Glyntraian Community Council with support from Repair Cafe Wales is planning to start a repair cafe at the Oliver Jones Memorial Hall in Dolywern in September. Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they’re all about repairing things (together). At the Repair Café you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. On clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, etc. You’ll also find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields.
You can bring your broken items from home and volunteer experts will help, advise and where possible fix what you bring in. If you have nothing to repair, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or you can lend a hand with someone else’s repair job. You can also get inspired at the reading table – by leafing through books on repairs and DIY.
We will also have a PAT testing service available at the Repair Café to check for you whether small electrical items are safe to use.
We have a few volunteer fixers already but we’re on the lookout for more who can help mend or advise on bicycles, electrical items, sewing and fabric repairs at anything that typically needs fixing. If you have skills you’d be prepared to share as a Repair Café volunteer for a couple of hours once a month, please contact Richard Evans on 07971 185901 or richardeevans@gmail.com.
Look out for dates, times and the types of repairs we can help with, in the Glyn News, the Glyntraian Community Council website and Oliver Jones Memorial Hall Facebook Page and on posters at the Oliver Jones Hall and in local shops and council notice boards. We hope to see you there.
POLLING DAY – 4th July 2024
Voting will take place at the Oliver Jones Memorial Hall as usual. However, due to a previous longstanding booking, voting will take place in the BACK ROOM of the Hall. When going to vote, please follow the signs to the BACK entrance of the Hall.
Glyntraian Community Council will be taking part in the 80th Anniversary D-Day National Commemorations on the 6th June. We will be raising a Commemoration flag at 9am at the Oliver Jones Memorial Hall. We will also be lighting a beacon in the grounds of the Hall in the evening at 9:15pm. Everyone is welcome to attend.
