Just for general info, ignore if not helpful. There wasa LETS scheme in Norwich that was based at The Greenhouse, afaik it's still going.

hmm. interesting. how extensive was/is it? evidently not too well publicised...
Don't know too much, I just picked up a leaflet from The Greenhouse one day when I had the crazy notion that I might either have a useful skill that I could offer society, or need other peoples useful skills in exchange, neither of which was true.
You can contact Freecycle here to find out more http://uk.freecycle.org/groups/norfolk/links-misc.html or pick up an application form at The Greenhouse, if it's still based there, their website is http://www.greenhousetrust.co.uk/ and their email is info@greenhousetrust.co.uk or maybe approach LETS directly at http://www.letslinkuk.org/ where there's an enquiry form to find out about your local group, the Norwich site is http://www.norlets.org.uk but doesn't seem to work
so we were talking generally about where to go in terms of campaigns. i dont know if its a good idea to put just an open thread up on the forum, cos we'll probably just generate a shitload of ideas without taking them anywhere; but meh.
1. more end fuel poverty stuff. info? action?
2. set up official LETS-style skillsharing/ service sharing network.
3. more unionising stuff! like distroing stuff your boss leaflets, trying to work with disident NHS workers?
ideas?
