Wokingham youngsters will have a festive treat when a nightclub hosts a Christmas under 18s party.

The party, which takes place this Friday (15/12), is the latest in a series of Kaos nights held at The Chameleon nightclub.

Kaos was first organised in September by Winnersh Neighbourhood Officer PC Emma Johnson and the club’s management as a way of giving youngsters a cool place to hang out in the evenings. The idea had earlier been suggested at a Winnersh Neighbourhood Action Group meeting.

The two nights held so far have proved hugely popular and PC Johnson is expecting another successful night with this Christmas party.

She said: “I think everyone has been really pleased with the two Kaos nights we have held so far.

“The youngsters think they are great, there has been no trouble and the club has been full.

“Everyone has got behind this idea and I think it a great way of giving the youngsters something to look forward to and a much more enjoyable night out than hanging around on the streets.”

The strictly no alcohol night is aimed at 13-17 year olds and is backed by the local schools, Wokingham District Council and the area’s youth workers.

Tickets will be priced at £3 in advance and £5 on the day and are available from the club itself and schools throughout the area. Tickets are selling fast so it is advisable to buy them in advance of the event.
