November Repair Cafe

Saturday 16th November 1.30pm – 4pm

Reyburn Art Studio, 31 Reyburn House Lane, Town Basin, Whangārei

At our monthly events volunteers donate their time to help you repair your items.
If you know the specific part needed to repair your item, we ask that you bring it along. Please ensure you bring all the parts (plugs etc) and clean out crumbs and empty water before bringing your items in.
There will be wonderful flat whites and baking to help fund the venue hire.

We’re happy to help you learn how to repair. We are not repair professionals, Repair Cafes are a community self-repair space. Attending means that you take responsibility for your own item.

Repair skills available this month :

Knitwear, clothing, heavy-duty sewing, tool and knife sharpening, electrical repair, general repair, wood working and software support

 

We welcome new volunteers, what ever your skills we can use your help. Welcome and sign people in, bake, repair, take photos, make signs and more.
