JOINING: Individual
or Group Membership of LETSlink UK
LETSlink UK is
moving into a new phase. When we began in 1991 we aspired
towards information-sharing but depended on photocopy and
postage. However, we now have the technical means to enable
more immediate participation. Benefits of LETSlink UK membership
include: automated referral of new enquiries from
the national website, national resource exchange and intertrading,
lower attendance fees at regional and national events,
as well as the opportunity to volunteer or vote for regional
trustees on the Board of LETSlink UK. We are in the
process of drafting a new Constitution.
LETSlink provides
web-based systems and development services to member-groups
only, including management advice, graphic design, web-hosting,
and technical support and training. We tailor our work to
match your specific requirements and budget, and are also
looking to facilitate peer-to-peer support. If you are looking
to join LETSlink UK, please in the first instance, look
for a local group to join, by following the Map
Links.
Benefits of membership
include inclusion in news broadcasts and survey reports,
access to our Discussion Forum, preferential rates at Conferences.
Subscriptions are the same as in 1998 - £25 per annum,
we have also introduced a sliding scaleof fees from £10
individual, £25 group, to £50 funded and £100
for funded organisaions You can add back payments if you
have funds available. Likewise well-funded organisations
may contribute more than the minimum. However, if you are
in financial difficulties, we will take your circumstances
into account.
We are planning to manage this process by means of our own
uk-wide LETS currency - operating through a series of hubs,
to provide maximum flexibility - look out for updates on
this. Meanwhile, joining fees may be sent to
LETSlink UK, 12 Southcote Road, London N19 5BJ. Tel:
