Birkenhead Repair Cafe
Do you have small item that needs to be repaired?
A broken kettle, necklace or hem on your favourite dress is unraveled?
Bring them along to our Repair cafe;
Saturday 21st May | 9:00am-12:00pm
Onewa Christian Community @St Andrews Church.
172 Hinemoa Street | Birkenhead.
We have various volunteers who are donating their time to repair your items that you have been storing away not knowing what to do with them.
Accepted on the day will be small appliances, general repairs, jewellery & clothing.
Please note that any clothing that you bring will need to be washed.
There will be a children's activity, tea and coffee for that neighbourly chat and a talk on book repairing.
Nothing to repair? Pop in and have a look around, meet your local community.
Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?
There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
