#### Join us for the second Oakington Repair Cafe!

After a very popular first Repair Cafe in 2024, Oakington Repair Cafe returns to the Oakington Pavilion on 8th February 2025. Join us for repairs, conversation and treats from Oakington's finest bakers!

All repairs are free, thanks to our team of experienced volunteer repairers, although donations are very welcome.

Our cafe will again serve hot and cold drinks, cakes, and light lunches and is open to everyone - you don't need to be having an item repaired!

We recommend booking repairs in advance to avoid a long wait for walk-in slots on the day. In the interest of fairness, we will only accept one booking per person*.

To book a repair slot, please complete our booking form: https://forms.gle/4MwAovy9vo2NZkXd9

This year, we will be accepting:

* Bikes (broken, or in need of a tune-up)
* Clothes and other textiles (stitching, patches, buttons, zips etc.)
* Computers/laptops/tablets/phones (software and some hardware problems; not broken screens)
* Items needing sharpening (garden tools, kitchen equipment etc.)
* Electrical/mechanical/other items (appliances, clocks, toys, items in need of gluing etc.)

== Hosted by Oakington Repair Cafe ==

Oakington Repair Cafe is organised in conjunction with Sustainable Oakington and Westwick (SOW), a group of local residents with an interest in sustainability and the environment.

We wanted to create a friendly community event in the heart of the village, where people could come to meet, chat and take positive action to benefit themselves and the environment.

Our first Repair Cafe ran in February 2024 and was a great success. We intend to continue run the Repair Cafe annually in February, as an important fixture in the village calendar.

All ages are welcome at our Repair Cafes, which take place in the accessible Oakington Pavilion. You do not have to have something that needs repair to visit us - many people drop by for the tea, cake and the atmosphere.
