Umbrella Repair Workshop

10:00am - 4:30pm
Room 4582, lifts 29-30

Isn't it a pity to throw away your umbrella just because of minor damages after use under strong wind and heavy rain? You might have some umbrellas that can be reused if they are repaired. Why not learn the skills and repair them yourself?
