Just a reminder about our fabulous Milton Keynes LetNet, (Local Exchange Trading Network) which was founded in1993, and has provided a forum for local trading ever since. Members trade goods and services within our community without the need for money, we are only limited by our imagination! Trades have included garden produce, complementary therapies, loan/hire of equipment, lifts, tuition, help in the garden and so much more.
It can be tricky to understand how it works, basically I might "sell" someone plums for ccs, I can then spend my ccs with anyone else on the scheme, perhaps "buying" some books! CCs are like points which are recorded in our "banking" system.
Membership is open to anybody living in the area, and allows people to trade using a local currency, CCs, as soon as they join. Members have access to a Directory (listing things offered and requested by members), and a regular newsletter; it is currently FREE to join Letnet for the first year and £5 thereafter. We hope that by giving a free trial membership people will see the value of the group.
As well as the trading aspect, we have developed a strong community with social events such as walks, meals, quizzes, pamper events, parties and trading events. We have found that it is easier for members to trade if they know other members. Take a look! If you would like to know more please do get in touch with us, you would be very welcome.
