Selby Cricket Club Selby Cricket Club History 1867-2017 In the late 1860’s three important events in the history of cricket took place. Yorkshire CC was founded in 1863, WG Grace made his debut in 1865 and Selby Londesborough CC was formed in 1867. Playing on a field owned by the clubs first president, the Earl of Londesborough and sited a short distance from the town’s famous landmark the Benedictine Abbey. The club moved to the present ground at Sandhill Lane in 1936, being members of the now defunct West Riding League. In 1965 the 1st XI looked to expand the membership and joined the York and District League and in 1968 the 2 nd XI were also accepted. By the mid 1980’s with a further increase in membership a 3 rd XI and 4 th XI were formed to play in the York Vale League. To accommodate the extra fixtures a 2 nd playing area on an adjacent field was created but more importantly in 1983 a new brick pavilion able to accommodate the requirements of playing 2 matches simultaneously was built. In 1998 the members decided to remove Londesborough from the club title. Since the 1970’s Selby cricket club has played host to many well- known cricket XI’s, the MCC, Yorkshire Gentlemen and a Yorkshire/Derbyshire XI through the avenue of benefit matches. The following being a selection of Test Players who entertained at Sandhill Lane :- John Hampshire, Richard Lumb, Geoff Cope, Bob Taylor, Devon Malcolm, Ian Bishop, Dominic Cork, Geoffrey Boycott, David Bairstow, Chris Old, Kim Barnett - not a bad team! Following the demise of cricket in schools the club has over the years placed much emphasis on Junior Coaching and the promotion of junior cricket culminating in the club achieving 4 awards for our work in this field. In 1999 the Yorkshire Schools Cricket Association honoured the club with an inscribed certificate commemorating 25 years of consecutive staging of inter-county junior matches and they still continue to this day. Outstanding club players from the last 50 years, some of whom went on to the play the game at a higher level include:- Ron Tyson, Geoff Renton, Brian Durkin, Paul Harrand, Derek Lane, Ian Lake, Steve Whisker, Matthew Hoyle and John McHale. John McHale being the first Selebian to captain a winning side at the home of cricket – Lords. Recent 1 st XIs under the guidance of Chris Dye, Matthew Hoyle and Gareth Roberts have achieved considerable success for which all players can feel rightly proud. To maintain this high standard requires commitment from everyone in the club. Please support the club during this Summer, your attendance will enhance the family atmosphere whilst enjoying a cooling drink, watching the cricket and meeting old friends. Peter Rickaby May 2017 .

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.

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.

The full journal will feature in the Virtual Wisdener’s to follow but I will admit that one of the main reasons for re-prin1ng it in full was the reminder that although each years’ Wisden can give us a review of the previous year, it can never really detail - nor does it try - the unfolding season. Reading Lewis’s thoughts on the ‘pro’ and ‘an?’ South AfriCan tour fac?ons and despite thinking that I knew that the tour was CanCelled ‘late’ - it was remarkable to learn that the actual tour was CanCelled well into the English season and the replacement ‘Tests’ against a Rest of The World side, were very has?ly arranged.

Amongst the damage suffered, that experienced by the Southern Group is insignificant by comparison with that by the game as a whole, which in turn occupies a very small part in the overall national and international picture. Yet damaging it has most certainly been, as June Hirst’s report on Events makes clear. At this stage there is little to be added except to say that we can only hope to see one another again at cricket grounds in 2021, in the context of a country and world emerging from the crisis. Stop press: as we go to print the news has been made public that there has been a positive covid19 test amongst the Yorkshire squad.
