Meanwood Repair Cafe this Saturday

The repair gang are back on Saturday at Meanwood Community Centre, Stainbeck Ave, LS7 2QU, (1pm-4pm)!

Here's the info they've shared:

"As ever, if you're bringing an item for repair, it would be useful to know some details, preferably* make a post on the main repair cafe page.

A few guidelines on bringing stuff to be repaired:

1. Wash clothes if possible before bringing. No pants!

2. Empty drip trays, crumb trays etc, so we don't make a mess - we may not fix items if they are dirty or full of water / grease

3. If you're bringing hi-fi equipment, bring a CD, record, speaker, headphones etc. to test it with.

4. Phones and tablets: if you want the device opening up (eg.for screen or battery replacement) we would strongly suggest paying a professional to do it. We rarely have time to do these fiddly repairs, and don't have replacement parts to hand.

5. Our insurance policy states we can't attempt to repair "white goods", including air fryers, dishwashers,water coolers, air conditioners, microwaves, ice makers, water heaters, fan heaters and pressure cookers. Apologies for the inconvenience.

If you'd like to volunteer, feel free to ask any questions via email or at the event. We are always interested in meeting new fixers and organisers!

Cheers,

Meanwood Repair Cafe team

* "preferably" because posting it there means everyone (a variety of fixers and interested onlookers) can see it, and comment on what's wrong and whether it's worth bringing in. We realise that not everyone wants to use facebook, though, and that's fine!"
