So the latest Commonwealth Games (the 20th) have arrived to Glasgow and the opening ceremony is underway! Amid a Scottish independence referendum, it appears these games will appear to be pretty important both in sport and in politics!

If you're wondering just what the Commonwealth is, basically, the Commonwealth consists of countries that were all mostly part of the British empire, at one time or another, and the member states have no legal obligation to each other. There's probably more to it than just that, but I'm no expert!

It's held in Scotland, anyway, the home of some of our members! Who will be watching, or even following, the 'not quite the Olympics' sporting event?

Oh, and here's the mascot. Weird looking, I know.
