2018

This new year begins with an important update for Reading Transitioners. Alex and Rachel will soon be moving from Reading and therefore, leaving their active role in this community. We decided to thank them quoting Chris Rhodes words.
Repair Café will return this month, and Refill Reading is involving more and more cafes.

Big thank you, Alex and Rachel

"I think we all received this news with a mixture of celebration for this new phase of your life, but sadness too, because we are really going to miss both you and Rachel, of whom we have grown very fond!

You both arrived at a critical time (at the end of 2012) for TTR, and the group would almost certainly have folded without your fresh energy and input; you have also been the linchpin in sustaining it since then. You have brought to fruition many new ideas, particularly the Repair Cafe which has become the flagship project, and your more recent involvement in the Refill Reading campaign, to mention but two".

We all wish you and Rachel a very Happy and successful New Year and new phase of life!
