The Repair Cafe returned to the Fernhurst Hub on Saturday, April 20 for its third edition.

A team of volunteer repairers were ready to go as more than 30 different items were bought to the Hub in the hope of bringing back new life to things that had fallen into disrepair.

These included an ice cream maker, garden tools, lamps, a kettle, an ornamental wooden yacht, two teddy bears and much more.

Hub manager Liz Rawlings said: “It’s wonderful to see how much craftsmanship and skill there is in the village.

“We are very grateful to Eric Willner, Helen Cussen, Sandy Pollock, Denise Holmes, Veronica and Daniel Correa and Les Colcutt.

“They all give their time for free and if they can’t repair things on the day, they are happy to take them away and work on them at home, we are so grateful to them all.”

Denise was tasked with re-stuffing a blue teddy and fixing its eyes so a little boy could have it by bedtime that night.

Local resident Kate Thomas brought her much loved, yet threadbare teddy bear Rupert to the last Repair Cafe.

Rupert holds special significance to Kate, as he was a gift given by her grandfather on the day she was born.

He was missing a nose and paws, brought about through 60 years of Kate’s cuddles and pet playfulness.

Kate said: “Veronica has done an amazing job, it is so lovely to have my beloved teddy back in one piece with a new nose!”

The Repair Café will be returning to the Hub in the autumn.

There is also the Haslemere Repair Café which takes place on the first Saturday of each month at the Swan Inn on Haslemere High Street.
