On Saturday I went to the Shrewsbury Repair Cafe, opposite        Wilkinsons, it is within the art gallery there.
      My old toaster was not doing its job as efficiently as it should        and my new toaster is rubbish!
      I returned after an hour to collect my old friend, restored to        full working order, and was more than happy to give my donation        for a job well done.
      The Repair Cafe`s Facebook page is just Shrewsbury        repair cafe. 
              The next Repair Cafe day is 
Saturday June 17th, Simon will        be there again on electricals, Jim on mechanical items and Sue on        textiles, not sure who else yet.

        The idea of the repair cafe is very simple, if it is broke, rather        than throw it away, bring it in and we will try and fix it.
      The idea is to create a culture where people do not        simply throw something away if it is broken, but try to get it        fixed, which saves both money and resources.
      What can we fix?
      Torches, lamps, radios, ornaments, bikes, jumpers        etc.
      If it is small enough to carry in, we can try to fix        it.
      There is a small team of fixers doing a great job        who volunteer their services and time once a month.
      There is no charge but we do ask for donations.
