LETS holds trade day

A trade day will be held on Saturday, August 13, organised by Central Coast Local Exchange Trading System, to allow members to trade services and goods without money.

The trade day will be held at the Woy Woy Environment Centre from 11am to 1pm, following a meeting from 10am to 11am.

Central Coast LETS is a not-profit system set up to encourage local trading by members providing services to other members.

This can be anything from fixing a fence, to baking a cake, or walking the dog.

Goods such as children's toys and clothing can also be traded.

The group has businesses involved, including printers, counsellors and training organisations.

Members are given a 1000 debit and credit limit of the local currency, called shells, and can begin trading straight away.

There are regular market days to allow members to meet face to face and promote trading.
