The Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland recently unveiled its new
team tartan and the new Team Mascots, a black and a white West Highland
Terrier. However, something is missing. The Team Mascots have no name
and it is up to the children of Scotland to name those dogs.
The competition is open to all children under the age of 16. All you need
to do is email your name, address, contact number, date of entry, date
of birth and suggested name of one of the two Scottie dogs to [email protected]
or post your entry to “Name The Scottish Commonwealth Games Team
Mascots”, FAO Mike Davis, Fast Track Events Ltd, 21 Dartmouth Street,
London, SW1H 9BP.
The competition will run until November 30th 2005 and the winning names
will be chosen by the Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland’s
Chairman Louise Martin on the 5th December 2005, a date that signifies
100 days to go until the start of the Games. Two winners will receive
£250 placed into a new Clydesdale Bank savings account.
Quotes to use if you wish:
Steve Frew, Gold Medallist in Manchester in 2002 said, “The team
mascot has an important role to play in supporting the team down under
in Melbourne. I am pleased that Clydesdale Bank has agreed to run a competition
to find a suitable name for each of the two Scottie dogs. It would be
really cool if youngsters get behind the team and enter a name.”
Glenn King, General Manager, Clydesdale Bank said: "The mascots have
a strong Scottish identity - a desire to succeed, strong pride in their
origin and a desire to perform well to meet people's expectations - however,
what the dogs are lacking are names.
"Clydesdale Bank, which is a proud partner of the Scottish Commonwealth
Games Team, is throwing a gauntlet to kids across Scotland to come up
with two fantastic names that really suit the cheeky little Scottie dogs.
Not only will two winners receive £250 in a new Clydesdale Bank
Child Savings Account and their very own mascot, but a unique chance to
meet the athletes as they leave for Melbourne next year. It's a great
opportunity and we really hope this competition fires up the imagination
of every kid across the country."
