If you are interested in repairs, consider joining the Repair Club group that will start to become the home for repair related events & chat, and for collaborations across the two organisations.

If you are interested to try streaming a talk or event, or videoing a story, training or alike (see our youtube.makespace.org channel for some first examples), email events-club@makespace.org and we’ll help make it happen!
