Devonport Repair Cafe

Hi everyone.

Thanks to our fabulous repairers and our lovely customers for another successful event. 29 repairs with a 59% successful repair rate and 13% half / advice given.

Even though we had fewer customers at this event they brought in more things, 2, 3 or 4 items each. So yesterday was actually the busiest event we've had in terms of the number of items even though we had the lowest turn out of all our events.

Over the course of our 3 events we've worked on a total of 77 items with a 65% repair rate and 16% half/advice given. At our next event we should make that 100 items milestone! :-)

The next event will be Saturday 11 February, same time, same place. I'm overseas for Christmas but I imagine December and January would be quiet anyway.

For the next event we will be paying for advertising on facebook leading up to it as the numbers were a bit disappointing even though I was posting leading up to the event.

As always, let us know if you have any feedback.

Thanks again everyone. We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and all the best for 2023.
