The results are in! The Official SCC Mascot 2013 is....

In previous years, the official SCC Mascot has had something of a low-key role. 

So low-key, in fact, you would be forgiven for missing it completely.  Or forgiven for thinking it was Pete Bramwell and letting him win was part of the deal...

But not this year. 

This year, the SCC Mascot has been determined by public vote for the first time.  Not an X-factor style, rigged-by-the-producers telephone vote.  This competition has, we are pleased to announce, been determined by secret ballot of the residents of Llandudno.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the results, in reverse order.

Third place – Shaun the Sheep

Shaun was a promising contender and popular among the residents of Llandudno. 

Alas, his lack of sporting ability and tendency to munch through the golf courses of North Wales (Ffestiniog Golf Club is a favourite) saw him edged into third place.

 

Second place – Katherine Jenkins

She's hot.  She's Welsh.  She runs marathons for charity. 

And, she tells us, she has a soft spot for the SCC.

"I know you've changed the format in recent years," she said recently, "and I like the new format, don't get me wrong. 

But I really used to like watching Team Liverpool.  They were crowd pleasers, you know? 

And of course they are well lush."

 

First place – wait for it....

Yes, you've guessed it....

Yes, it's you Blobby!  Blobby, Blobby, Blobby!

He's done it again.  Take That Katherine Jenkins.

He likes golf. 

He loves the SCC.

And he has a real affinity with the new format...

See you next weekend, for.... "Getting Blobby"
