WE'VE MOVED
This is to let you know about some important changes to this group. We've changed our name and moved to a different place on the web.
We are now called st_albans_reuse and you'll find us here ...
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/st_albans_reuse
We're still dedicated to keeping things out of land fill, and we're still operating in the same way with the original moderators keeping things running smoothly.
The main reason for the change is to allow recycling groups in the UK to operate independently of the Freecycle Network in the US and to develop the service in a way that's better suited to UK conditions. The decision was taken reluctantly after some long negotiations. Many of the UK groups will be making similar changes following the recommendations of the committee representing UK moderators.
What will it mean for you, as a member of the group? Well, apart from the new name, there will be very little difference. The operating principles will remain the same and the group will continue to work in the same way it always did.
We would ask you to go to our new homepage as soon as you can and join the new group. Just click on "Join this group" in the top corner. We'll aim to process your membership as quickly as possible. If you've posted anything recently on the old group, we invite you to post it again on the new one so that everyone can see it.
Over the next few days you may get emails from other people inviting you to join various other groups. Of course, it's your choice as to what you do. But I would encourage you to stick with the great community that we've developed together over the past few years.
With best regards, Bob and the Moderating team
