WOKINGHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL YEAR BOOK

2019 / 2020

WOKINGHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL COAT OF ARMS Interpretation of the Arms

The shield combines the principal topographical and historical features of the Borough. The main surface of the shield indicates the former, while the latter are represented in the top portion or "chief". Three white waves and two green ones, each resembling an initial W, suggest the undulating farmlands and rich woodlands enclosed by the Thames, Loddon and Blackwater rivers. The royal stag's head, similar to that in the arms of Windsor and that of the complete stag in the arms of and Wokingham, refers to the situation of large parts of the Borough in the ancient Royal Forest of Windsor.

In the chief, the pastoral staves refer to the Sees of Winchester and Salisbury, the former held the whole of the Hundred of and the Bishop of Salisbury had a Palace at . The mitre refers to the mitred Abbey of Abingdon which has links with the Borough over a thousand years old, and to the ancient Saxon bishopric said to have existed at Sonning. The background is red, as is the upper part of the arms of Reading University, whose site is within the area at .

Above the shield is the closed helm proper to civic arms, with its decorative mantling or tournament cloak in the basic colour of the shield, green and white. Upon the helm stands the crest, the base of which is the special type designed for Rural Borough Councils and consisting of wheatears and acorns alternately, representing agriculture and natural beauty. The acorn is especially appropriate to the Borough centred on Wokingham, whose emblem was an acorn long before the present arms (also based on the acorn) were granted.

Out of the coronet rises a grassy mound on which stands a Royal lion from the arms of the Royal County of Berkshire, granted to the former County Council holding an oar. The lion refers to various royal and national associations with the Borough, including the world-famous Royal Regatta of Henley, which takes place within the Borough and to which the oar refers.

The motto Unum E Pluribus ("One made out of many") refers to the union of the various parishes in one Rural Borough. It is a variant of the motto of the U S A whose first President, George Washington, was descended in the maternal line from the family of Ball of .

WOKINGHAM BOROUGH MAYOR

Mayor Bill Soane Deputy Mayor Malcolm Richards

Mayor Bill Soane and Mrs Soane

The Mayor is the first citizen of the Borough and is elected to the post by fellow Councillors at the Borough Council's annual meeting in May each year. The role of Mayor is a non-political position and during the mayoral year, a Mayor puts aside Council duties to concentrate on the role as the Borough's first citizen.

In addition to chairing the Council meeting, the Mayor attends many different types of functions throughout the Borough. These include representing the Council at civic functions, receiving dignitaries, attending dinners, opening events, talking to clubs and societies and visiting schools. The Mayor also asks the Deputy Mayor to stand in if he/she is not available.

The Mayor's correct title is The Worshipful the Mayor of Wokingham Borough. After formal introductions, speakers should refer to the Mayor as Mr (Madam) Mayor. 1
