Hi Notts Hackspace members,

It was suggested by admin that I post these to the group to see if anyone can use these items for any of their projects/needs: 

- four small castor wheels
- plastic piece from a hoover that would have been used to store accessories
- brown paper bags that would have been for a hoover
- large cardboard tube with covers on each end (7 ft long, 8 inch diameter)

Hopefully you can see the attached photos.

We do have a box for random casters that might be useful at the space. However if you are not member or know a member it will be difficult to get them to us. These sort of casters are quite common so they are  not worth a special trip.  The hackspace has no use for the other items however individuals may be interested.
Thank you for thinking about us.

I live nearish to the city centre, so I should be able to bring them to an open hack night if that helps? I could combine it with picking up food nearby. I'd just need to know the date of the next open hack. I'm not really going into venues for long, so it would just be to drop off the wheels.

There isn't an open hack night happening and I've just had a freecycle person mess me around. My partner said that it would all be going to the bin if it became too difficult. As much as it pains me, that's what's happening now.

I ended up taking the wheels to Nottinghack on one of the tour nights so they were added to the box of them there.
