The Rotary Club of Bakewell are back on Saturday 28th September, 10am to 1pm (last jobs taken 12.30pm), with the Bakewell Repair Café which is held at the Bakewell Methodist Hall on Matlock Street, Bakewell.
At our event in July we had a very successful fix rate with 4 lamps, hedge cutters, a hairdryer, toaster, some clocks and many other items which were mended instead of dumped. An old style cassette player was brought back to life as was a very neglected bicycle. There was even some knitting and sewing advice given to help finish some projects. It is a great way to reduce, reuse and recycle, so if you have an item that could be repaired then bring it along and we will try to help restore it to health.
Refreshments are served while you wait as well as an opportunity to chat with local people. We have repairers who can work with electrical items, and our resident glues and screws repairer. At present we can offer a simple kitchen knife sharpening service as well as a bicycle specialist. We are always looking for more helpers, and to get further details please call Margie the co-ordinator on 01629 813638 or just pop along on the day and see what goes on.
