No waste and replace but tend and mend! Ōtaki Repair Café.
This is where expert volunteers with repair skills and the right tools come together to fix or help you to make repairs. We darn, mend, replace, glue, sharpen, tune your bike, look at electrical appliances, or anything that is broken or not working as it should. Please remember to bring replacement items like a zip for garments along!
Please register your items - that way our volunteers can bring the right tools and be prepared to fix. Otaki.repaircafe@gmail.com
Fixing Things. Bonding People. Come and see for yourself
12 March - Otaki Memorial Hall - 10am - 2pm
