How do I join?

Everyone who approaches with goodwill is welcome.

In order to join the LETS group you must do three things:

1. Attend a New Members Meeting. (No, you cannot just sign-up and start trading.) In some groups an alternative arrangement is a one-to-one interview and training procedure.

2. Read, agree to and sign the Members Agreement. This is a legally binding agreement and is enforcable in law. Read it carefully.

3. Offer at least one skill in the Members Directory to other members. Think about what you love doing, not just what you do to earn money. The local currency economies are far more varied, creative and stress-free than conventional money. Have fun.

We ask everyone who would like to join to attend a New Member Meeting, so that we can meet you, give you the opportunity to meet other prospective members, explain how we run the scheme, and give you the opportunity to ask questions that you might have about LETS. Membership forms will be available at the meeting for you to fill out, or you may be able complete a form online.

We ask for a one-time joining fee £10 but if this is a problem please let us know. There will also be a small regular monthly fee, at present equivalent to one LETS unit, in order to provide a fund to pay for administrative work.
