The first Repair Cafe of 2024 from Share: Flitwick and Ampthill will be held in the Village Hall in Westoning from 2 to 5pm on Saturday 20th January.
The hall is on Church Road, postcode MK45 5JL : turn right into the village at the first roundabout coming from Flitwick, and follow the road round until you reach the triangular village green. There is limited parking at the hall, but there will be a drop off space so you can leave heavier items with the team whilst you find a parking space on the street.
If you have an item you think can be repaired, you’re welcome to just bring it along, but it helps if you can tell the team a bit about your item in advance using this form: – https://forms.gle/kapr1mgqS16fiFmX6
Repair skills available at this event include, amongst others:
- Small electrical items (excludes microwaves)
- Bike safety checks, minor repairs and repair advice
- Laptops/Computers (but not screen repairs)
- Watches; adjustment of mechanical and automatic movements, limited stock quartz battery replacement, diagnosis and advice
- Smaller leather goods that need repair or cleaning (not heavy repairs for footwear like re-sole or re-welt).
