Talk:1930 British Empire Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a pin dated 1930 from the British Empire Games. I am trying to find out any information, i.e. value, what it was given out for, etc...If anybody out there could help me out my E-Mail address is saneandsober@yahoo.ca

[edit] sculling

Bob Pearce of Australia was participating in these 1930 British Empire Games. Does anyone know if he won a medal in the singles scull? Reply to rpeirce@cogeco.ca I was born three blocks from Scott Park in August 1930 and he is why my mother gave me the first name of Robert. Thanks

One Robert Pearce did in fact represent Australia at the 1930 British Empire Games and not only that he won one of Australia's first Commonwealth Games gold medals in the single sculls.

He defeated one H. Beresford of England who won the silver and one H. Bradley also of England who the bronze.

[edit] irish flag

why is the flag of Leinster used here rather than the Image:Flag of Ireland.svg? did the irish team at the games represent the whole of ireland, or either north or south? --Astrokey44 11:41, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

According to the Commonwealth Games Federation it was Northern Ireland. In that case the Leinster flag is wrong. --89.217.170.145 (talk) 11:48, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Newfoundland

Apparently the pic for Newfoundland's Red Ensign has been deleted from Wikipedia. The link to the flag in the medal listings should probably be fixed or removed. I don't know where to get a public domain copy of the flag... Simonus
