We’re once again planning our Christmas Makers Market. This year it is coming up on Saturday 25 November, 11am-2pm.

Save the date and come along to buy locally made gifts, have lunch and let your kids get creative with some Christmas nature craft.

If you are keen to be involved book your stall here.

The next repair workshop we are hosting will be a great one.

It runs on Saturday 21st October at 10am here at the Alphington Community Centre and costs $25.

This Bicycle Repair Workshop is an interactive, hands-on bike maintenance experience. It includes demonstrations and explanations of bicycle maintenance essentials, and opportunities for participants to practice on their own bikes.  

In the workshop you will learn:

• ABCD check: the essential safety check before every ride.

• Bike fit: how to set your seat at the correct height, and other adjustment related issues.

• Inner tube replacement: what to do when you get a flat tyre, what essentials to carry when riding.

• Puncture repair: how to use a patch-kit to patch a punctured tube (better for the environment).

• Brake adjustment: how to check and adjust your brakes, or replace brake pads as needed.

• If time allows and if it is of interest to the group, disc brake adjustment, care, maintenance, decontaminating, and pad replacement

• Chain replacement: what to do if your chain comes off during a ride.

• Drive-train clean and lube: how to keep clean and lube your drive-train to keep your bike running smoothly and extend the life of expensive components.

Book your place here. Places are limited.
