Free: Large Parasol (Abingdon OX14) Gifted This is a large Parasol which is well weather worn. The main cover could be extensively cleaned and possibly returned to it's former glory. The very top cover needs repairing creatively or replacing. The main closing/opening mechanism is in working order (if slightly stiff at the very top) and it's an impressive system. The poles could do with a good scrub down. We have the base stones (four large quarter circle slabs) in our garden which can be unearthed. It's quite large and would need an estate car at least.

Free: Basketball stand/hoop (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Old but surprisingly robust and sturdy basketball hoop. 200cm to rim, 241cm to tip of backboard. It is technically adjustable to go higher, but I can't shift the necessary pin for love nor money (nor WD40). Which also means it is not detachable (unless you're handier than I am and/or have the right tools, which is very possible). So be prepared to fit the entire thing in your car in one go. We have a decent size Skoda Octavia estate and it was a tight fit.

Free: Soil (mostly top soil) (Abingdon OX14) Large amounts of soil recently dug from our garden. Mostly top soil. Take as much or as little as you'd like. Be warned there is a 20 metre pathway (all paved) from the roadside to the soil. You are free to use our shovels and wheelbarrow if you'd like. We can also lend a bulk bag for transporting in your car if you'd like, although we'd like it back at the end. Weather forecast is dry this Saturday (17th) and potentially wet on Sunday - just in case you

The net is secure (if a little weathered), and one joint has come apart (see image - this could be cable-tied together or even welded if you have the kit). It can be dismantled through interlocking poles. Collector to dismantle please (which will also help you to know how to resassmble at the other end).

Free: Old Shed (2x3m) (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Very old shed about to be dismantled. I think it's 2x3m. It's well past it's sell by date and is rotting in some corners of the floor. The roof is also beyond redemption. But if anyone can use the wood, you're welcome to it. We have tools if you want to use to help cut or dismantle to fit your car. Otherwise it goes to the tip.
