Stepney is a ball of energy and is always busy; when he moves, he moves fast. He can be very competitive, and if the Wombles are all out on tidy duty, Stepney will be the one to try to get the most rubbish, in the fastest amount of time. (Orinoco simply doesn’t understand this trait and often thinks Stepney needs psychological help.) Bungo and Tomsk go for a flight in a spaceship invented by Wellington and become convinced they've landed on the Moon. Wombling Merry Christmas" / "The Wombles Warning" / "Miss Adelaide (She's Got A Lot Of Knowledge)" / "The Jungle Is Jumping" The five-minute shows, made using stop-frame animation for the BBC, featured Great Uncle Bulgaria, Orinoco, Madame Cholet, Wellington, Tomsk, Bungo and Tobermory, who were ahead of their time when it came to recycling.

Rather chubby, somewhat lazy and sometimes greedy, Orinoco is still the most loveable of all the young Wombles because his motives are so very basic. He has a great air of innocence which prevents his habits from being annoying to others. Wellington – scientifically inclined, but very insecure and absent-minded. Named after Beresford's nephew's school, Wellington School, Somerset, though Wellington himself later states that he chose his name from the city of Wellington in New Zealand.

The Wombles of Wimbledon all choose their own names out of Great Uncle Bulgaria’s atlas. Some of them spend a long time looking for a name that suits them, while others just close their eyes and point, and hope for the best! In the first book, Bungo is the youngest and least experienced of the team, and the story is mostly viewed through his eyes. Later Wellington (who was not introduced until the second book) took over the role of "new boy", and even later on, Shansi takes Bungo's place as the youngest working Womble. Alderney and Miss Adelaide appeared in the earlier books but were not included in the original 1970s TV series. Alderney was re-introduced in the later TV shows produced in the 1990s (the Channel Island of Alderney was actually Elisabeth Beresford's home at the time), along with Stepney (who appeared in none of the earlier versions). The 1990s television series focussed on ten to twelve Wombles - the core seven above, plus another five regular characters and visitors:

My wife’s far more like a Womble than the rest of us,” Marcus says. “She is green, grows her own veg, even had her own treehouse.” Wombles Netball Club – List of Committee Post Responsibilities". Angelfire.com . Retrieved 30 April 2012.When he does come to visit he complains constantly as it seems he is at his happiest when most miserable. He misses decent clover tea and always has something to complain to Madame Cholet about (even though he secretly loves her cooking and wouldn’t mind her living with him in Scotland). Little do the Wimbledon Wombles know how much MacWomble really envies them. Quetta – a womble whom Yellowstone met while travelling the world, who comes from a burrow on the Khyber Pass. Quetta is named after the capital of Balochistan.

Regulatory issues surrounding real estate development, including environmental, health and safety and data compliance, are serviced by our property development solicitors From 2000 to June 2003, Wimbledon F.C. used a Womble named "Wandle" as a club mascot, named after the local River Wandle. After the 2002 relocation of the club to Milton Keynes, the licence to use the character was not renewed beyond June 2003. [21] In 2006, the club's Wimbledon successor, AFC Wimbledon, made a licensing deal with Beresford and launched its own Womble mascot. After a naming competition in which the final name was chosen by Elisabeth Beresford herself, AFC Wimbledon announced that the new Womble would be known as "Haydon", after Haydons Road, the nearest railway station to Wimbledon's original home ground, Plough Lane. Twelve years later, the club announced plans to return to their original neighbourhood; Haydons Road is also the closest station to their new ground.Though it is stated that Wombles live all around the world, Beresford's collection of stories, as well as the television series and the music, focus on a group living in Wimbledon Common in London, England, with the sole exception of The Wombles Go Round The World. The comedy film The Rutles featured a Ringo Starr-inspired character named Barrington Womble who "shortened his name to save time...he simply became Barry Wom." So who would write the stories? “I think we’d have some input,” says Marcus, now 67. “But we’re not young people and we have to understand some things will be different. I’m very impressed with the people they’ve got on the team now.” Waverley was specially created by Elisabeth Beresford in 2002 for the council’s waste awareness campaign, to encourage residents to reduce, re-use and recycle. He’s a sporty Womble with a blue hat, and was described by the author as “an eager fellow who makes the occasional mistake but always puts them right”.
