things we need!
(enABLing US TO SPEND OUR FUNDS ON ..FUN THINGS) 
WE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU GET RID OF THEM!

WANTED :  Sd memory card from 256 - 1, or 2 gig

Picture
We were recently donated a digital camera by a parent, but would like & appreciate an SD card.

As digital components & cameras demand more memory to operate we only need enough memory for a  hundred or so pictures (we estimate) so if you would all be kind enough to see if you have any SD cards that are not used by yourself anymore, we'd be pleased to take them of your hands & put them to good use!



WANTED :  LARGE DRUM WASHING MACHINE (Example)

Picture
Currently our outdoor area isn't up to much!

 We are after a defunct washing machine (eg an 8kg drum) in order to rip out the drum & use it as the main ingredient  for an outdoor fire pit (the drum contains the fire, allows good airflow & looks fantastic when lit (see picture) ..it also offers an increased element of safety over an open fire.

Perhaps you work for a skip-waste disposal company? ..if so we'd love to hear from you,all in the name of ..."reduce, re-use & recycle" 

Would make a great start to a useable outdoor area for small sausage sizzles & sing-alongs 
..without having to go further than our own doorstep!

Photo Credit to the fantastic site http://www.guyropegourmet.com/  ..his tagline being "Better than Bangers & Beans" ..a site worth a look for camping ideas & recipes galore!
If you can help please let us know via our contact form or chat to us on a meet night!


Wanted : Crafting items 

Picture
As you know we are  always keeping our eyes open for material & equipment to help our children, Your children "earn & learn" 

Could  folk please keep an eye out for low cost crafting items that commonly come with  crafting magazines, spare craft kit from a crafters clear out, coloured papers, glitters, glue, it all has a place in our kit  box & could potentially save us a small fortune!



Thanks for keeping your eyes peeled, ..one persons waste could be our treasure!


Wanted : camping equipment

Picture
We have camping equipment but can always add to our collection so do you

know someone who bought a festival kit brought it all home but will never go again?  Have it sitting in the garage taking up space?

If the answer is yes we'd love to have 1st "dibs" on any kit going spare...
