Description

Fulbourn’s eighth Repair Cafe, again run by Fulbourn Forum for community action in association with Cambridge Carbon Footprint, with the help of an amazing group of skilled volunteer repairers – this time there will be at least 11 repairers. The aim is to reduce the things that end up in landfill, and possibly get a second life. There are no promises and guarantees, but repairers are keen to teach visitors how to repair the item themselves (where appropriate), or for them to watch while the repair is undertaken/attempted.

Repair Cafes are distinct from Restart Parties, but there is considerable overlap, and much to be gained from sharing information.  They are co-ordinated from the Netherlands (http://repaircafe.org), and are not in competition with Restart Parties (there's more than enough to fix for us both!)

Repair Cafes tend to be less hi-tech than Restart Parties, though we will tackle computers, laptops, tablets and phones when requested.  Repairs are always free, and a cafe (which charges modest prices) is associated with the event, to cater for those who are waiting to be seen.
