The name of the Society (and indeed part of the badge) is derived from the supporter of the arms of the College and from the Mowbray lion supporter of the Earl Marshal.

The original idea for the Society came from the late Wilfred Scott-Giles, Fitzalan Pursuivant Extraordinary.

The Society holds an Annual General Meeting in January each year followed by a Reception at the College of Arms. A Summer Reception is also held.

Object
The object of the Society is to support the work and activities of the College of Arms which would not normally be undertaken by the College. Any activity of the Society which directly affects the College shall be subject to the approval of the Chapter of the College.
