  • 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.

    History of Nunawading Cricket Club Nunawading, What’s in a name To get a wider understanding of how the Club started and, in fact, how the BHRDCA started it is worth spending a while discussing the history of the Nunawading and Box Hill districts. There is a strong correlation between the ‘parishes’ of Nunawading, in particular, and Box Hill and the longer serving BHRDCA teams, Nunawading included. Over the next few paragraphs, I will provide a brief history of how Nunawading, formerly Tunstall, came to be and it’s progress from a rural bushland into the busy middle class suburb it has been since the war. The First people of Nunawading When white men first arrived in Victoria, in 1835 the indigenous Aboriginal community was displaced and had to move from traditional grounds, being occupied by Europeans, to displaced locations. When this displacement occurred to the aborigines in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, or perhaps to continue the old, traditional ways, Melbourne’s aborigines, who formed tribes all over the countryside, met in community places and would declare the fundamentals of the unity that existed between them. Following this show of unity more business like matters like common interests and disputes were discussed. One of these meeting places was in Melbourne’s East in a place thought to have been called Numpha-wading by the local aborigines and called Nunawading by the new European settlers, keen to preserve the indigenous names. The popular translation for this word is ‘ceremonial ground’. The boundaries of the native Nunawading were unclear, even to the aborigines and the parish of Nunawading was hilly and heavily timbered and covered a large area.
