<br>
I'd add "repair service" to that.<br>
<br>
I dare say that there are many people with equipment that they'd rather repair than replace; perhaps it's of sentimental value, obscure, or very expensive to replace.<br>
<br>
I have a variety of electrical devices that are no longer fully functional, but repairing them requires resources beyond my own. I'd be willing to pay for such a service, especially since most repair shops will take on only commonplace devices. Might make for a source of interesting and rewarding projects; reuniting someone with the use of something they'd given up on, not to mention saving landfill.<br>
<br>

Hi there<br>
I have been looking for a similar activity. Glad to see people are being<br>
pro active in Swansea.<br>
1: When is the next meetup.<br>
2: Is there a plan as far as how you are going to structure the club /<br>
charity/<br>
<br>
I would also suggest taking your swansea university promotion and create<br>
a generic press release.<br>
Have you a current location to base the organisation.<br>
What have you tried so far.<br>
I live in between llandovery and Llandeilo.<br>
How many people do you have so far.<br>
I strated off in life as an electronics engineer but make a living from<br>
software development.<br>
<br>
regards<br>
Roger<br>
<br>

Monday 23rd September 7pm, likely in the Pub on the Pond again<br>
<br>
We alternate between social and technical meetings, meeting every other<br>
week.<br>
<br>

Nothing definite yet, we have had various discussions about it, and<br>
there are lots of guidelines from existing spaces, but there seems<br>
little point in formalising before we get closer to acquiring a space.<br>
<br>
> Have you a current location to base the organisation.<br>
<br>
At the moment we hold technical meetings in rooms around the university,<br>
and social meetings wherever works best, although we have members that<br>
are actively chasing some potential homes for us, but we don't have<br>
anything just yet.<br>
<br>
> How many people do you have so far.<br>
There are 57 people on the mailing list, and 73 on the facebook page,<br>
and i would guess a pool of about 15-20 people who attend meetings<br>
semi-regularly.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
