It is certainly an aim for the future that Schools put their own stamp on the Carnival which they host. The production of this Handbook is an attempt to pass on the traditions of the past while acting as a reference for hosting and visiting Schools alike. It is not the intention that it be totally prescriptive: for the Carnival is a vibrant living thing that we hope will grow and develop well into the next millennium. David Robertson AT Lantry (September 1996) INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 2 The growth of the Carnival into the current cycle of games sees the addition of Notre Dame College, Shepparton, Marist Sion, Warragul, and St David’s Johannesburg in 2001 and 2002 (at least); while Newman College, Perth has indicated its intentions to rejoin after some years absence. The evolution of changing Rules reflects a growth towards cricket as played at the senior level in this country. What has not changes since Volume 1 of this Handbook is the role it seeks to fill. AT Lantry (July 2001) INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 3 Once again there have been changes to the Rules following suggestions from participating Schools. It is pleasing to rightly interpret all changes in this latest volume as a reflection of the vibrancy of the Carnival and of its growth. MSA has taken an active interest in the Carnival since its formation in 2001. Marist Schools involved record their appreciation of Paul Herrick’s work as Chairman of the Cricket Committee until mid 2003, and Ross Tarlinton’s leadership from 2003‐2007. AT Lantry (August 2002) INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 4 From 2010, three Carnivals will be held annually. This decision has been taken to ease the burden on billeting families (still very much seen as the priority for accommodating visiting teams), and to shorten the length of the Carnival and allow opportunities for the involvement of more Marist Schools. AT Lantry (March 2008) INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 5 The three‐Carnival arrangement proved successful at the 37th Carnival, hosted by Ashgrove, Kilmore and Bendigo, and will continue through the current cycle. The INVITEE allowance has been taken up for the 38th‐40th Carnivals, ensuring six teams for each venue. Before the start of the next cycle the Committee will look at possibilities for further expansion, should this be seen to be appropriate. AT Lantry (April 2010) INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 6 & 7 Significant changes to the administration of the Cricket Carnival will come into effect in July 3 2011 with the transition of AMSA to MSA. The nuts‐and‐bolts issues will remain unchanged. However the growing interest from Schools not in the main draw will demand a closer look at the structure of Carnivals in the next cycle. Minor tweaking of the Rules followed the last Meeting of the Committee. Maitland and Casino accepted as invited Schools for the 39th and 40th Carnivals. AT Lantry (March 2011) INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL 9 This is the first rewrite of the Handbook since the passing of Mr. Tony Lantry who together with Brother Jordan Redden established the concept of a Marist Cricket Carnival in 1973.Since then the cover has grown to a point where it is time to once again invite schools to recommit or join for the first time. With the completion of the 42nd Carnival in December 2014 there is a need to establish a draw for the next five year through to the 47th Carnival. All Schools in the Marist Schools Australia network have been invited to express an interest to participate and as a result 20 schools asked to be included in the program. This is an increase of two in addition to the three invited schools who have expressed interest and participated in the past. There have also been some minor changes to the rules over the last few years and these are incorporated in this handbook INTRODUCTION TO HANBOOK VOL 10 2017 Four new schools have asked to formally join the Carnival; these include Forbes, Newcastle, Eastwood and Marist Bendigo. This has necessitated moving to three pools of 8 teams with one invited school completing the draw. In addition, the Committee is taking the step this year to ascertain of there is a desire amongst competing schools to commence a Carnival for girls as we move forward. 4 HISTORY AND RATIONALE (from Volume 1) The concept of Marist Schools across Australia meeting annually on the cricket field was born from an idea tossed around between Br Jordan Redden (Sacred Heart College, Somerton Park) and Tony Lantry (St Joseph’s College) as they sampled some of the “spirit of the Institute” in Adelaide in 1973. A love of both the Marist traditions and the game of cricket prompted the use of the second of these to further the ideals of the first. And so, from humble beginnings at Hunters Hill in 1974, where Sacred Heart College, Assumption Kilmore and Marcellin Bulleen joined the host in a round robin of matches leading to a final, the Carnival grew to maturity, attaining its twenty-first birthday in Adelaide in 1994. Along the way, St Patrick’s Sale replaced Kilmore in 1975, then Ashgrove Brisbane, Marist Canberra and Newman Perth joined the others in Adelaide in 1976 and set the pattern for many years. The original concept was to expose our boys to the wider Marist community, to help them remove School or State blinkers and see there are Schools, Brothers, Lay Staff and boys just like them,
