Request: Projector lamp A1 240V 150W (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) In time-honoured fashion, the bulb blew just at the start of the slideshow. Does anyone happen to have a spare of this sort of projector lamp? I understand that it's Type A1, 240 Volts, 150 Watts, with a BA15S bayonet-type base. Sylvania (maker) refers to it as 'blue top' for pretty obvious reasons.

Free: Two Metposts 3" (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Gifted Two Metposts with 3" sockets; a little scruffy but essentially sound; will need new bolts & nuts. Stored in the dry, so no bad corrosion. Note that I will ask you to telephone to arrange collection.

Free: 6-berth frame tent (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Expired PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. I have an elderly but complete 6-berth frame tent, which I acquired for use as a temporary workshop, although it has been used for camping. It's mostly brown and orange, and resembles the one in the photo. It needs-re-proofing (I may be able to help) and there is some repaired damage to a window. All poles are colour-coded for ease of assembly. There is no groundsheet except in the hanging sleeping compartment. Pegs and guy lines were all present when last inspected. It won't impress fellow-campers at its age but is basically respectable to behold. If you want to see it unfolded and/or erected, you'll have to promise to help pack it away again. I want the space it's taking up and perhaps somebody else needs some short-term covered space or a playroom for the kids.
