Free: Full size table tennis table (Ashton-on-Ribble PR2) Gifted 25plus years old, reasonable condition (some trim needs re-gluing). Need the space in the garage now the kids have grown up. Nice table, it’s on wheels, but you’ll need a van. Decent solid stable net compared to other tables. If you half-erect it you can play against yourself (not easy if you’re any good) Brand is Cornilleau Number One.

Free: iPhone 12 case brand new in box (Ashton-on-Ribble PR2) Gifted Amazon sent this to me randomly. Their website says to keep or give away unsolicited items so that’s what I’m doing. I have opened it as the box doesn’t give much away. It’s transparent/clear.

Free: Lawn Rake (Ashton-on-Ribble PR2) Expired Working but with one teensy problem - most of the prongs/tines have broken off, so it doesn’t rake any more. I bought some replacement tines for this model from Amazon but they don’t fit. Currently trying to get my money back. Got so fed up with it that I bought a new lawn rake. So this is for spares or repair, and currently disassembled. Working motor and gear belt :-)

Free: Large fridge (Ashton-on-Ribble PR2) Gifted Tall Liebherr fridge in good working order. Kitchen refurb means that it is surplus to requirements. H=124, W=60 D=62cm Will probably need a van, estate car or horse and cart to shift it. Heavy of course.

Free: Roberts clock radio RCM1 (Ashton-on-Ribble PR2) Gifted Needs some TLC - it’s been in a dampish garage for 20 years. Mains powered LW MW and VHF with green LCD clock and some neat woodwork. The radio seems to work OK but the audio is a bit distorted- so I was going to bin it, but thought someone might like it as a do-er-upper. Any “Repair Shop” enthusiasts out there?

Free: Microwave Oven (Ashton-on-Ribble PR2) Gifted Good working order. Cooking power = 800 watts. Local brand (Morrisons!). Kitchen being refurbed - now got a built-in microwave so this one is surplus to requirements.

Free: ME 109 kit (Ashton-on-Ribble PR2) Gifted Balsa wood flying aeroplane kit …with one slight problem- looks like the propeller has been lost / used elsewhere… so if you can find/supply a 5-inch plastic prop, you could make this work. Must have got this 15 years ago for my kids… but they were more interested in Pokémon than making things.

Free: Garden Badminton set (Ashton-on-Ribble PR2) Gifted Not been used for 15-20 years. 2 racquets with covers, 2 outdoor shuttles, and my homemade net - needs some tent pegs to hold it up. Was fine for kids aged 8 to 14 ish from memory. But you need a garden with a large-ish lawn. I did have some plastic tape for marking out the “court” but can’t find it.

Free: Old iron - large metal vise (Ashton-on-Ribble PR2) Gifted Been rusting in the garden for years. Weighs a ton. Seized up. “Nandy model no G3” is written on it.
