We have now decided to now make our Local Exchange Trading Open Day at The United Church Hall on South Street in Dorchester on Saturday 4th April 2009 (between 10am – 4pm), FREE FOR EVERYONE TO ENTER!!!
We hope this will encourage even more of the public to come and see what Dorchester & South Dorset LETS is all about, and hope to see many of you there with us – and please tell all your friends and family to join us for a great day out too!
The Dorchester & South Dorset LETS Core Group have been extremely busy over the last couple of months planning our AGM & Trading Day for April 2009 and publicising it!!!
It looks like it will be a great day – so if you are not a member already or you are a member and want to meet and trade with other members, then come along to our Local Exchange Trading Open Day at The United Church Hall on South Street in Dorchester on Saturday 4th April 2009 between 10am – 4pm, and see what’s on offer.
There will be trading stalls, demonstrations, a Quality Clothes ‘Swap-Shop’, you can Measure Your Carbon Footprint and they’ll be an Art Exhibition, a Children’s Art Project, plus home made lunches, cakes and snacks for sale… as well as some music entertainment!
Everyone is welcome.
ENTRANCE IS NOW FREE FOR EVERYONE!!!
All our LETS members are also invited to our Annual General Meeting at 4pm. It will be your chance to help decide how our LETS is run and to agree on our new Constitution, which you will be sent very soon to look at in advance of the AGM.
MEMBERS: Please see your recent Mini-Newsletter for full details of stalls, the programme etc.
Have you seen our new LETS flyers and posters out and about over South Dorset with our new logo?!
Did you also see the large half page article on Dorchester & South Dorset LETS in the Dorset ECHO this week (Wednesday 18th March 2009)?! Thanks to Freelance Journalist and LETS member Julie Loyd who sent a press release to local papers, our LETS is finally getting more of the attention it deserves, and of course with the Credit Crunch, our LETS really is even more important to our community than ever. Hopefully other local newpapers and radio stations will realise the significance of our LETS too.
Our upcoming AGM & Trading Day on April 4th in South Street Dorchester will be getting some press coverage too! : )
Many thanks to Extemplo On-Demand Media Solutions in Dorchester for sponsoring the printing of our new publicity and only charging expenses – in the spirit of LETS!
Thanks also to Studio401 print design in Sherborne who designed our new logo through exchanged trading with LETS member Anna Celeste Watson – also in the spirit of LETS!
Dorchester & South Dorset LETS also gratefully acknowledge the contributions and support from Dorchester Town Council, which were granted to us in 2008 to help pay towards printing and events – in recognition of the potential of LETS for economic and social development within the community.
