OBJ Morris - 2019 Scrapbook
Bracknell Community Day
15th June 2019
We've been encouraging this event and this was the second year of it's
existence. The Easthampstead Rotary Club and other local organisations put
a lot of work into making it happen.
The new Lexicon Centre has a couple of potentially good dance spots, and
with a bit more attention to seating etc they could work very well.
OBJ comprised: Ali, Ann, Christine, Colin, Eddie, IanJ, Joe, Karen,
Mark, Mike, Philip, Sarah, Trish and Vera
This area is known as Bond Square, and has a covered stage with
astro-turf covered steps for the audience.
The immense block of flats behind the stage is not yet
inhabited, and perhaps when it is, it will add to the audience in
the area. It's sandwiched between Waitrose and Marks& Spencer
so there is a reasonable flow of people moving through the space.
A couple of photos turned up, which happen to be very similar.

The other performance area is known as Bull Square, named after
The Bull pub, which is possibly the only surviving building from
Bracknell's original town centre
The facade behind us depicts what "The Deck" will look like when
it's opened. It will be an area of cafe's etc, which should bring
new life to this part of The Lexicon. For now, it provides a
"virtual audience" of people standing on the terrace and watching
us. There was also a smaller "real audience" outside the pub.

We seem to enjoy having group photos taken, so here are a couple.
The first was taken outside The Bull and the second on the
astro-turf steps of Bond Square
