Large noticeboard / plastic sheet (Kendal LA9)
Received
Looking for a (very) large "noticeboard" for pinning or sticking adverts to. It's for your friendly local community bicycle repair space in the town centre (the Cyclery at the Eddington CIC) to advertise bikes that other people are looking for or trying to sell. A large sheet of soft plastic (that we can roll up and easily bring inside) would be perfect... Thanks for looking!

Anybody need one of these? White, with external measurements 303 x 404mm and internal 243 x 298mm. Possibly just the thing to insert around a not-so-big image in a big photo frame...

Metal lids from beer bottles (Kendal LA9)
Gifted
Colourful and no doubt useful to someone! 159 in great condition, plus 12 rather damaged (smaller cluster on R in the photo showing all lids). Possibly time to rethink my habits... though some of the beers were consumed by others 😅. If asking for these, please tell me why you want them. Ta.

40th birthday celebration stuff? (Kendal LA9)
Expired
Hello all! Does anyone happen to have any shiny, colourful birthday banners - ideally for a 40th birthday celebration - perhaps used once and now languishing in a drawer somewhere? And/or balloons? If so I'd love to collect them today, please (Sunday 3rd August)! Just thought I'd ask on the offchance, before going out to buy some (which have been requested, but no doubt they'll be non-recyclable and made of plastic... boooooo). Thanks in advance, Jenny

Old, working mobile phone (Kendal LA9)
Received
Hello all. Would anyone happen to have an old mobile phone, please, that they haven't got around to disposing of and isn't worth selling? Ideally unlocked (as regards mobile network) or - even better! - EE network? It doesn't need to be "smart", as long as it can do texts and calls. Thank you very much for any rummaging!

Twinings "dark mint" tea (Kendal LA9)
Gifted
Only half a dozen used out of a box of 40. Best before Jan 2023 but still has masses of minty flavour. I personally don't enjoy the black tea base... but could it be "just your cup of tea"? :)

Request:
Large-ish pan lid (Kendal LA9)
Expired
Hello folks, Does anyone have a large pan lid that's surplus to requirements, please? I could do with one for a pan with diameter 11 inches /28cm, so anything that size or a bit bigger would be great. Things take forever to cook in said pan at the moment, as I can't keep the steam in. Thanks in advance for looking! Jenny

Compost bin, no base or lid (Kendal LA9)
Gifted
As shown, black plastic cylinder that must have been a compost bin once upon a time, but is incomplete. It has a door panel at the bottom, so should function fine in the right spot with a couple of additions to serve as a base and lid!

Black crate with round holes in (Kendal LA9)
Expired
Hi all... I don't know what this item is for (as it appeared on our recycling shelves for the pixies to dispose of) but would anyone like it? It's very sturdy plastic, 20 inches long x 16 wide x 15 deep. Not watertight at present, as one of the round holes is at the bottom. Kinda curious to know what it is!

Mini-USB to USB-A lead (Kendal LA9)
Received
I've recently been using a brilliant (quite old) teeny speaker, and it'll need charging soon, but I realise I don't have any leads that fit it! It takes a Mini-USB lead (the kind that would fit the socket in the photo). Does anyone have such a lead they no longer need, please, ideally with a "normal" USB-A on the other end (the type that fits into a mains plug head to stick in the wall socket)? Thank you very much if so!

Humidity and temperature loggers (Kendal LA9)
Gifted
Two available... These are to place in an environment whose relative humidity and temperature pattern you want to monitor. For example, a room with damp or that is hard to heat, or if you're dying to know how much extra moisture goes into the air when you hang washing up :) They record data over hours, days, weeks, and then you plug them into a computer USB slot to generate graphs from them. Instructions provided. N.B. Only one of the two has a battery, and it's an unusual battery so you'd probably need to order one for the second logger.

"Natural" shampoos (Kendal LA9)
Expired
Does anyone have any sulphate-free / silicon-free / plant-based shampoos that they've perhaps tried and didn't get on with for whatever reason? E.g. non-lathering types, solid bar types? If so I'd love to know what your experience was, and maybe take off your hands any you have left that you're unlikely to use! Thanks in advance, Jenny

Bicycle saddle bag (Kendal LA9)
Received
Hi all... By any chance, does anyone have an unwanted saddle bag that fits under the rear of a bicycle seat, please? Just a small thing that attaches to the saddle and seatpost, to hold a few tools and a spare inner tube during a bike ride. I can collect, of course... Thank you in advance for any offers :)
