A Dorking Hen
Mole Valley LETS

The Local Exchange Trading System is basically a barter scheme. But it is more sophisticated, bigger, more efficient and more effective.
The Mole Valley scheme is based on a successful system pioneered in British Columbia adapted to local needs. It is a community enterprise designed to encourage individual talent and to help the local economy.

HOW IT WORKS
Our units of exchange are called "Dorks" (our LETS began in Dorking, as Dorking LETS). LETS members have a cheque book and a regularly updated directory of the skills and goods available through the scheme.
Members pay by Dorks cheque - the cheques are sent to the LETS treasurer for inclusion in the accounts. Unlike a one-to-one barter system, LETS allows members to run up credit with one member and spend it with another.

Any goods or services can be offered or requested, and we have a Saturday trading morning every month to exchange crops, plants, seedlings, jams, etc. There is also an email list server to communicate offers, needs, for sale, and events of interest to our memberrs. The following are some of the categories included in the Directory

Domestic & Family - Transport - Business & Office Services - Goods Offered & Wanted
Creative Arts & Crafts - Gardening & Horticulture - Clothing & Textiles
Catering & Food - Therapies - Performances & Arts
Space & Accommodation - Building Services - Tuition - Health

The scheme covers the Dorking, Epsom, Leatherhead, and surrounding areas of Surrey, UK
