Yes we will be open on Mothers’ Day! Sunday 10 May. 2-4 pm, 180 Longueville Road Lane Cove. Lots of visitors came along last Sunday to choose to repair rather than toss. They also learnt some new skills. Check out these puppets that the visitors repaired themselves with guidance from one of the sewing team. Jewellery repairs will be available this Sunday as well as all the usual repairs.

‘The only way to make a spoilt machine work again is to break it down, work on its inner system and fix it again. Screw out the bolts of your life, examine and work on yourself, fix your life again and get going! ( Israelmore Ayivor) We can learn a lot by choosing to repair.

Need a repair? We are open again Sunday 8 March, 2-4pm. 180 Longueville Road, Lane Cove. We will be offering all the usual repairs and have a new volunteer who can do ceramic repairs.

Happy Repairing from the team at Repair Cafe Sydney North! We had a wonderful party to celebrate 10 years of ‘Toss it! No way!’ repairing.
Our wonderful volunteers will be waiting for your repairs on Sunday 1 March.
We have a number of repair stations depending on who is available on the day: 5 gadget/electrical repairers, 2 jewellery and ceramic repairers, 4 sewing repairers, 2 shoe/bag/umbrella repairers, 2 sharpening/tool repairers.
If we are very busy we may restrict the number of repairs that you can have done at any station, just to make it equitable for everyone. Also we like to take time to share skills so it’s better to have one thing repaired and learn how to do it yourself, so you go home with a fixed item and a new skill!

Here’s a poem written by our fantastic front desk volunteer.

The front desk

They wait in line with hopeful face
Fingers crossed to get a place/
Why can’t we book on line they say
No takers for that job, OK/

Will she notice the pants are new
Make sure you keep them out of view/
Can only do one, not all ten
Not two at once…..Go round again
….So everyone will get a go
They’ll only take a minute though!!!

No zips in jeans no microwaves/
Make sure that dog of yours behaves/
No ceramics today, that’s next time/
We’ll see if they can make it chime/

I’ve a vacuum, jewellery clothes and wool/
Sorry all gadget slots are full
Some come because it saves a bob
But most says thanks so much/
Great job

Wow, that was a busy Sunday of repairing as everyone emerged from their cool cocoons after a very hot Saturday. We are really sorry if you had to be turned away, especially if you came from far away. But please try again in Feb. It is so good to see so many people choosing to repair.
