Wokingham

They were rolling in the aisles at Wokingham Library when the finest young jokesters in the district told their best gags.

The winners of a children’s joke competition held at all the Wokingham district’s libraries last November received their prizes and got to tell their winning entries on Saturday January 27.

There were two prize winners for the funniest jokes from each of the libraries, one for five to eight year olds and another for nine to 11 year olds. Each winner was given a £5 gift voucher donated by children’s bookshop Chapter One in Denmark Street, Wokingham.

The prizes were handed over by Wokingham District Council chairman Cllr Angus Ross and Mary Baker, who owns Chapter One with her husband John.

Cllr Ross said: “All the jokes were well told and all the children spoke confidently and clearly. I very much enjoyed hearing them and helping to present the prizes. It was great seeing the children enjoying themselves at the library. I would like to thank Chapter One for donating the vouchers and the library staff for organising the event.”
