  Cirencester LETS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
LETS is firmly based in the community and should encourage local talent, enterprise and co-operation.
LETS is based on a local unit of barter - in Cirencester this is called a Corinium, which approximates to £1.
There is a once only sterling charge of £5 (£7.50 for joint membership) when you join, and an annual membership fee of 10 Coriniums (16 for joint membership).

 Rosneath Farm - Design - LETS
LETS credits do not earn interest, and the system works on trust - you are being trusted by the community to earn credits to counter a debit balance.
Generally LETS work is paid at fairly "flat" rates, although it is always up to the parties to any one transaction to negotiate that particular trade.
LETS makes things very simple, and removes the common friction point of someone not doing as much as is expected when common property work is organised around "everyone will do four hours a week" ideas.

 Transaction Net: Local Exchange Trading Systems - LETS
Given that there is no interest on LETS currency, the built-in incentive to discount the future found in national currencies is reduced, but not reversed.
LETS money (like ROCS and Time Dollars) is created as mutual credit: Each transaction is recorded as a corresponding credit and debit in the two participants' accounts.
LETS is thus flexible enough for use in diverse communities where products or services requiring a greater variety of skills, experience, training, equipment, or risk are exchanged.

 Shirky: A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy
So there's this very complicated moment of a group coming together, where enough individuals, for whatever reason, sort of agree that something worthwhile is happening, and the decision they make at that moment is: This is good and must be protected.
There are people who cheat on their spouse but not at cards, and vice versa, and both and neither.
There are lots and lots and lots of other effects that make different bits of software interesting enough that you would want to keep more than one kind of pattern around.

 An FAQ on the LETS system
Because the local LETS credits remain in the local community, the wealth donated will circle back to the donor as a form of long-term "money back guarantee", to generate demand for the goods and services they are providing to their community.
There is a charge of a proportion of a LETS Credit per line for listings in each trading sheet (to pay the Trustee who updates the listing).
LETS gives people a chance to meet their neighbours in a new way, enriches your community life and provides you with a community support network of great strength and durability.

 Theory of LETS and Timebanks
A LETS operates by Mutual Credit (ie currency is created by the members themselves as they transact) in a local currency equivalent to the national currency.
In theory Joe can't sell his vegetables as there is no way of recording their value, but if the Timebanks issues "vouchers" these begin to accrue a monetary value.
Many LETS members prefer to work for an equal rate of pay and many schemes are either constituted on this basis or suggest a standard rate to be used as required.

 Advocate
As several observers have noted, there appears to be a habit of equating business with something that should be penalised; as though a carry-on from forced labour from which only a few at the top derived any benefits.
In an industrial climate that appears to be poisoned by a creeping disaffection with supervised labour, unreasonable acquisitiveness and even hatred of business owners of every class and ethnicity, it is all but impossible to convey the usefulness of that principle to the satisfaction of agitated workers.
There can be no doubt that it has become fashionable in some quarters  indeed it appears to be an occupation  to foster dislike for the boss.

 [No title]
LETS is simply an opportunity for people to come together and trade in a community setting.
While there are never any single smoking guns in a world so complex and interwoven, it's clear that when people are not part of the process, they are not happy, and their dissatisfaction finds its way into the culture in an unhealthy way.
Ottawa LETS is not responsible for the value, condition, or quality of the goods and services exchanged by its members; however, the LETS Council may investigate complaints and take action to safeguard other members, if necessary.

There is also conjecture that the increased number of baited pots is attracting more sharks to the area.
Currently there are Surfrider branches all around the coast of Australia.
