Big congrats to those who were undeterred by the Ockham Road South closure last Saturday and arrived at the Horsley Repair Cafe bearing the usual variety of wonky items in need of restoration. Success rate continues above 50% so if you have anything around the house, in your wardrobe or in the garden that needs new life breathed into it then bring it along and our volunteering team will attempt to weave their magic.
All types of fabric repairs are undertaken (but not alterations) as well as electrical, mechanical and IT goods plus clocks, watches, jewellery and toys. The Repair Cafe opens on the first Saturday morning of each month between 10.00 and 12.30. The next one is on 5 October at its usual venue, the Canterbury Rooms adjacent to St Martin’s Church. The volunteers provide their services without charge, although donations are welcome to cover the cost of room hire, insurance etc. Parking is free too, at Horsley Towers next door.
