  A Place to Go ... and a Place to Come Back From 

Computer Warehouse and Workshop


Every Wednesday, local computer buffs gather at "The Shed" to tinker with the donated computers, free of the inihibitions of everyday life (that means they can fart in comfort!) and enjoy the company of other local men.

Some days, we get a working computer ready for loading with a General Public Licence setup ... and other days, we get nothing.

What is guaranteed is that the men have a good time and everyone learns something significant. All men in the area are invited to call in.

Can you fix my computer?

Of course we can. However, it must be understood that we are a group of volunteers and can offer no timeframes or warranties - and you will be expected to support the cause. If your machine has broken down, bring it along for a diagnostic check ... and some free advice.

Can I Buy Used Equipment From You?

No you cannot. We are not a store - we are a voluntary community group
... and once again there can be no warranty on anything that leaves the workshop. However, a donation to purchase tools and test equipment could prise some components from the shed.



Don't Send that obsolete computer stuff to the Tip

Bring it to our Computer Recycling Workshop and we will salvage it to make a computer for someone who doesn't have one.
