HANDY people are invited to volunteer their services at the first Repair Caf\u00e9 event in Queenscliff next month.<\/p>\n
Local group Transition Towns Borough of Queenscliffe, in association with the Queenscliff and District Men\u2019s Shed, will hold the Repair Caf\u00e9 at Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House on Saturday October 6.<\/p>\n
A Repair Caf\u00e9 is an event where specialist volunteers endeavour to fix broken items for the cost of parts and a small donation.<\/p>\n
Transition Towns Borough of Queenscliffe is inviting people with skills such as sewing and mending, jewellery and clock repairs, and information technology, to donate their time and capabilities at the Queenscliff Repair Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n
People are also invited to bring all sorts of broken items, apart from electrical goods, to the Repair Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n
There will also be tools and materials available for people who would like to have a go at \u201cdo-it-yourself\u201d repairs, and the Repair Caf\u00e9 specialists will be on hand to provide advice and guidance.<\/p>\n
Transition Towns Borough of Queenscliffe hopes the Repair Caf\u00e9 will create connections in the community, as well as helping people to reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill, minimise CO2 emissions and save money.<\/p>\n
The Repair Caf\u00e9 event will run from 10am until noon.<\/p>\n
