Welcome to the 2013 edition of “Cribsheet”. Past years have seen our annual offering turn up with the Christmas post and in some instances get lost in the morass of junk that tends to descend upon us in those days. This year we have decided to publish in the New Year so that we can enlighten you as to events from the whole calendar year. We have articles from a good number of contributors covering not just events put on by the Society as a collective but by individual OCs who have allowed us to share in their experiences. As before, we also have a wonderful photographic portrayal of many events, which, in the main are reliant upon the skill and commitment of Martin Tayler. They very much represent a labour of love by him, but without them, the whole magazine would be far less professional in appearance and content. 2013 commenced with a massive freeze but thankfully by the time the first of our organised events took place the thaw had taken place. In March a Veteran’s XV v OCRFC Vets match preceded a lunch and afternoon spent watching the 6 Nations in the Clubhouse. The players were supported by family and friends in what was a splendid advert for the Society’s initiatives. By the time that May Bank Holiday arrived the weather had turned decidedly balmy. This saw a huge throng from the whole range of the Colston’s family enjoy a touch rugby tournament and a mixed (in age as well as gender) hockey match. The whole day was well supported by the Parents’ Society and was made complete by Dave and Linda Mason’s culinary efforts. A few days afterwards, the hubbub generated by the younger generations was replaced by the gentle murmurings of around 40 older OCs as they enjoyed a tour of the school and a lunch in the OC Pavilion on our annual Open Day (please note that this is later in 2014 but still coincides with a cricket match for OCs). The summer passed by and as the leaves were demonstrating a reluctance to fall from the trees we staged our Annual Dinner on October 12th. This was Peter Fraser’s last Dinner and as such we invited him to mark his departure by providing the main speech for the evening which he did in typical fashion - a mixture of passion and humour. Peter has been an enthusiastic supporter of the Society and has played a full and active role in all the events that we have staged at School. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude for this. In December we had the first lunch organised for older OCs which was enjoyed in the Dining Hall in the first instance (to the strains of school musicians) - and thereafter mince pies and a convivial drink in the Pavilion. This successful event was the first major gathering put on especially for those 2 President’s Article who have retired. More are to follow. During the day David Shaw was thanked for his years of service as Treasurer - a role which he had passed over earlier in the year - and for his speed and guile on the rugby pitch. Someone mentioned stout-hearted defence but poetic licence can only stretch so far! Hard on the heels of the lunch followed The Carol Service, which was held, as last year, in Stapleton Church and afterwards in the Dining Room. Again this proved to be a popular event with Colstonians, Old Colstonians, staff and parents. We must congratulate the pupils for the excellence of their performances and thank the School caterers for the enjoyable fayre on offer, as is the case whenever we call upon their services - the Dinner being especially notable. On a sporting front the OC Golf Society enjoyed 3 good golf days and, as usual, dates are in the Diary for 2014. In addition, we launched a triangular golf match involving Staff, Pupil and OC teams at The Bristol Golf Club and this will, most definitely, be repeated in 2014 - especially as the Old Boys made off with the spoils. The OCRFC continue to offer a good mix of enjoyable rugby and a convivial social calendar. They have a new, enthusiastic coach in OC Matt Leek and hopefully with an infusion of talent from pupils and recent leavers will make progress up the leagues. After a couple of false starts we are now on the brink of offering two major sixth-form bursaries to pupils from Oasis Brightstowe in memory of Jim Tolman. A protracted decision-making process, involving various visits and face to face discussions, has produced a few candidates who are genuinely excited at being offered the opportunities that we all enjoyed. By this time next year they will be part of the Colston’s family, and we should all be proud of the part that our Society has played in making that possible. I am approaching the last couple of months of my (extended) presidency and I would like to say a big thank you to all of you that have assisted me in this role.

  • 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.

  • The Coming of Nelson and the Ending of Apartheid Cricket: Gatting’S Rebels in South Africa, 1990
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Johannesburg Institutional Repository The Coming of Nelson and the ending of apartheid cricket: Gatting’s rebels in South Africa, 1990 1990 is a pivotal year in South African history. The liberation movements were unbanned and Nelson Mandela walked out of Victor Verster Prison. These developments were to have a major impact on cricket in the country. An English rebel cricket team led by Mike Gatting was touring the country. The newly constituted National Sports Congress (NSC), which had the support of the African National Congress (ANC) was at the forefront of mass protests against the tour. For once Ali Bacher and his White apartheid cricket body were on the backfoot. But suddenly the NSC, despite massive protests against the tour, agreed to negotiate the end of the tour and call off protests. One of the central reasons for this was that the NSC leadership was informed that Mandela was to be released and that the NSC had to contribute to an environment of ‘stability’. These moves and countermoves were to accelerate the drive to cricket unity and see South African cricket participate in the 1992 World Cup, even before apartheid had officially ended. This article returns to those heady days and seeks to examine the mass protests against the tour and show how the broader political environment contributed to the ending of protests and the return to the international fold before the coming of one person-one vote with negative consequences for the game. The article is entitled ‘Nelson’ because in some cricket countries, such as South Africa, the score of 111 heightens expectations that a wicket could fall.
