| ==Hall Rivalries == | |||
| Wantage Hall enjoys many rivalries with other halls in the University of Reading. The most obvious of these is the fierce rivalry with Wells Hall, situated less than 100 yards (91 m) away, best articulated through rugby and, particularly, football. However, from the 2006-07 academic year, Wells Hall has been closed for the next few years, and in its place most have seen St. Patrick's Hall as the obvious choice for Wantage's main rivals due to its status as being the second oldest Hall. Up until 1992 this rivalry was often demonstrated during bonfire night events on Whiteknights campus. Wantage Hall vies with Child's Hall, Sibly Hall and Whiteknights Hall in the Mackinder Table as the top hall for FUE/first year undergraduate exam successes and the number of First and Upper Second degrees awarded to hall members. The Mackinder table is an annual unofficial ranking that lists the halls of Reading University that have undergraduate students in order of the performance of their undergraduate students in that year's first year and final examinations. Up until the 1960s the person with the lowest first year exam result was presented by the warden and the JCR with a wooden spoon, which was then worn around their neck for the rest of the day. | |||
| ==Facilities== | |||
| Wantage Hall's facilities include the dining hall which is wood panelled and lined with portraits of Lord and Lady Wantage and various Vice Chancellors of the University and Wardens of the Hall. The ] acts as the main area for activities such as ] during election time, and on a weekly basis provides Spark the student newspaper. Other Facilities include a traditional Bar, a Library, a Computer Room, TV room, as well as a laundry room and a music room with a piano. There is also gym equipment situated in the basement, which formerly acted as the staff quarters, beneath 'B' block, however, this is currently out of use. Wantage Hall's dining room was also traditionally the venue for the finale of the inter-hall debating competition run by the University's Debating Society. The Debating Society itself was created by students at Wantage in the 1990s. | |||
| ==Junior Common Room Committee== | |||
| Fourteen students are elected annually to represent their peers within the hall and to organise events. This committee runs the JCR, puts on events and uses JCR fees to fund events for the students. The three major annual events organised by the JCR committee are the Summer Ball, Freshers Week, and RAGs (Raise and Give) Week, although social events continue throughout the year. The committee has a written constitution which governs its relations with the student population and governance within the committee. The JCR is also responsible for producing the Wantage Hall's termly satirical magazine 'Libel'. The JCR run a shop which sells a variety of Wantage memorabilia. | |||
| ===Sport=== | |||
| Wantage has sporting rivalries with St Patrick's Hall, Wells Hall and Whiteknights. Wantage is unique among all the University of Reading's Halls in that it is the only hall that still has its own sports society; The Astra Club, which evolved out of an earlier club/society that was established in 1910. Membership is only open to students who have competed in a recognised sport for the university or for Wantage. Recognised sports include Rowing, Tennis, Rugby, Hockey, Football, Cricket, Bridge and Sailing. Male members are called 'Knights' and female members are called 'Sirens'. The JCR Sports Representative since the 1930s has been responsible for overseeing The Astra Club which exists to encourage and improve sport at Wantage – a task it accomplishes by offering financial aid and grants to individual sportsmen/women and teams, through the lobbying of the Hall, the generosity of club alumni, and by generally raising the profile of sport in Wantage. Every year there are social events and sporting competitions between current 'Knights' and 'Sirens' and Astra Club alumni such as the annual Cricket and Tennis events held on the Whiteknights Campus, Sailing at Lymington or Cowes, and the annual Bridge competition which is held at The Portland Club in London. | |||
| ===Music, Art and Drama=== | |||
| The Redlands Society exists to inspire and encourage the artistic ability and creativity of all students at Wantage whether it is through music, art, creative writing, comedy or drama. Membership is open to all students in Wantage and Hillside Court. In the 1960s the society was responsible for a Folk Music Club and a jazz band. In the 1970s up until the 1990s it also ran an annual ] and stand-up comedy evenings - 'The Wantage Revue', and supported The Wantage Savoy (Gilbert & Sullivan) Society. Several groups who performed at the Wantage Revue subsequently have gone on to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} In the 1980s there were also art/graphic design, short film and photography competitions, a biennial art fair which also involved all the halls of residence along Redlands Road, and open air theatre productions in the quad. Some of the former art/graphic design competitors have gone on to compete in Turner Prize Competition and several of the competitors in the short film and photography competition have gone on to The National Film and Television School, and then on to advertising, television and film careers in the UK and USA as either scriptwriters, directors or producers.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} | |||
| ===The Hermes Club=== | |||
| This is a club that aims to improve the employment prospects of all students at Wantage by using the Wantage Society, Wantage's alumni network, to offer informal career advice, talks and presentations, and a variety of internships and work placements. Throughout the year there is a calendar of events based on officer selection tests for the Royal Air Force and the British Army that have been developed by students at Wantage with advice from staff at the Henley Business School, especially Dr Simon Booth who is a Senior Lecturer in Leadership at the ] and a former Major in the British Army's ], all of which aim to develop lateral thinking, team work, leadership, and the art of negotiation. The Hermes Club was founded in the 1970s and run by members of ] who resided at Wantage and the club just focussed on financial and legal careers. In 2006 it was proposed that the club should be run by an elected council and a JCR representative, who would liaise with and be aided by the President or Secretary of the Wantage Society. The Hermes Club Prize is an annual prize that is awarded by The Hermes Club Council to recognise student initiative and enterprise. The club takes its name from the Greek god Hermes who was the god of transitions and boundaries, and protector and patron of travellers, innovation and trade. The club's unofficial motto is 'Be all that you can be'. | |||
| ==Traditions== | |||
| Wantage has evolved its own traditions and customs, many of which occupy a regular calendar slot. These include the annual Sheep/Black sheep event - which started as way to remind students of the agricultural heritage of the then University college, the annual Madrigals on the 1st of May, Remembrance Day on 11 November and 11am bugle call from the top of the Clock Tower during which the Wantage Flag is lowered to half mast and everyone in the Quad stops and is silent, Opit - the annual garden party in the grounds of Lawn Annexe, Polyglot - the annual celebration of Wantage's international student heritage which is run by all international students, the Wooden Spoon - given to the student who has 'achieved' the lowest marks in the FUE/first year exams, Yard of Ale - given to the student who has achieved the highest score in first year exams, and the Wantage Induction - which is a run that all first year undergraduates do round the perimeter of Wantage Hall in fancy dress, then all Freshers take part in a scavenger hunt, and then in the Old Quad swear the Wantage Oath at Midnight. At the end of the Freshers week there is the Saturday night 'Freshers ]', which is the continuation of a tradition that was adopted by Wantage when Reading University was the extension college of Christchurch College, Oxford University. | |||

