This weekend's Repair Cafe Overton-on-Dee was a success. A lawn mower was repaired, several lamps were mended and a WI shield was rendered as good as new. The seamstress ' were busy attending to garments which needed attention and drinks and home made cakes were served. Everybody present, the people doing the repairs, the people who helped in other important ways and the people who came for refreshments and to watch the repairs being done all said that they had enjoyed the session.

This weekend the lady who cleans the public toilets was on holiday so a member of Overton Community Council volunteered to open and close the toilets to keep the facilities open despite the fact that a cleaner wasn't available for the last few days.

This is a polite message for school leavers and others who will be going down to the river in Overton this weekend . Please do not leave your litter in the field for other people to pick up for you .Please take it home or put it in one of the litter bins in Overton village . It is not kind to wildlife or to the cows who graze in the field to leave litter around that could harm them. It is also very unsightly. The river and surrounding fields are beautiful but litter is not beautiful. Thank you in advance for your co-operation.

The next Overton Repair Cafe is going to be held on Saturday May 30th in the Catholic Church Hall which is behind the Catholic Church on Wrexham Road. A good number of willing volunteers will be there ready to attempt to mend your broken household items and do. any necessary textile repairs. At the last Repair Cafe we had a volunteer who was able to do repairs on bicycles but unfortunately he won't be able to attend this time. Is there anyone else in the village who could volunteer to repair bicycles? If so we would love to welcome you to The Repair Cafe.
Cakes and drinks will be available for small donations. Thank you very much to the ladies who donated cakes last time. 😀
