  • 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.

T The transition from the Fifth Form, with the milestones of GCSEs behind them, is an important stage in boys’ academic careers at Harrow, bringing the opportunity to choose from a wide range of A level and Elective subjects. In making their choices, boys can play to their academic strengths and develop their intellectual passions. In the Sixth Form, boys will find that they need to take more responsibility for organising themselves. Divisions are smaller, the atmosphere is more informal, and beaks will generally look for more initiative from boys in their approach to academic work. We will expect boys to read widely, both in relation to and beyond their subjects.

I have added the titles of those hooks of which I know, but do not possess copies: these I have distinguished with an asterisk (*) in the hope that I may hear of copies of them for sale or exchange. I have endeavoured as far as possible—and with much success —to discover and record the names of the authors of anonymous books and pamphlets and of the editors of the ephemeral School Magazines, but I have felt bound, in printing this Bibliography, in many cases to respect their anonymity. There are, however, many anonymous authors still to be identified, and I shall gratefully receive any information on this or other subjects by way of addenda to or corrigenda of the Bibliography.
