We had a busy time at our Randlay cafe last Saturday, despite the weather. The Hall at the Community Centre is very convenient for us, and it was a pleasure being there.
I've attached pictures of three repairs or volunteers completed at the cafe: The first was a pale yellow blanket and was of sentimental value for the client. It was stitched back together and the satin edge binding was repaired. The second was a lovely silk top that needed an invisible mend on one shoulder seam. Our client was over the moon as it's her favourite summer top. The third was one of two necklaces belonging to the daughter of a client. Both had the fastening quickly repaired so that they could be worn again.
Other repairs included rewiring an electric hedge cutter.
New of our September cafe at Sutton Hill will be posted soon

We had a great session at Coalbrookdale Community Centre last Saturday.

We were kept busy and were able to repair most of the 28 items brought in. Some were retained because more time or spare parts were needed. There were a couple of burnt out motors which we were sadly unable to fix.
My favourite repair was to a sixties battery operated record player. We were able to replace the drive bands, but its turned out that the speaker is also not working. A further attempt will ne made next month when we will be at Randlay - details to follow very soon.
We were glad to welcome two younger repairers who reduced our average age considerably!!

Please message us if you would like information about joining the team.
