  • 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.

    Talk Innovation Nepal NCO May 2015 Social Policy and Economic Analysis Section UNICEF Nepal Preface 'Talk Innovation' is a series of inspirational talk events by distinguished influencers in their respective fields, to share knowledge on innovation and its significant role in development. The heart behind this initiative was found on the goal to inspire and motivate the country and its youths that solutions to their community's problems are found within themselves and not from the outside. UNICEF Nepal Country Office partnered and joined forces with multiple actors - government, private sector, academia, media house, and students- to realize knowledge sharing that can eventually lead to new knowledge generation for Nepal. The power of innovation has vast potentials to unlock new social and economic opportunities and lead to sustainable development. UNICEF Nepal is committed to supporting and working towards meeting the challenges of today and shaping a better future for Nepal. We hope the individual talks on innovation left positive impacts and brought new wave of ideas on the minds of the thinkers, planners, and doers of Nepal. Tomoo Hozumi Representative UNICEF Nepal Country Office Acknowledgements This report documents the Talk Innovation program, a collection of talks on social innovation by distinguished influencers in their respective fields.
