2nd December 2015 - Dressing the Christmas Tree in Wokingham Market Place.

The 2^nd night of the Wokingham Living Advent Calendar saw 13 local schools present their handmade decorations to Wokingham Town Mayor Cllr Philip Mirfin, Cllr Andrew Waters and mini-mayor George Bradley.

Carols were led by Wokingham Choral Society including the classics Silent Night, Hark the Herald Angels Sing and O Come all Ye Faithful. 

Schools present decorations this year were:

Foundry College
High Close School
Evendons Primary School
Emmbrook Infants School
Wescott School
Walter Infant School
Hawthorne’s School
St Teresa’s School
All Saints School
Emmbrook Junior School
Westende School
St Pauls School
The Emmbrook School

Many thanks for all the schools for their beautiful decorations, I understand that they should be on the tree by the end of the week if not by the end of today.

Many thanks also to 1^st Winnersh Scouts for doing the refreshments and for Waitrose and Morrisons for donating mince pies.

Tonight don’t forget to be at Marks and Spencer’s at 6:15pm for the 3^rd evening of the Wokingham Living Advent Calendar. Thames Valley Chorus will be performing. Last year they did a very amusing rendition of “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” if you didn’t see it you should take a quick peak back through the blog for it or watch the highlights reel from 2014.
