Sport Handbook Sport Handbook 26 APRIL – 4 MAY 2019 Heading The Arafura Games The Northern Territory Government is bringing back the Arafura Games to leverage the cultural, economic and social benefits of an international sporting event. The Arafura Games began as the Arafura Sports Festival in 1991 with 1,500 athletes competing in seven sports. From 1998 it was known as the Arafura Games and was held every two years. The Arafura Games was a well-developed international multi-sport event that attracted participants from the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, with the 2011 events attracting 1,600 visiting athletes. The Arafura Games fostered goodwill between sporting neighbours and shared sporting and cultural knowledge within the Asia-Pacific region. Significantly, the Arafura Games also provided Northern Territory sporting organisations with the opportunity to develop facilities, coaches, officials as well as athletes. In terms of community engagement, the Arafura Games recruited over 1,000 local and interstate volunteers to support the event and also provided opportunity for interaction with local primary and secondary schools. Welcome Welcome to the Arafura Games and welcome to the Territory! As Minister for the Arafura Games I thank you all for taking part in what promises to be a colourful, competitive clash of world-class athletes, including some of our best home-grown talent. As someone who has taken part in the Arafura Games as a competitor in swimming and as a volunteer and organiser, I know what a special event this is and look forward to welcoming people from all over the world to our shores. The Northern Territory enjoys close relationships with a number of countries and we hope to build on those friendships and create more through this showcase of what the Territory has to offer. Friendships built through sport are often the foundation for stronger ties in other areas, and we look forward to seeing the Arafura Games provide not just a fantastic sporting spectacle, but also opportunities in trade, business and international relations. I wish all athletes good luck and encourage you to get out and about to explore this fantastic place we call home. From the tourist attractions and businesses here in Darwin to those further afield, such as Litchfield, Kakadu and Nitmiluk National Parks, there are plenty of unique experiences to be had.

  • History of the Commonwealth Games
    GAMES HISTORY INTRODUCTION In past centuries, the British Empire’s power and influence stretched all over the world. It started at the time of Elizabeth 1 when Sir Francis Drake and other explorers started to challenge the Portuguese and Spanish domination of the world. The modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949, with ‘British’ dropped from the name and with Logo of the Commonwealth many countries becoming independent, but Games Federation choosing to remain part of the group of nations called the Commonwealth. The first recorded Games between British Empire athletes were part of the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V in 1911. The Games were called the 'Festival of Empire' and included Athletics, Boxing, Wrestling and Swimming events. At the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the friendliness between the Empire athletes revived the idea of the Festival of Empire. Canadian, Bobby Robinson, called a meeting of British Empire sports representatives, who agreed to his proposal to hold the first Games in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were called the British Empire Games, and until 1962 were called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. From 1966 to 1974 they became the British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as the Commonwealth Games. HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1930 British Empire Games Hamilton, Canada 16-23 August The first official Commonwealth Games, held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930 were called the British Empire Games. Competing Countries (11) Australia, Bermuda, British Guiana (now Guyana), Canada, England, Newfoundland (now part of Canada), New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Wales.

  • JSP Vol 08 No 03-04 1969Dec
    • •/ A ot if** M Number 3 & 4 December 1969 Volume 8 DUPLICATING WITHOUT MAKING CARBON COPIES - Hal Wasserman - One of the fascinating features about stamp collecting is that a collector may collect whatever interests him. No matter what the catalogue may include or not in­ clude there is no law that says what the collector must have in his album. It is his own possession to build and expand as he chooses. It is only when the collector wishes to exhibit for competition that certain maxims come into play; then the collector loses some of the freedom he had before. Yet exhibiting need not enjoin a collector from remaining individualistic in his approach, nor does his collection have to be a carbon copy of other similar exhibita This is especially noticeable when viewing exhibits of Olympic Games stamps. Excluding the early Greek Olympic stamps, a collector would not find it too difficult or too expensive to put together a 'complete* collection of the basic stamps. How, then, can an enthusiast put his individual touch on his own exhibit except through a different type of mounting? In my opinion, there are enough unusual items on the philatelic marketplace that a collector could add for nearly every Olympiad, some expensive but many rather nominal in price, that would add sparkle to an exhibit. All of the items mentioned below are listed in various books and guides, in­ cluding Ira Seeoacher's Handbook of Sports Stamps. However, I would like to point out some of these that seem to be overlooked in many of the exhibits.
