Local Exchange Trading Schemes (LETS)

Sounds fab! I could maybe dog sit or exchange hens eggs?

Dogsitting might well be of interest to members - considering how much it costs to put dogs in kennels when one goes off on holiday.

Eggs will DEFINITELY be of interest to peeps - worth putting on any newsletter that you "sell" them (I would suggest one LETS Credit per 6 eggs as the sorta "price" peeps would expect to pay for them) on the one hand or taken to Lets Trading Events on the other hand (ie the sort of events many Lets groups hold once every month/coupla months where members take along goods to "sell" - ie surplus garden produce/baked goods/carboot sale type goods/etc).

Basically - VERY roughly - we tend to reckon by and large that one LETS Credit equates to £1. This is very variable and is a VERY rough rule of thumb - but thats pretty much how it operates in my scheme for instance.
