Open doors from 1:30 to 5:30 pm
https://www.facebook.com/events/466882263894626/
Welcome to observe or participate at any time but please fill in their form if you plan to bring anything to repair https://bit.ly/2H9JKZx
Or register in-situ before 4:00 pm.

Happy to meet if you are around during the first half of the session.

Join to just have a look, bring something to fix or even volunteer and get hands-on. For sure with any option enjoy the process of figuring out what is not working and how to solve it, probably also the satisfaction of getting things repaired in many cases.

SPECIAL DAY + TEXTILES
Next Saturday 19 October is the International Repair Day, and we are happy to announce, for those interested in textiles, that we will be also taking the first steps of these gatherings at MakerBay, PMQ in the morning: https://www.meetup.com/Textiles_Explore/events/265422625/
Probably there will be some joined Repair Cafes and new locations soon ;)

Lots of reading available, here are some links ;)
