Repair Cafe, Robertsbridge Village Hall 09.11.24

Repair Café this Saturday 9 November – Robertsbridge Village Hall

By Chris Wing on 7th November 2024

The Repair Cafe will be open again this Saturday from 9am until midday – last items accepted 11.45am but please arrive early to allow volunteers enough time to fix your item.

We will have all our usual volunteers this month – sewing, electrical, sharpening, woodworking, but our clock man has a backlog so may not be able to help you this month, and we don’t have anyone to look at bikes.

We are trialling an upcycling workshop for teenagers where they can learn a few sewing techniques to transform an old t-shirt. They will also be shown around the Repair Café so that they can get an idea of what we do, and what can be repaired rather than just thrown away.

We are still collecting specs for Peep and tools for Tools With a Mission. For more information about what we can collect pop into the Repair Cafe to pick up a leaflet or click on this link to our Facebook page which will give you all the details:

Mountfield Children’s Christmas Party 14.12.24

Messenger Magazine Annual Get-together This Thursday 7th November

The Messenger Magazine Annual Readers’ get-together will start at 7:00 pm on Thursday (7 November 2024) in Brightling Village Hall

ALL readers of the Messenger Magazine are warmly invited.

There will be FREE DRINKS (alcoholic and soft) and nibbles. This is partly a social occasion – an opportunity to have a relaxing chat with neighbours and others in Brightling, Dallington, Mountfield, and Netherfield. It is also our AGM (Annual General Meeting) so there will be some brief formalities (very brief, we promise!) including electing the committee that runs the magazine between parties (sorry, AGMs).

The committee hopes that as many people as possible will come. It’s an opportunity to show your support for the magazine (if you like it) or tell us what’s wrong (if you don’t like it!) – or just a relaxing evening with a glass of wine or something.

See you on Thursday.