The displayed motto "Astra castra, Numen lumen" (the stars are my camp, the deity my light) is that of the Knights of the Maccabees. The hall is situated just off the University's Whiteknights Campus, twenty minutes walk from the town centre, ten minutes from the University library and five minutes from the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Christchurch Green, with shops and buses to the town, is nearby. Wantage Hall is one of 13 Halls belonging to the University of Reading. Wantage Hall enjoys its own independent Library. Wantage Hall Librarian 2006-7, James Dennison, completed a major redevelopment of the Library and it is now regularly open after years of being dormant.

History
It is believed to be the first purpose-built hall outside Oxford and Cambridge, and is designed in the Oxford college style; with a clock tower and a lawned quadrangle. Wantage Hall was built in 1908 and was donated by Lady Harriet Wantage in memory of her husband Lord Robert Loyd-Lindsay, 1st Baron Wantage.
During World War I, Wantage Hall was used by the No 1 School of Military Aeronautics for the purpose of training flight instructors, cadet pilots and observers. During World War II, it served as the Headquarters of RAF Reserve Command.
A new residential court was added in 1970.
Hall Rivalries
Wantage Hall enjoys many rivalries with other halls in the University of Reading. The most obvious of these is the fierce rivalry with Wells Hall, situated less than 100 yards (91 m) away, best articulated through rugby and, particularly, football.

The Mackinder table is an annual unofficial ranking that lists the halls of Reading University that have undergraduate students in order of the performance of their undergraduate students in that year's first year and final examinations. Up until the 1960s the person with the lowest first year exam result was presented by the warden and the JCR with a wooden spoon, which was then worn around their neck for the rest of the day.
Facilities
Wantage Hall's facilities include the dining hall which is wood panelled and lined with portraits of Lord and Lady Wantage and various Vice Chancellors of the University and Wardens of the Hall. The Junior Common Room acts as the main area for activities such as hustings during election time, and on a weekly basis provides Spark the student newspaper. Other Facilities include a traditional Bar, a Library, a Computer Room, TV room, as well as a laundry room and a music room with a piano. There is also gym equipment situated in the basement, which formerly acted as the staff quarters, beneath 'B' block, however, this is currently out of use. Wantage Hall's dining room was also traditionally the venue for the finale of the inter-hall debating competition run by the University's Debating Society.

Junior Common Room Committee
Fourteen students are elected annually to represent their peers within the hall and to organise events. This committee runs the JCR, puts on events and uses JCR fees to fund events for the students. The three major annual events organised by the JCR committee are the Summer Ball, Freshers Week, and RAGs (Raise and Give) Week, although social events continue throughout the year. The committee has a written constitution which governs its relations with the student population and governance within the committee. The JCR is also responsible for producing the Wantage Hall's termly satirical magazine 'Libel'. The JCR run a shop which sells a variety of Wantage memorabilia.

Wantage is unique among all the University of Reading's Halls in that it is the only hall that still has its own sports society; The Astra Club, which evolved out of an earlier club/society that was established in 1910. Membership is only open to students who have competed in a recognised sport for the university or for Wantage.

Every year there are social events and sporting competitions between current 'Knights' and 'Sirens' and Astra Club alumni such as the annual Cricket and Tennis events held on the Whiteknights Campus, Sailing at Lymington or Cowes, and the annual Bridge competition which is held at The Portland Club in London.
Music, Art and Drama
The Redlands Society exists to inspire and encourage the artistic ability and creativity of all students at Wantage whether it is through music, art, creative writing, comedy or drama.
