  welcome to inWokingham show 35, a topical song from Heth & Jed, "Christmas... Sweeter than wine" from http://music.mevio.com opening this Wokingham wine festival special, number 2.

  
  

  It was a busy weekend in Wokingham what with the wine festival inside the Town Hall and outside the annual motorbike clubs Santa run with something like 2000 Christmas themed bikers filling the streets to bring presents to the local Banardo's.

  
  

  At the 1st Wokingham wine festival, organised by the round table, The Association of Small Direct Winemerchants and raising money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society I recorded some interviews to bring the spirit of the event to your ears.

  
  

  And we finish off with Wine Woman and Song by Johnny Ferreira.

  Well, the clocks go back tonight, and so those coming morns will be lighter and the thus the evenings will be darker. Either way the changing of the clocks will not hide the fact that the days continue to shorten until December.

  
  

  The 11th of the 11th brings Remembrance Day and the Poppy Appeal was launched this week.

  
  

  Wokingham is now well into Autumn and Winter beckons. Chilly morns with mist and coolness broken only by the shallow warmth of sunbeams from that sun that is getting lower in the sky each following day. The traditional British Guy Fawkes celebrations are mixing in with that US import Halloween, being a favourite of the retail trade as, apart from fireworks, the traditional Guy Fawkes doesn't give many selling opportunities. Guy Fawkes - Wikipedia being a firework festival to commemorate the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 to blow up the British parliament. Before the uptake of Halloween, kids used to make a 'guy' with old clothes and newspaper for stuffing, take their artistic or otherwise creation to a street corner to collect donations toward the fireworks and lemonade for Nov 5th.

  
  

  Coming up next week we have the Wokingham Cantley Firework Event. Find details via http://inWokingham.com. And http://wokingham.gov.uk have a full listing of local displays downloadable as a pdf format file.

  
  

  With the US election so much in the news, more of that later, WBC tell us that many seem disinclined to register for the English elections,
