Continuing the theme of Angela Carter /Owen from the forum, here she is at the flag raising ceremony at the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane in 1982. Left to right: Graham Young, swimmer Louise Cowin, Angela and team manager Peter Kneale. |

Continuing the theme of Graham Young, here he is (centre) training in Brisbane with soon to be Commonwealth Games champion Steve Barry (left of picture) and poser Murray Lambden. This picture was published in the Australian Sunday Times with the caption "Irish Walkers in training for the Commonwealth Games". |

Continuing the theme of Steve Barry, here he is relaxing in the sun on a trampoline. No jokes about him having a spring in his step please! |

Continuing the theme of Commonwealth Games competitors relaxing in the sun, the editor of the village newspaper clearly thought our cyclists were ill advised to sunbathe. Left to right: Andy Nicholson, Mark Gage, Mike Doyle, Gary Hinds and Steve Joughin. I think that the average age of this lot would be under 20 but what a team! For off Island visitors who are unfamiliar with Manx cyclists,
Doyle and Joughin both turned professional with Steve winning the British road race championships twice. |
