Thurnscoe repair café cancels first event this weekend after flooding at venue
The group of ‘fixers’ were due to meet at the official launch of Thurnscoe Repair Cafe tomorrow
A group of volunteer ‘fixers’ recruited to give a second life to damaged items have had to postpone their first planned meeting this weekend after the venue was flooded.
The first session of the Thurnscoe Repair Café – which aims to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and develop skills among local people - was due to take place tomorrow (Saturday, October 31) at the Houghton Road Community Centre.
The café was scheduled to run from 1pm to 4pm and it was hoped it would then take place on the last Saturday of each month.
A spokesperson for the project said: “It is with regret that we have to our very first Repair Café in Thurnscoe planned for Saturday October 31 at Houghton Road Community Centre has had to be postponed due to flooding at the venue.
“The event will now take place on Saturday November 21 at the same venue, 1-4pm.”
