Today was our second #RepairCafe in #RugbyTown in May. Things have, as expected, quietened down a little since we started opening twice a month. Enough items to keep us busy to the end of the session, but not so busy that we have to turn people away. I think that two people did leave without getting their items repaired, but I think that was because they turned up too near to the end of the session. New #repairers joined today too.

I shall confess that I have recently built an adjustable bench top power supply with an old laptop charger and some bits off eBay and I took it with me today to do some real world testing. It passed with flying colours so I'm quite proud of that. (AKA no one died and nothing exploded.)

I'll upload our stats once #RepairMonitor has made them available.

Results from Saturday's #RepairCafe in #RugbyTown. We use #RepairMonitor to log all of our work so that it's captured by Repair Cafe International. This gives us a few stats and thanks to the fact that we have a session on the first Saturday of the month and that we have two sessions per month, we are currently at the top of the Items Through the Door chart. The percentage fixed measure isn't one that we get competitive about. As long as the end of life number is low, then we're happy.

So, having uploaded our fixes from yesterday onto #RepairMonitor we can now see how we are doing officially.

I should point out that I really don't think that all UK repair cafes upload their results to Repair Monitor, so this isn't very official at all, but it makes us feel good.

We were expecting (read hoping for) a quiet session today to allow us to also do some organising, It was slightly less busy (chaotic) than usual, but still kept us busy for the full three hours.

The forms haven't been uploaded to #RepairMonitor yet, but when they have been I'll post the charts.

For now here are some photos from the event.
