I've got a few awkward things to fix, so visited Penge Men in Sheds website, to hear of the Beckenham Repair cafe. The concept of the latter is to repair and reuse rather than throw away.  I went today, It was buzzing and I was most impressed.  I'm not sure if there are nearer facilities.  I'll post on the Whats on part of the forum the next time the Repair Cafe is open.  Have others any experience in these community projects?  Are there closer ones than Penge and Beckenham?

Thanks all.  A colleague from many moons ago has joined one, and they have pretty sophisticated equipment.  I don't think they operate like a repair cafe where they do multiple small jobs.  MIS appear to do bigger community projects as well as help reduce isolation (sorry if that sounds a bit patronising, but others can maybe explain better)

    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT). 
    • Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything 
    • The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
