Hello readers and members of Mobileread,

Thanks for letting me join the club!

I am a retired IT guy who found a second (work)life as member of our local Repair Cafe in Lelystad. You are welcome to have a look at our activities at www.repair-cafe-lelystad.nl (only in Dutch). Some more general information in English (and other languages) can be found at https://repaircafe.org/en/.

Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they’re all about repairing things (together). In the place where a Repair Café is located, you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. On clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, et cetera. You’ll also find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields.

Visitors bring their broken items from home. Together with the specialists they start making their repairs in the Repair Café. It’s an ongoing learning process. If you have nothing to repair, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or you can lend a hand with someone else’s repair job. You can also get inspired at the reading table – by leafing through books on repairs and DIY.

So that's what I am busy with and I like it very much. Of course I am facing defective e-readers too, and it would be nice to exchange some information, as many of you certainly know much more about them than I do.

I am looking forward to read and write here!

Best regards to all of you!
Stephan

There are over 1.400 Repair Cafés worldwide.
