It was another busy day at Vigo Village Hall.  Two Vigo residents have now joined the group as repairers.  Many thanks - you were very helpful.  See you next month. We also had strong interest from a couple of other potential repairers.  The Vigo Repair Cafés are slowly becoming staffed by local residents which was always the goal.    And what did visitors bring for repair?  See for yourself: Air purifier Clock   CD player   Coat   Radio   Hair drier   Bike There we other items successfully repaired such as a vacuum cleaner and a record player, but we didn't photograph everything.  It was a bit busy.

This was our last Repair Café at Northfleet Veterans Club.  We've steadily received more visitors since we started a year ago and there is no longer sufficient parking to cope.  For this reason we are relocating to Gravesend - St George's Church Hall. Future Repair Cafés will be at St George's on the first Thursday of the month.  The Vigo Repair Cafés will continue as now on the second Saturdays. We also enjoyed a visit from representatives of Ebbsfleet Garden City who have provided some social funding for our endeavors to help the local community. Let's see some other photos of this November at Northfleet ...
