The Mascot Collection
The mascots for every SSAGO club
Possibly one of the stranger aspects of SSAGO is the existence of mascots! There are both national and club mascots, with each club having to declare at least one mascot that can be kidnapped.
Some clubs have more than one mascot, with older and more sentimental ones kept for memories. Many of the club mascots take the form of a cuddly toy.
The mascots listed on this page are kidnappable mascots, a little fun rivalry between SSAGO clubs. Mascots can be kidnapped at any time during a SSAGO event, although they may not be forcefully taken from a person looking after it. It may only be taken if the mascot is left un-attended or if handed over to someone accidentally.
Clubs or groups who have had their mascot kidnapped can get it back at the next opening or closing ceremony of a national rally (whichever ceremony comes first, i.e. if stolen on Friday night of rally it would be the opening ceremony, if stolen on Saturday night it would be the closing ceremony). Those who have kidnapped the mascot are responsible for setting a suitable forfeit for the club or group to carry out in order to get their mascot back.

Current (stealable, pictured) Mascot: Whimsy - a small duck with a very fetching 'bum hat'. Whimsy attends the majority of our meetings and lives with our chair. Mascot Emeritus: Whispy - a large duck who has been with the club for many years. He is curently enjoying his retirement living with one of our fogies , but often shows his face at our two annual service events and our annual dinner. Rally Mascot: Whacky - a small yellow duck with an elasticated neck for use as a catapult. He currently lives with the rally president and flies across many meetings. He's stealable unless it's a Wednesday, that's his day off. He's not in the picture but he's pretty distinctive. |

ShiT (Tim around children) is a big red woollen spider with pipe-cleaner legs. He is very old and wise and fragile which makes him completely unstealable. You will meet with significant resistance if you attempt to take him. ShiT's babies are stealable, they're much smaller multi-coloured pom-pom spiders and are carried by Lancaster SSAGO members. We're not huge fans of mascot stealing because we lovingly make our own mini-ShiTs so please be nice to us. |

Our stealable mascot is Squidgina the Slug (left). Squidgina joined our mascot family, so Squidgy didn't feel so lonely any more and so he could retire from service as a stealable mascot. Squidgina is the more reddy coloured slug and has a bow between her eyes. Squidgy (right) is our non-stealable and is very shy and getting on a bit, so please be gentle with him. He is a fantastic dancer! Squirt (Picture coming soon) is the newest member of our mascot family. Squirt is only a baby and is excited for life as a mascot! |

Our stealable mascot is Rando, a terrifying and almost certainly cursed painting we found on camp. Rando brings chaos wherever she goes and haunts the SAGGY garage when we're not bringing her to events. Our other mascot, Gossy, is a cuddly goose. Gossy is strictly non-stealable as she is fragile and carries great emotional value. |
|
|

Flopsy - stealable (girly rabbit with pretty pink bows) (Brian the beaver is found in the photo he is not our mascot!! He is the SSAGO chair mascot! There's also Colin the dinosaur (rip) and R.O.N. (the little lion, Anona's mascot)). |

Mark (affectionally known as Mark the Shark) was born on 23rd June 2015. He is a cheeky little shark who likes to wonder off and go on adventures. Because of this is, he is often very dirty and hates baths, so I would steal him with caution. On the flip side he can also be very lazy and doesn’t always turn up to events or socials. There is also a likely chance he will either flirt or fight your mascots, there is no middle ground! Although he is getting better at making friends, we promise! He will eat everything in sight, he is a shark after all! He is stealable. |

Phil: Non-stealable, retired mascot. Looks like dolphin. Baas when shaken (sometimes). |

After some baa-d puns, and a small society revolt, our beloved mascot Minty (who has her name stitched on her back) has been named properly once again. She is our stealable mascot (you can try and steal Minty, but wool do everything we can to get her back) and replaced Derek (usually wearing a necker) who retired to the non stealable position in 2015. The pair enjoy grazing on the grass in Singleton Park, and having sheepy nights in. Derek and Minty are looking forward to meeting "ewe" at Rally, so please don't be sheepish! Derek, Right, wears a small SUGS Scarf, whereas Minty does not. However, she has got a *stylish* tramp stamp of her name |

Herbert III (right) is a polar bear. He is named after Herbert II, the former mascot of the old UOBGAS (himself named after Herbert, the first mascot). Norbert (left) is our stealable mascot. You may find him in pockets, rucksacks or even the odd pound shop. For reasons most unfathomable, at 90s Rally “Harry’s Jumper” also became a one-time stealable mascot, with Harry solely responsible for any forfeits received. |

Our main mascot is Bertie. Stealable mascots are; Pornograbee, Wednesday, Moon Bee, Phoebee, Chimpanbee, Megan 2’s car, Ey Up, Gwenyn and the 6 committee sporks. We also have Grandfather Bee and Sheep Bee who are non stealable because they are old. |

Pâl (the Welsh word for Puffin) came about after lots of research and debate about a good, not-yet-used, Welsh animal to take on the role of Mascot. Wales has one of the largest Puffin numbers in the UK, especially on Skomer Island, off the coast of Pembroke. Therefore, we decided that Pâl would join our little team here at SSAGO USW, and will hopefully gain a few more little friends as time goes on. |

Graham (the one but not quite only), Derek and Dottie (twins), Penelope (Penny the Brownie) and Pippi (Swedish) the penguins are our mascots, and they join us on all our adventures, as well as have a few of their own! After a car crash in the summer of 2016, Graham (the original, largest and most social of our penguins) has become unstealable! He'll usually be in a costume or badge poncho, and usually making friends with other clubs and mascots! Be nice to him, and add him on Facebook! ;) |
