Free: Hazel stakes (Chieveley RG20) I've been coppicing and have quite a few stakes of varying thicknesses, straightness and length= all over 5ft. Environmentally friendly alternative to bamboo and should last longer. Need side branches (twigs) cutting off at site or when you get them home.

Request: Quality Street Tubs (Hermitage RG18) They make great feed dishes for my ducks. Not that I don't like other chocolates, but the shape helps them stay in corners. Not expecting to receive full ones, but please note that it's not worth travelling far to pick up.

Free: 12 V electric fence energisers (Hermitage RG18) Expired A selection of ones that have died in use. Likely repairable and could then sell on ebay. I want these to go as a job lot to get them out of the way.

Free: Electric fence twine (Chieveley RG20) Expired White, I forget how many wire strands. 100m cut into two lengths slightly more than 25m and two lightly less. Comes with the four 3ft posts that it's currently wrapped around. Good condition- not that old. Also other, older lengths in orange.

Free: Wire mesh suitable for aviaries/ rabbit protection (Chieveley RG20) Expired I forget what gauge, but square mesh, galvanised ~1cmx2cm holes. Two ~3m by 1m lengths. The main problem however is that ~1/4 the width was placed on grass that has grown up through it so lots of adherent grass and soil needs knocking off. Located at Chieveley.

Free: Freeview recorders (Hermitage RG18) Expired Two Humax PVR 9300Ts that have minor faults, plus a newer model that doesn't work at all. All with remote controls and power cables but not sure I can find instructions. Could be sold on ebay, I just can't be bothered. Not sure why this got marked as taken- I was exchanging messages with someone but he went quiet.

Free: Ladies folding bike (Chieveley RG20) Expired Raleigh stowaway, blue. Fits me (5ft) plus. 26in wheels I think. Folds in half only for transport. Only one gear but works absolutely fine as it was regularly serviced until I got it.

Free: Electric Lawn Scarifier (Chieveley RG20) Gifted Really efficient when it works. But it was rather gummed up when I tried starting it this year and now sounds like the motor's turning but the hooks aren't= broken belt? But I can't see how to get in and look at it even if I wanted to. But if you're into fixing such things... Qualcast I think. Advertised previously on Newbury with no success.

Free: Bose Sound System (Hermitage RG18) Gifted Spares or repair. Old one (no longer supported by manufacturer) with radio, single and multiple (5CD) players. The single CD never worked, and the 5CD player has now failed. It still had my CDs in it, so I'd like them back! Dirty cream

Request: Flat footballs/ small beachballs (Hermitage RG18) Expired My dog likes playing but is no good at retrieving, and chews things to pieces, so I need something that I can see in the long grass or don't mind losing. The other day he found someone's half-inflated "toy" football and loved it, so I'd like to get him something similar of his own- the other dog's evidently retrieved his. Hermitage/ Chieveley/ Newbury- environmentally, it's not worth going much out of my way for. Thanks in advance from Koby
