Local: There are about a dozen LETSchemes in London in various stages
of development - click relevant borough in home page - each scheme
has its own ethos, local character, and joining procedure - some
have restricted geographical access, but there is no reason why
you should not join more than one eg, where you live, where you
work, and London-wide for access to more specialised services.
London-Wide: As far as we are aware LETSlink London is the only
formal regional networking service to have been established in the
UK. There is also a lively network for LETS organisers in the Southwest.
If you wish to trade (using the new currency "links") in the London-wide
Lets scheme, which is still in the design and development stage
under the auspices of Letslink London, please send £10 if you are
an individual (or £25 if you are an organisation) to Letslink London,
12 Southcote Road, London N19 5BJ with your address, phone number
and e-mail address and tell us what goods and services you would
like to offer in the scheme, and if you have any urgent requests.
You
can now also JOIN online.
Other areas: LETSlink UK is a coordinating and advisory service
founded by Liz Shephard in April 1991: they hold details of all
known LETS groups in the UK - contacts are available via www.letslinkuk.net.
For a basic booklet please send £1.50 as a cheque or stamps. For
the Info-pack on how to start a group, send £10. Membership is £25
per annum, to Letslink UK c/o 12 Southcote Rd, London N19 5BJ.
