Request:
Tent (Temple Street OX4)
Withdrawn
I'd be very grateful for a tent (ridge tent?) - height at the middle about 1.5-1.8m (5-6'), length about 2.2m (7'), and width about 1.2-1.5m (4-5'). Not canvas for weight reasons. I'm going to be teaching music to children at a festival and am now too old and stiff to use my old tent. I could collect within or near Oxford ring road from 5 June.

Timber - interior (Temple Street OX4)
Gifted
Mostly 50x75mm, different lengths: 2150mm, 1920mm, 1730mm - 3 pieces, 1570mm. Also one piece 45x45x1679mm All are studded with screws and nails. They'll be easy to remove but mean you need gloves for handling. This timber comes from a shop-fit but has been under a tarp outside, so is humid and will need drying.
