Free: Canon scanner Canoscan 2400F (North Hinksey OX2) This has no power cable, so I can't test it to see whether it's working. However, power cables are apparently available on the web - eg , at a cost of around £9. The scanner is also quite old - Canon don't offer a current driver, but there are a number of articles on the internet which gives advice on how to run it on Windows 11. The scanner makes copies of photos and documents, with the white surface in place (2nd photo) and it also has the capability of scanning slides and transparencies, with the white surface removed as seen in the 3rd photo.

Request: Philips blender jug (North Hinksey OX2) Expired I have a Philips blender that has both a small grinding unit (shown in the picture) and a jug, which I broke and threw away some months ago. I now find I miss the blender jug and would very much like to find another. The blender is very old (the model number is HR1375/A) and Philips stopped stocking spares a long time ago. I hope that someone might have the jug that they no longer use. If so, I'd give it a good home! Many thanks...

Request: Wood pallet (North Hinksey OX2) Received We made a wood store some years ago with pallets for the walls, and one of the pallets has had a branch fall on it. We'd like to find a replacement, of approximate size 190cm x 110cm. We can collect.

Free: Large piece of Norway maple (North Hinksey OX2) Gifted We have a piece of Norway maple tree trunk (see photos) which we don't need. It's too big and heavy to lift and will have to be cut with a chain saw before it can be chopped in to logs (which wouldn't be ready to use until next winter). This wood is available for anyone who would like to cut it and take it away.

Free: Norway Maple wood (North Hinksey OX2) Gifted We've had a large Norway Maple tree cut down and have a number of slices of tree trunk. We wonder whether these might be of interest to a woodworker, or someone else. The photos give an indication of the size.
