May Repair Cafe

Saturday 17th May, 1:30pm – 4pm

Reyburn Studio, 28 Reyburn House Lane, Townbasin

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.

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:
kintsugi – ceramic/greenstone, sewing, heavy-duty sewing, tool and knife sharpening, electrical repair, general repair, wood working, teddy surgery, software support

We will give most repairs a try, come in and talk to our repairers to see what they can do.

May Tikipunga bush Clean Up

Sunday 25th May 2025, 10:00am – 12:00pm

Lets try again since the weather stopped us last month.

We will be heading into the depths of the bush area behind the public library. Some is clear, some not so much. We will also do some roadside to ensure we have enough to do.
We will be meeting up near Gas station, Woolworth and public library.

We will provide:
high vis vests, gloves, sanitizer, sunblock, first aid, water, and collection gear to help pick things up and we will have a truck to be able to dispose of the waste we collect.

What to bring:
– Long sleeves may be beneficial while in any bushes to minimise scratches.
– Good shoes for uneven surfaces.
– Great attitude

Parking: please park with consideration to other road users.
