IN a nutshell, I am administrating our local community exchange scheme, and I wish to build this up: my requirement for your free session is simply that you participate in this! - I will only ask you £15 (at the door) for covering my real-life costs: Room rental and petrol money... some things still do need money.

 

This is free - no membership - and is a very exciting project.

 

Please read on and explore - Once you join in, register at "Glastonbury Community Exchange" and find me to request a session! You NEED to live locally, so that I may benefit from what you have / friends have to offer! That's how I will ultimately get 'paid' for my service.

The Community Exchange System (CES) is a web service that provides the tools for communities to set up and manage exchange and trade in their areas without using money. It also provides communities with a network that permits them to trade with other communities, wherever they are in the world.

​

The main object of the CES is to facilitate trade and exchange by providing a range of non-monetary exchange tools. This helps to build community by connecting people and providing a local support network.

​

By ‘trade’ we mean the normal activities of providing goods and services by ‘givers’, ‘producers’, ‘sellers’ or ‘providers’, and the receiving of these by ‘buyers’, ‘customers’, ‘clients’, ‘patients’, ‘consumers’, ‘receivers’, etc.

​

The CES serves two basic functions:

1. it is an online platform that facilitates exchange in a number of different ways

2. it is an online ‘marketplace’ where users can advertise their skills, offerings and requirements
