CHAILEY REPAIR
CAFÉ
We were seriously busy at the last Chailey Repair Café, where we tacked a seized up printer, a Henry Hoover, an elephant, a helicopter, a laughing buddha who had lost his hands and more than 80 other challenging repairs. Our talented fabrics team will always do their best to repair clothing and zips. Please note that, although we don't have time to do zip replacements, we can nearly always fix them for you!
As we head into Spring, we’ll now start seeing your cycles which have been loitering in sheds and need some attention, as well as mowers and garden machinery such as trimmers and hedge cutters (you know - those ones where you have accidently cut through the lead….??!!!). Bring us your garden tools which need sharpening and our state of the art sharpening machine will soon sort those out, as well as your kitchen knives and workshop tools.
Our 2024 dates are easy to remember – we are open every 2nd Saturday of each month between 10am – 1pm (13th April, 11th May and so on). Please remember that we can get very busy, so be prepared to wait and enjoy some refreshments while you do so. Only one item at a time please (although you can go round again if there’s time) and try not to arrive too late as we may not be able to accommodate you!
Our 2024 posters and flyers with all our dates are available at the Café, so you won’t forget. And don't forget to pick up a free car sticker and one of our smart new bamboo pens so you can spread the word!
Chailey Repair Café is part of a world-wide movement where volunteer experts repair things free of charge – although a donation towards
running costs is invited.
Anyone can bring along broken items or clothing needing repair from home
and have a cuppa and a cake while they wait.
Not sure if we can fix your stuff?
Contact us at chaileyrc@gmail.com
and we’ll see what we can do to help.
See you very soon!!
You’ll find us at St Peter’s Church, Chailey on the A275 at Chailey Green

BRIAN STATER: World Famous Photographer, Images that Shaped our Culture
We all have our favourite family photographs, mine is of my mother aged about six playing with the family dog on a sunny sandy beach in Wales. Photographs have a tremendous power to take you back to long forgotten times.
Brian Slater will be asking us if photographs can ever be regarded as fine art. The image of the famous ‘Girl with Green Eyes’ from Afghanistan is certainly beautiful but because we know of its context it compels us to think of the situation there and wonder what happened to her. In any case are the pictures true? With modern technology everything can be changed and misrepresented. Portraiture, landscape and still life all these genres will be examined. Brian has exhibited at UCL where he is a Senior Teaching Fellow. Like his great hero Henri Cartier Bresson he uses a pre-war Leica camera.
We are in the Civic Hall Uckfield, parking is free and the lecture will start promptly at 2.30. The cost is £7 but if you are interested in joining, please contact me.
We are a very friendly society, so please think about it. The cost is, as we are halfway through our programme reduced and for that you get all the lectures, our newsletter, the Arts Society Magazine and the opportunity to go on one of our specially organised visits.

Uckfield Art Group’s
Summer Exhibition is on
Saturday 1st June
Doors open 10am - 4pm
Visitors will be able to enjoy a varied mixture of styles and medium including Acrylic, Watercolour, Pencil and Coloured Pencil.
The Theme Corner this time will be Collage from the French meaning “To Glue”.
Collage describes a technique of composing an art work by gluing a wide range of materials including pieces of paper, fabric, newspaper clippings or ready made objects to a surface.
I find I am looking at pictures in magazines and newspapers differently now - noticing colour tone and texture and have been tearing out a collection ready to use. Apparently a constant tearing sound when you are trying to read is VERY annoying!!
A few members have been dreaming about Collage and it has been their first waking thought so please come along and see what has been created and make it all worthwhile!
Delicious home made refreshments will be on offer once again as will the “Have a Go Table” and a chance to chat to the “Artists In Action”. Vote for your favourite picture and the Artist with the most votes will win a Trophy to keep until the 16th November Exhibition (date for the diary)!
