Hello, (Re: Monitor wanted) - I would like a monitor for the Foxfield Steam Railway,
Stoke on Trent (www.foxfieldrailway.co.uk), for use in the offices.
The railway is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers and,
operating on a small margin (coal, insurance, etc are increasingly
costly!), naturally struggles to purchase such items new. The monitor
would be used for admin and publicity work at the railway's
headquarters in Blythe Bridge.
I hope you consider this to be a worthwhile cause, and look forward to
hearing from you. Regards, George Denscombe
Help desperately needed for Garden Hand Tools etc
Hi, we are a charity called Beacon Employment and we work with adults and children with learning difficulties, autistic spectrum disorders and complex emotional needs. We have created a two acre site connected to a local Hotel called the Granary. We are attempting to sustain a horticulture project which aims to train our clients in skills that will lead to employment or meaningful voluntary work.
We are desperately in need of garden hand tools etc. and recently we had our only sit on mower stolen from the site that was used by our mobile service team. Any donations of garden related tools etc would be very much appreciated. We are based in Kidderminster. Thank you Kind Regards Rob Baker, Fundraising Manager

Sycamore Logs wanted - I'm a fundraiser for Folkestone RNLI, we use various means of fundraising, including running a skittle alley at various events. Wear and tear on skittles mean these need replacing frequently and they are expensive, so we need your sycamore logs! Sycamore trees are fast growing and regarded by most councils as weeds. If you have cut your sycamore tree down please consider us when getting rid of the logs if they are between 6 and 8 inches in diameter, we can have these turned into skittles at low cost. We can collect in the local area, but can only take the logs, not other cuttings. FolkestoneRNLI.nospam@btinternet.com
