Gravesham Repair Café

We do not generally accept e-bikes for repair but in this instance the bike just needed the back brake adjusting so we didn't need to touch the battery or electrics. Other items for repair included several clocks, some extension cables, two radios, vacuum cleaners, sewing requirements, and more besides. As usual we were joined by "The Crisp Packet Project", a group of ladies who combine empty crisp packets into emergency blankets. And all the while everyone was fed and watered free of charge by our volunteers manning the Café.

Of particular note, today, was our new volunteer Andrew who is a whizz at electronics repair.   Andrew makes a living refurbishing electronics and has decades of experience with computers. Our usual photographer was unable to attend so photos are in short supply.  Get well soon, Janet. We others did out usual thing with repairs to vacuum cleaners, tape recorders, a cherished doll, an electric typewriter and more besides. We record each repair with the visitor's name in case further contact is required regarding spare parts etc.  And the visitor is able to leave their own comment about their experience.  Here's one such comment section:  And here are the few photos of the day starting with new member Andrew.
