Dear Emily, In response to your email about the surplus mobile shelving, I wanted to mention a new Freecycle section called 'Museum Freecycle', dedicated to freecycling heritage materials. Museum Freecycle now has more than 260 members around the UK. Materials that have been freecycled include polytunnels, display cases, shelving, racking and unwanted exhibition material. My personal favourite item has been 9 red carpets (various lengths!) I'm not sure whether the mobile shelving has now gone, but in case your colleagues don't get any takers, it might be an idea to point them at https://groups.freecycle.org/group/MuseumFreecycleUK/posts/all With best regards, Nick Nick Poole Chief Executive Officer Collections Trust Join Collections Trust's Collections Management Group Follow us on Twitter Like us on Facebook www.collectionstrust.org.uk.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Emily Naish Sent: 15 December 2014 11:47 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Surplass Mobile Shelving Dear Colleagues I'm am posting this message on behalf of another heritage organisation in Salisbury. The organisation concerned has mobile shelving installed on the ground floor of an outbuilding which they wish to refurbish. The shelving is no longer required and they would, if possible, like it to be reused rather than scrapped. The unit is in very good condition, being approximately 15 years old, the manufacturer is unknown. At present I only have basic information and some photographs. There are 3 mobile sections and 1 static section. Each unit is 6 bays long with 9 shelves per bay. The unit it tall, I would estimate about 9 feet high. If anyone is interested please email me and I can send photos and obtain further details re measurements etc. As I understand at present, there would be no charge but disassembly and transport would be the responsibility of the recipient.
