Riverside Lodge Dorset Website for LETS Member Katy Murrell
LETS Member Katy Murrell made full use of the services offered on Dorchester & South Dorset LETS, to help her set-up her new self catering holiday cottage business. Fellow LETS member Steve Atkins offers his talents to our members as a professional Photographer, and he took some beautiful photos of Katy’s holiday cottage Riverside Lodge which are used on the website and brochure.
Check out the new Riverside Lodge website and photos at www.riversidelodgedorset.co.uk which was created by another LETS member (our very own Web Manager!) Anna Celeste Watson. There are several other members offering web services on LETS too!
For details of Steve’s photography work visit his website www.steveatkinsphotography.com.

Dorchester LETS needs more members and a wider public awareness of our existence. One way of publicising the group is to get more articles in the local paper – and one way to get an article accepted is to have an interesting story to relate with some some kind of ’spin’ on it. Green issues are also hot on the minds of the public and the press, so more of your green stories wanted please! If you have any interesting or unsual trading stories please write an article and send it to us to forward onto the press – you can also post any of your trading stories below.

You’ve heard of the “Garden Shed Gang”, now we can reveal the “Shed Gang”, though “gang” doesn’t seem to do justice to the great teamwork and creativity exhibited when we moved Pam’s 6′ x 8′ shed in May 2008 in one piece!!! Our skilled effort was duly rewarded with a beer and biscuits – plus the pleasure of more LETS social intercourse! Good experience guys – thank you Andy, Matt, Rob and of course Pam.
