ADELAIDE TURF CRICKET ASSOCIATION INC. PRESIDENT'S REPORT SEASON 1995 -96 1995/96 was a significant year in the history of Adelaide Turf Cricket. It saw the launch of the Premier Grade, with an emphasis by the Turf administration on all the important components of administration, facilities, junior coaching and financial stability. It was hoped that the new Premier Grade would be attractive to sponsors but that did not prove to be the case and, as at the date of this report, your Board of management is still vigorously pursuing sponsorship for next season. there is a pressing need for the Adelaide Turf Cricket Association to receive financial support to try to reduce the costs for the affiliated clubs. A lot has been, and continues to be, done to improve the financial efficiency of the Turf Cricket Association administration but there is not much more capacity for improvement. The consequence has been a regrettable increase in affiliation fees for the ensuing season and a continuing inability to finance annual representative games against the Victorian Sub - District cricket Association. The financial difficulties that the Association is confronting (which unfortunately have to be passed on to the clubs) have been brought to the attention of representatives of the South Australian Cricket Association and the Australian Cricket Board. It is regrettable that the Adelaide Turf cricket association, which is the largest cricket association in the Southern Hemisphere, gets absolutely no financial assistance from the Australian Cricket Board and this is a matter which your Association will continue to address during the next season. In all other respects the Association is functioning very satisfactorily. The Limited Over competition continues to be popular and this year the Association is introducing Saturday and Sunday cricket for junior sides to maximise the use of the available cricket grounds. I congratulate your Board of Management for their commitment, perseverance and foresight. It is imperative that we all get behind them as they strive to improve the cricket environment for all Adelaide Turf Cricket Association players. SIMON T.LANE President CHAIRMANS REPORT (incorporating FORWARD PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT) Our many highlights over the past season included the following: The very successful introduction of the new Premier Grade. Certainly a resounding success resulting in increasing playing standards at the top level and better all round facilities. Another very pleasing aspect was the continued achievements in the limited over competition. Exciting cricket is the norm as the grades cater for all types of playing members. I was thrilled with the efforts of the Junior Cricket organisers. A.T.CA. sponsored a number of extremely flourishing clinics in suburban areas. Junior cricketers participated in skills programs in large numbers which should certainly augur well for the future. The A.T.C.U.A. (Umpires Association) joined the A.T.C.A. as a member club. Closer liaisons led to more streamlined procedures and better understandings between parties. The Cricket Union of S.A. was reformed with some nine member associations. The Union works for the general improvement and benefit of cricket in South Australia. On the playing side, in the Premier Grade, S.P.O.C. defeated Ingle Farm District in a hard fought contest that literally was decided by the last innings of the match. Richmond Clarence Park mastered the 50 over game to become the Brock Partners champions whilst Kensington District played consistently to win the limited Overs "A" grade. Other congratulations must be handed to winners of premierships in other grades, all trophy winners, members of A.T.C.A. representative teams and to awarded Player Life Members for both 15 and 25 years service. Well done to these worthy performers. Our representative games proved a mixed bag with the under 20's and Masters winning all of their games and the other sides all producing a winning effort at a stage throughout the season. Incidentally, by our records, the Masters have never been beaten by any side since their inception in 1989. Some special "thank ou's" and in particular to the following: Messrs: Simon Lane (President)( and Barry Fry (Vice- President) for their special guidance The Board of Management - willing workers for a very special Association Gerry Goulter (General Manager) extraordinaire! Jack Bickle (Tnbunal Commissioner) dedicated to service Our coaches, Steven Sykes (Cricket) and Barry Droegemueller (Umpires) All other Sub Committee Members and other Officials involved in assisting A.T.C.A. Our Sponsors, Brock Partners Real Estate, Rowe & Jarman Sports, Kookaburra Sports and Foundation S.A. (Sunsmart): without their assistance, we certainly would not have a cricket association in it's present form! Award presentation evenings were held for both the Senior and Junior Divisions. Again, most successful evenings. Sadly, we mourned the passing and missed the company of Mr Alf Marlow, previously our oldest Life Member. What's happening in the coming season? We look forward to an exciting year with the probability of a number of new teams and the possibility of the commencement of a limited over Sunday Competition. Two Board Members are retiring, notably Jon Hyams (Treasurer) and Michael Vinci (Ovals). My personal thanks to both of these untiring dedicated workers. A.T.C.A. continues to seek new Umpires to further supplement our panel. Enquires are most welcome. The commitment to our Junior Coaching clinics will be continued. We support the fostering of cricket at the grass root's level in South Australia. As a special message, we are all aware that club administration is becoming more difficult. A.T.C.A. has available, special information data to assist in such matters as liaisons with Councils. This is available via Australian Cricket Board assistance programs. We are all aware of the continual spiralling of costs within Associations such as ours. The Board is continuing with negotiations for further sponsorships and looks forward to a positive result in this matter. I wish all clubs all the very best for our coming season! We have all heard the adage, "effort equals reward ". Well never is it more evident than on the playing and administration fields of cricket. Continued efforts will surely surge your club to the top of the ranking's. ROBERT W.WIGLEY Chairman GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT The year under review saw the birth of the new Premier Grade as the flagship of the Association, the increase in the number of teams playing one day cricket with many well known players coming out of retirement to don the whites once again. Two excellent Grand Finals in the Premier Grade and the Brock Partners Knockout Cup, but on the other side of the ledger, a very poor performance against the Victorian Sub -District Cricket Association by our State Team. The Association failed in its efforts to obtain sponsorship for the Premier Grade and the Association. With us not being the senior body in our state, companies are not prepared to support our competition, even with the highest playing, membership ofany Cricket Association in Australia. Representative matches were played against the Victorian Sub -Districts Cricket Association, South Australian Cricket Association, Riverland Turf Cricket Association, S.A.Women's Cricket Association and a touring team from Lahore, Pakistan. These matches were played at various age levels and we also played in the West End Cup which is a S.A.C.A. competition. On the right side of the ledger we again appreciated the support of various companies who advertised in our Official Handbook. We look forward to them continuing again for the forthcoming season and trust they may be rewarded for their helpful assistance. ADMINISTRATION No Association can be successful without strong administration, and we were again fortunate to have as our Patron, the Right Hon. The Lord Mayor of Adelaide, Mr Henry Ninio and we thank him for his support. The Chairman of the S.A.C.A. Cricket Committee, Mr Brian Wilson, we thank him for his continued support as Vice -Patron. Mr 'Simon Lane, President and Mr Barry Fry, Vice -President continued their involvement and interest in the direction the association is taking. Both of these gentlemen are distinguished ex players of many years playing in our association. This year Simon has been involved with the sponsorship and funding and hopefully through his efforts we may achieve support in the near future, Barry has been heavy committed in the Selection and Coaching areas. Mr Bob Wigley, Chairman of the Association and the Board of Management has led from the front.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Friday 19
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION FRIDAY 19th MARCH 2021 Part of Lot 344 CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 19th MARCH 2021 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.
