The logo of the Society, now affectionately known as "Norman",
was used during 1991 in the preparation work for the Wanborough Station
Centenary Celebration held in September of that year. Although never officially
adopted, "Norman", a much-admired addition to the title of the
Society's on its letter heading and literature has remained ever since.
He is, of course, a caricature of a warrior, holding his shield of defence
in what is normally considered to be the fighting hand, and dressing (a
military term) to the left, which again is contrary to normal military
drill! He is, however, symbolic of all Local Study Groups, in that he is
the Defender of the past and Herald of the future.
Weathervane on the new Normandy Village Hall
The Open Meetings of the Society are held in the new Normandy
Village Hall, on the roof of which proudly stands "Norman", modelled
on the Logo of this Society albeit that his function is as a weathervane
pointing into the direction "from which the wind cometh". The
weathervane was the brainchild of Christine Wilks, the wife of the designer
of the hall and one of our members
