Charlene is most notable in an Australian context for her early Stoke Mandeville Games participation from a historical point of view. In these Games, she competed under her maiden name of Todman. While it is a bit unclear when she got married, she was using her married name by 1968. Most of the reliable records spell this Meade. In a few newspaper articles in the 1960s and 1970s though, her last name is spelled Mead. This creates a bit of a challenge. --LauraHale (talk) 14:31, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Todman's school page about alumni, with another two sources verifying her attendance there, say she competed in the 1974 Paralympics. There were not Paralympic Games in 1974, and in an e-mail from Ian Brittain, Australia did not send a delegation to the 1974 Stoke Mandeville Games. It is possible that they were referring to the Australian National Paraplegic Games. The issue here is that this itself cannot be entirely verified as I cannot locate any references to these Games that aren't so general that they only say these Games took place. The Commonwealth Paraplegic Games are a possibility but there are similar issues, and I don't know that she shows up on those either as having competed but it cannot be ruled out entirely. --LauraHale (talk) 14:36, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
