Hello Lovely People.

This is a message to all our lovely, Loyal, beautiful friends & customers we have made whilst our time here in Guyra.

We would like to thank you so much for all your support you gave us along our journey whilst here.

We couldn’t have reached the sky without you. The sky was the limit !

We are very sad this day has come that Rafters is NOW CLOSED PERMANENTLY DUE TO A INEXCUSABLE SITUATION !!

This situation has had a snowball affect, damaged a community, a community hub/meeting place, a place to hold gatherings with all your friends and family, a place just to grab a fabulous coffee made with love by Jackie with her cheeky grin & Louise’s famous & fabulous muffins along with all the house-made food or even if you had lots of allergies we could always do something anyone, as Louise had all the allergies she understood what it means to eat out safe, not being able to have any cross contamination.

All of you who have given us that support through our time here Guyra, you have been amazing, thank you for all the cards, the well wishes, along with lots of tears & the last time you all come in and had a cuppa with us, we really appreciate you.

We are extremely saddened for the loss to the community that RAFTERS HAS CLOSED PERMANENTLY DUE TO THIS INEXCUSABLE SITUATION!!
It will never be the same again !
There is a bad vibe over premises, hopefully it will move away with time. Once again Guyra community we are sorry for the loss of something that was heading in the right direction, as so many people where coming back after many years away.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts ♥️

From Jackie & Louise 💋❤️

Hello all. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances have resulted in our inability to trade until the end of the month. Lou and Jacqui were looking forward to seeing you all and, all things going smoothly, should be on site on Friday.

Hey Lovely People

This is a message from Jackie & Louise at Rafters.

Yes, it is true we are closing, however we will be trading until end of July.

We are not closing because we are fly by nighters, we are not closing because we run out of money, we are not closing due to whatever else people may have said etc
We are closing due to circumstances out of our control!!
So please read between the lines.

We are extremely saddened by this decision & it certainly wasn’t made lightly & we can not THANK, the Guyra community enough for their support that they have not only given, but shown us in the time we have been here.
We were certainly making a lot of progress & bring it back to being the community hub that it originally once was.

All we wanted was, the best for the community & bring it back to life…unfortunately it is cut shot, due to circumstances not in our control…..

We are still open, so please come on in and have a fabulous coffee & a delicious treat with us, until the end of this month.

So please whatever you may hear or think, before anything more, maybe coming in to check with us both first might be a fabulous start.

THANK YOU GUYRA & TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US.
