Doors open!
A good opening day at Rough Edges & we shall now be open Weds, Thurs and Fridays from 10am – 2pm.
Mike, pictured on the left, will be managing these initial stages. We’re very grateful to him and the others who have been giving of their time and energy thus far. Also pictured are Lloyd and Tam. Dave the sparky is also a regular face looking after our PAT testing of electrical items.
It was great to receive a substantial donation of items today from Tools for Self Reliance in Llanelli and Camarthen, which were surplus to their remit but suit ours. We hope to be able to return the compliment as we receive donated items.
So put the word out – we’re open, looking to sell, looking for volunteers and able to receive suitable items at open times.
Thanks for your interest.
