CHAILEY REPAIR CAFÉ
Get Ready for Christmas!
It happens every year, doesn’t it? You get the carving knife out to serve the turkey and it’s blunt. You get the Christmas tree lights out and they don’t light up. You put your favourite music on your vintage CD/vinyl player and it doesn’t work. Fear not – we are open on 14th December to help you get things going again.
Don’t forget that we also can help with computers and printers which are playing up, as well as repairing wooden items, ceramics, clothing, cycles and repairing/sharpening those garden tools!
We are now getting seriously busy, with over 100 visitors bringing us 80 repairs to October's Repair Café, all of which we tackled in 3 hours.
But please don’t arrive at 1250hrs with a really complicated repair!
Portable domestic items only please – and, sorry, but no fridges or microwaves. We will try to repair your item while you wait and watch what we do, so you’ll be able to fix it yourself next time!! We do not charge for the service but invite you to make a donation to support our running costs. There is no need to book – just turn up and we will see you as soon as we can.
You’ll find us at St Peter’s Church, Chailey on the A275 at Chailey Green on the second Saturday of each month (i.e. 14th Dec, 11th Jan) between 1000hrs and 1300hrs where we’ll have a full Café service including our legendary cakes.
Not sure if we can fix your item?
Email us at chaileyrc@gmail.com and we’ll see what we can do to help.
See you soon!!

Dear Cinema goers
Just a reminder that as usual there will be NO film in December, but we look forward to welcoming you back
in the new year.
Details of January’s film will be on posters and in the parish magazines in good time for the screening.
Thank you for all your support in coming to the cinema during the year – thanks also for the help given in getting chairs set out and put away, also to the refreshment and bar team for making sure we don’t go hungry or thirsty!
We wish you a very Happy Christmas and New Year and look forward to seeing you in 2025.

NADS December 2024 Production
“The Diamond Necklace” by JULIET BAGNALL
Directed by David Read
A 1950s-style radio thriller in the style of the vintage Home Service “Paul Temple” series. Charles and Louise Maudesley are horrified to find that Louise’s friend Marjorie appears to be missing. Marjorie’s husband George immediately falls under suspicion especially as he & his cousin appear to be involved with a dodgy nightclub owner, Alfredo Borso and his mistress Dorothy. But when Scotland Yard are more interested in Borso & his gang the Maudesleys feel they have no choice but to take matters into their own hands, very nearly costing them their lives.

Gilbert and Sullivan: Their Topsy Turvey World: Jamie Hayes
VERY IMPORTANT!! This lecture is a week early on the 4th December as the Hall will be very busy with their Pantomime on our usual date.
Gilbert and Sullivan – that marvellous partnership, they worked together for 25 years producing some 14 comic operas such as The Mikado, the Pirates of Penzance, and my favourite Iolanthe. I am always reduced to tears of laughter when the Fairy Queen, always played by a somewhat largish lady, sings as to how she ‘curls up inside a buttercup’ or ‘swings daintily from a cobweb!’
This our Christmas lecture is going to be really special. Jamie Hayes could not be better qualified to tell us all about Gilbert and Sullivan.
After training at RADA, he worked for Kent Opera, Glyndebourne Festival and Touring Opera, the BBC and English National Opera. He has directed many new opera productions in the UK whilst his new opera productions overseas have premiered in Reykjavik, Malta and Melbourne.
Jamie was Associate Director on the original production of the hit musical Miss Saigon in the West End and on Broadway.
