A repair café is so called because not only do people get things repaired for free, they also benefit from a café offering free hot drinks and more.  This is especially appreciated by anyone who has to wait a while during the repairs. We can afford this because many of our visitors are happy donate a small amount in return for the repair or drink. Indeed some visitors are willing to pose with their newly repaired item though many more successful repairs go without mention.  On this particular day there were plenty of other items being dealt with and here's that work in progress.

It was a bumper crop of items brought for repair.  In addition to those shown in the photos, we had more clocks, garden tools for sharpening, clothing to be mended... all the usual things. Our new signage placed around the town centre on the day was noticed as evidenced by the comments received. Every member of our team gives their time and expertise for free and the kind hearted donations from visitors provide the funds for hall rental and supplies of tools etc.  Thank you. We are happy for visitors to bring their well behaved dogs as you'll see in the photos below.
