What Do You Have Hiding
 |
What do you have hiding, waiting to be repaired or fixed?
February would be a good time to dig out such items. The Repair Cafe Wales annual “FIX-IT-FEB” campaign will start on January 29th in Cardiff, Hodge House 1.00pm- 4.00pm, with support from the Deputy First Minister, Huw Irranca Davies. Subsequently you are bound to see this publicity in and around Cardiff and the Vale. The campaign encourages a reduction in items being sent to waste by having items repaired / fixed. There will be a lot of publicity and we look forward, not only to the work of fault finding and repairing / fixing but also the consequent development and sharing of experiences and skills amongst our volunteers.
We would welcome more volunteers, of any age. Youngsters might want to include work with a charity on their assessments for Duke of Edinburgh or other awards. Every volunteer will expand their knowledge of repairing / fixing.
Please do not forget to bring items for repair (free of charge) at Wenvoe Repair Cafe in the Community Hall on February 28th.
And think about potentially revitalising old PCs by swapping to open-source software e.g. Linux as outlined on page 13 of the January WWO.
