The next day was the Wokingham Winter Carnival – another good though chilly day. Following the Town Centre refurbishment during the year, the end of day procession was reinstated. Due to some administrative difficulties BB found themselves right at the end of the procession, behind the mini train with Santa and local dignitaries on board – the climax of the procession. However as the procession slowed in the Market Place to let the local dignitaries out, some of the more – shall we say – enthusiastic elements of BB saw an opportunity. Initially they just processed around the train, but then, getting bolder, got in. While senior members of the team watched from behind their hands, Santa did his best to summon a smile for the local paper. However we’re afraid Santa may not be calling at the bedrooms of some of our members this year…
