Transition Towns Borough of Queenscliffe, in association with the Queenscliff and District Men\u2019s Shed, is inviting people with specialist skills such as sewing and mending, jewellery and clock repairs, and information technology, to donate their time and capabilities at the first Queenscliff Repair Caf\u00e9 event.<\/p>\n
A Repair Caf\u00e9 is an event where specialists volunteers endeavour to fix broken items for the cost of parts and a small donation. The Transition Towns Borough of Queenscliffe Repair Caf\u00e9 will be held at the Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House on Saturday October 6 2018 from 10am until noon.<\/p>\n
Council encourages handy people in our community to volunteer their services at the Repair Caf\u00e9. If you would like to find out more, please contact Brooke Connor on 0422 705 768.<\/p>\n
