    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.

  • Victoria V Tasmania

    Victoria V Tasmania

    Between the teams – Victoria v Tasmania The first contest between Victoria and Tasmania took place on open ground at the Launceston Racecourse on February 11 and 12, 1851, a site that was later developed as the NTCA Ground. In what is now regarded as the inaugural first-class match in Australia, Tasmania won a low-scoring contest by three wickets. Although the Sheffield Shield competition commenced in 1892/93, Tasmania was not admitted until 1977/78. It initially competed on a restricted basis, meeting each state only once per season, before being granted a full programme of home-and-away matches from 1982/83. Since finishing last in 10 of its first 18 Shield seasons, Tasmania has in recent years been consistently competitive, winning the competition for the first time in 2006/07 and repeating its success in 2010/11 and 2012/13. Victoria has won the Shield 32 times, most recently in 2018/19. LAST SEASON: At Bellerive Oval, Hobart, Oct 31, Nov 1-3, 2019. VICTORIA 127 (NJ Maddinson 69) and 237 (MS Harris 60, PSP Handscomb 52; JM Bird 4/65) lost to TASMANIA 226 (MS Wade 69, GJ Bailey 41; CP Tremain 4/45) and 4/144 (MS Wade 57*) by 6 wickets At the St Kilda Cricket Ground, March 19-22, 2020 The match was cancelled as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak MOST RECENT AT MCG At the MCG, November 13-16, 2017.

    House of Assembly Wednesday 2 May 2018

    Wednesday 2 May 2018 The Speaker, Ms Hickey, took the Chair at 10 a.m., acknowledged the Traditional People, and read Prayers. QUESTIONS Royal Hobart Hospital - Emergency Department Issues Ms WHITE question to PREMIER, Mr HODGMAN [10.02 a.m.] Did you know that yesterday there were 63 patients stuck in the emergency department at the Royal Hobart Hospital, patients were being treated in three corridors, and there were 10 ambulances ramped? This is bad for patients and bad for stressed staff. If anything, it looks like this winter will be worse than last winter. Why was the hospital not escalated to level 4, as staff were asking for? Was there political pressure not to escalate due to the parliament resuming? ANSWER Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for the question but would cast a very healthy level of scepticism over any suggestions from her as to what this Government might do other than ensure we get on with the job of delivering on our record level of investment and commitments that will go to delivering the health service, which is improving under our Government and that we promised in the election. That is what we are focusing on. We recognise that there are pressures on the health system. That is why, with our budget back in balance, we have been able to commit a record amount over the last four years, $7 billion in the last budget and $750 million, to boost our efforts to improve the health system Tasmanians need. We will need to not only build the health system and the infrastructure to support it - Members interjecting.
