International Repair Cafe Day - Saturday 16th October.

Cally Stockdale from Nelson Tasman Climate Forum

Greenmeadows Community Centre, Main Road, Stoke
10am - 1pm

The Climate Forum in conjunction with Nelson City Council are running a joint Repair Cafe on International Repair Cafe Day. The Forum Repair Cafe team are joining with Silver Service Repair Cafe from ReStore and our friends from Mens Shed Waimea with the Mitre 10 tool box are also coming along.
If you would like to be part of this contact Cally 0224 060 206 or Carlo 021 122 9439. If you want to bring some items for fixing - sewing (clothing and crafts), electrical (small household appliances), bicycle repairs, computer hardware and software, wooden toys and furniture etc turn up on the day.

If we are still in Level 2 then there will be standard Covid restrictions in place. Woodwork and bicycle repairs will happen outside the building. Volunteers get coffee, cake and sandwiches. There is an excellent cafe attached to the community centre for those who need refreshments. We are looking forward to getting back into the Repair Cafe groove.
