Repair Cafe Saturday 12 February 2022, at Une-Deux Cafe from 11am to 2pm

It's time to get that item fixed rather than throwing it away!

It's time to get that item fixed rather than throwing it away!

Repair Cafés are events where you can bring broken or damaged items and locals volunteer their time and expertise to fix them for you for no charge. The idea is to encourage the concept of Repair-Renew-Reuse.

It is all part of the circular economy which is what Doughnut Economics is all about.

Une-Deux Café holds them on the second Saturday of every month. The café gives us the space for free. You can show your appreciation by buying a coffee or some delicious food.

Our experts do their best to fix:

- Small electrical appliances (like kettles, toasters, lamps, radios etc)
- Clothes (patching, hemming, let in or out)
- Computer and electronic problems diagnosed (software & hardware); and sometimes fixed too
- General items, including toys, glued, nailed, screwed, stitched or checked for mechanical faults

And we have DIY people who are just clever at seeing at what is wrong with something and knowing how to fix it.

Please be aware that repairs are done upstairs, so all items must be small enough to carry in your arms. Note also that the area is not suitable for children, for health and safety reasons.

One of the special aspects of a Repair Café is that you get to stay with the repairer while your item is being fixed. You may even learn how to fix it yourself next time.

From past experience, about 70% of items are successfully repaired. If you are happy with your repair, donations / koha gratefully received to help fund future Repair Cafés.

There is usually plenty of parking in surrounding streets.

At our Repair Cafés, everyone (repairers, organisers, café staff) will be double vaccinated. You will need to show your Vaccine Pass and wear a mask. So we will all feel safe and protected.

Kia ora neighbours, the Auckland Rainbow Pride Parade has been cancelled due to the threat of the Omicron variant.

This year was due to be the third incarnation of the walking parade in Ponsonby, formed following a dispute with the Auckland Pride organisation over a ban on police marching in uniform.

The parade had been scheduled to take place on February 19, but parade event manager Shaughan Woodcock said it would be a “potential health risk”, given the threat of Omicron in the community.

AND JUST LIKE THAT - WE'RE BACK!
Happy New 2022 to all our Service King supporters, customers, family and friends.

A new year is simply made up of 365 days, of which we're up to the first 20 already! Don't underestimate the power of small effective habits done daily or weekly to make this year, better than the last. Those small habits collectively combined you could say, are a bit like 'cleaning up your act'!

We've certainly got some clean habits forming in the pipeline this year. What will your daily/weekly habits be this year to clean up your act?
