Today's first Repair Cafe event was a huge success.  13 items were successfully repaired including a Christmas village, Singer sewing machine, a clock, a pair of trousers, several pairs of secateurs and a wicker basket.  Thank you so much to everyone who has supported the project so far.  We have a planning meeting/debrief this Friday at 11am at Queens Court if anyone wants to come along.  Hopefully we will be holding Repair Cafe events every month.  If you would like further information or would like to be added to the mailing list, please contact me or Dawn at repaircafemarple@gmail.com.  You can also follow us on Facebook or Twitter.

We had a planning meeting at The Garden House this morning to discuss how we might get a regular repair event off the ground in Marple.  The following Facebook page has been set up where regular updates will be posted, so please like and follow it if you are interested in being part of this in anyway:
