Free: Girl’s bike (renovation project) (Beckley OX3) Withdrawn Rocky Ridge Probike - not able to be ridden away as it’s been in the shed for several years, but a nice renovation project for someone. Would suit teenager-sized person. Please let me know when you can collect (early evenings are best).

Free: Metal acrow prop (Beckley OX3) Gifted Very heavy metal acrow prop (I think that’s what they’re called), the things which are used to hold up ceiling when your walls are being knocked down. I can’t answer any questions about it, I found it at the back of the garage when clearing it out. You’ll need to be strong, I can barely lift it 🤣.

Request: Cobbles (please) (Beckley OX3) Received I am renovating a pebble/fountain feature in the garden and would be grateful for any cobbles (stones roughly around tennis ball size, as per photo) you may wish to part with. Can collect anywhere around Oxfordshire - thank you very much!

Request: Mah Jong set (Beckley OX3) Expired I’ve recently learnt to play Mah Jong at a U3A group, and would love my own set to continue playing. If anyone has a set they no longer use, I would be so pleased to re-home it. Can collect from anywhere - thank you!

Free: Westwood ride on mower (not working, restoration project) (Beckley OX3) Gifted Old Westwood ride on mower, which is non working and is either a restoration project or maybe even only worth weighing in for scrap. It did work last time it was fired up, but that was years ago and it has been outside since. You will need to drag it across approx 50 yards of rough ground to get to the driveway, and it is heavy and has flat tyres but does move and steer okay. I cannot assist, sorry. Does anyone fancy the challenge? Collection ideally on Sunday morning, we are outside the ring road.

Request: 2 panes of greenhouse glass 24”x18” (Beckley OX3) Received I’ve broken two panes of glass in my greenhouse - please do you have any 24”x18” panes? Can collect when convenient for you. Thank you!

Free: Men’s Carrera bike (Beckley OX3) Gifted Men’s bike, ridden only a handful of times but stored in a garage for several years. It will need servicing, and the tyres are flat (and will probably need replacing) so you will need a vehicle to take it away as it is not fit to be ridden. We are outside the ring road. Please say why you would like it and when you can collect - Sunday morning would be ideal.

Request: Fresh kefir (milk) grains (Oxford OX4) Received Please does anyone have a spare spoonful or two of surplus fresh milk kefir grains I could collect? I am keen to try making my own kefir.
