Club Fundraising Auction
Signed Bats from the Charity Victor Trumper Day
The club is auctioning a piece of cricket history. We have up for auction 2 cricket bats signed by a range of cricketers and celebrities from a 20/20 game held to celebrate Victor Trumper Day in November 2008.
As you would know, Victor Trumper is regarded as one of the best players NSW has produced and the new stand at the SCG is named after him.
The day was a charity event and Cromer Cricket Club were invited to participate with two Kanga teams drawn from the all the Kanga teams. 22 boys and girls from the club were involved and they played a game on the SCG prior to the celebrity 20/20 game.
The celebrity 20/20 game was held with players dressed in vintage clothing and using vintage bats, balls and protective gear - not much protection actually!
Two bats were presented to the club on the day and these were generously signed by many of the celebrity players from both teams including Adam Spencer (ABC radio), Greg Matthews, Stuart Magill, Mick Malloy (radio and TV), Andrew Daddo and many of the other celebrities. The full player list is attached together with the information from the day
Of particular interest is that the bats were also signed by Victor Trumper the 4th who was 18 on the day of the game. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a part of cricket history.
We are running the auction to raise money for the club and the two bats will go to the two highest bidders. Bidding is to start at $100 and the auction will run until 5 March 2010.
The bats will be presented to the winners at the Junior Presentation Day.
Bidders are to email their highest offer prior to 5 March 2010 to the Club Secretary, Anthony Caruso at hilma1@optusnet.com.au
