Excellent replies,

So a couple of questions about preferences for the mascot:

1. Does the mascot need to have a name that starts with R? Is 
that usually the way it works?

So far the possibilities put forward are: Ray, Ram, Inch 
Worm, Rhinoceros

R.oo (http://www.maths.lth.se/help/R/R.oo/), ooops Roo, which is Australian
slang for Kangaroo. http://images.google.com/images?q=roo
