LETS


Hi all
I'm sending this to people who I know are part of our amazing E17 and Waltham Forest networks and would be grateful if you could forward it... 

As you may know, Waltham Forest LETS is a cashless trading scheme for people living in Waltham Forest. It's an amazing scheme which enables people to exchange skills and items using the currency of 'Beams' through an online account. See: www.wflets.org 

Regular trades include things like: catering for a party, advising on DIY or finances, 'renting out' tools or computer equipment, cooking freezer meals for someone, gardening buddies, designing a leaflet, providing life coaching, pet-sitting, art classes, purchasing gifts, and much more - see http://bit.ly/V0P0Al  for ideas. In these cash-strapped times, it's an amazing scheme that helps us save cash and build supportive local networks. 

We thought we'd start the new year off well with a bit of 'out with the old, in with the new' - especially useful for recycling some of those not-quite-right Xmas presents or things that you've found in a new year clear-out!
Come along to our New Year 'LETS Trade!' with any items you'd like to auction to other members for Beams on Sat 19th January from 2-4pm. 
If you're not a member yet, just come along and you can sign up on the day if you want to - £8 for lifetime membership (£5 for non-waged). 

If you don't have anything to bring along, don't worry - you can buy at the auction without selling, or just watch others bid - it's always good fun. 

Deryl will be our trusty auctioneer and boy can she drive an exciting bidding war! She's also available to give pool lessons if you fancy some top tips! 

If you'd also like to trade some skills on the day (chair massage for instance is always popular!), please let me know. 

We'll be meeting in the back room of Ye Olde Rose and Crown, 55 Hoe St, Walthamstow E17 4SA 2-4pm. It will be an informal meet up where people can have a drink and a chat - and do bring along any friends who'd like to enrol. 

Enrolment and meet other members: 2-3pm. Auction 3-4pm. 

Contact us on info@wflets.org if you have any queries. 

See you there!
Sue Wheat
Chair
