21 June Repairs

We were privileged today to have our Guildford MP Zoe Franklin visit us. She was shown around by our project leader and inspiration, Susi Brown. Zoe took an interest in the work we do spending time talking to the repairers, and the Rotary Club of Guildford Wey Registrars, caterers and helpers.

Those few items that we couldn´t repair on the day were returned to the owners with advice on further action to avoid them being discarded or where bespoke components could be purchased that we could use for repair at a future Repair Café date.
