Bring us your dead electronics: free repair café, Mayfield, Friday 5pm
Bit of context first: I work out of a computer workshop on Maitland Road in Mayfield, alongside IC-Solutions, who've been fixing PCs in Mayfield for over 20 years. Giving something back to the town has always been part of how we both operate.
So this Friday night we're hosting a repair café at the workshop, organised by the crew at The Full Circle Collective. They run these all over Newcastle every other month; if you've ever been to one, I'm the bloke in the corner arguing with the electronics.
Bring down small electronics, gadgets and tech that's a bit worse for wear. Laptops, PCs, consoles, amps, small gadgets - that sort of thing. No TVs or lamps, sorry. If it's a straightforward fix, we'll have a crack at it on the spot. If it isn't, we'll work out the best advice for what to do with it next; sometimes that's a part to order, sometimes it's "this one's had it, and here's how to get rid of it properly".
Labour is completely free. You only pay cost price for any parts we actually need (or you can absolutely bring your own!).
Oh, and The Unwearable Project will be here too, collecting any and all (CLEAN!) synthetic textiles... (I don't even know what that means, but apparently some of you good peeps do/will?)
Friday 21 August, 5pm to 7.30pm
150 Maitland Road, Mayfield - Across from Coles. Can't miss us.

Only catch is you have to listen to our tunes, and not complain... too much :D
