Welcome to KUTLETS

KUTLETS (Kingston Upon Thames Local Exchange Trading System) is a community-based barter system. Members pool their skills and resources to form a local network, which allows them to trade goods and services without using money. Instead of using pounds and pence, KUTLETS has its own 'currency' called 'Beaks' (named after its old home at the Beacon Centre). It was started in 1991 and is one of over 200 similar systems around the country.

Please have a look round the public areas of our site. If you like what you see then please join up.

If you would like to spend some time filling one in here is a link to download it from our site. Please send the completed document to Katherine Pang <kathey31@msn.com>. We do not get to hear the contents of any answers you may give, so be as frank as you like.
