very large number of members. In the report and accounts there was small measure for gratification. Insignificant “gates” were the rule all through last summer, and the only three-figure sum taken at any one match was £253 in the case of Notts v Surrey. There was a loss on the year’s working and the sum due to the bankers had risen from £4,628 to £4,845. This year’s programme was announced, the matches being with Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Middlesex, Gloucestershire, Yorkshire, Lancashire and Derbyshire, the last-mentioned taking the place of Somerset. Flowers will receive as a benefit the proceeds of Lancashire v Notts. The report and accounts were adopted. Lord Henry Cavendish Bentinck was elected president for the year, with the Mayor of Nottingham as vice-president, while Mr W E Denison, Captain Tomasson and Mr J A Dixon were elected on to the committee. It was stated that every effort would be used to increase the membership of the club; while Mr Denison, in addressing the meeting, said that he thought the popularity of other sports had something to do with the decrease in attendances; it was not wholly the fault of the slow cricket with which Nottingham had been charged. 1 Friday 12 April, page 8: THE COMING CRICKET SEASON Two important changes will make the season of 1895 a landmark in cricket history.

  • 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.

  • Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Visits Modern
    Issue 108, Feb 25th to Mar 03rd 2018 The Cricket Team with Prime Minister Trudeau Marching Contingent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Visits Modern It’s not often that a Prime Minister comes visiting a school! But then MSBK does have the reputation for the unusual and the impossible! 22nd February 2018 was an unforgettable day when the school witnessed yet another rare moment. The Prime Minister of Canada, Mr Justin Trudeau accompanied by Mrs Sophie Gregoire Trudeau and their children Xavier, Ella Grace and Hadrien came to play a friendly game of cricket with the Modernites. Even though the arrival of the PM entailed strict security and the school was transformed into a fortress yet the atmosphere was one of gaiety and there was celebration all around. The grand arrival of the PM’s cavalcade of cars, flashing lights and sounding sirens, enthused the atmosphere with a thrill which can be defined only by those who witnessed it. 1 Issue 108, Feb 25th to Mar 03rd 2018 This was followed by a great show of sportsmanship when Mr Trudeau and his children played a cricket match with the Modernites and it was none other than Mr Kapil Dev and Mr Azharuddin who spiced up the match with their participation. The PM’s dignified presence coupled with his boyish charm swept us off our feet. The Trudeau children wore red baseball caps, while the Prime Minister wore a red jersey, looking handsome as ever. Clad in a striped, white-blue shirt and a pair of cashew coloured trousers, Hadrien looked sporty, especially with the big, red baseball cap on.
