Bracknell Parkinson’s group enjoyed a lively and upbeat start to their annual Christmas party this year when they were entertained by members of Camberley u3a ukulele group.

The talented and enthusiastic ukulele players performed a number of Christmas classics, including ‘White Christmas’ ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’ and ‘Jingle Bells’, as well as modern hits, such as the lively ‘Feliz Navidad’, Shakin’ Stevens’ ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’, Wizzard’s’ ‘I wish it could be Christmas Everyday’, and Slade’s ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’.  Their joyful performance put everyone in the mood for the Christmas festivities.

This musical interlude was followed by a delicious buffet, prepared by members of the Bracknell Parkinson’s group. The event concluded with a raffle and a Christmas message from the Branch Chair.

Thanks go to Wendy for arranging the catering and the raffle and to the Camberley u3a ukulele group for the entertainment.

This was a new venue for the annual Christmas lunch which was attended by over forty members and their carers.  Thanks must go to Wendy for all the arranging, and to the lovely team at The Oakingham Belle who made the meal so enjoyable with their efficient and professional service.
