Re: Freecycle

Just in case anyone from Blackburn area is reading here.

The Blackburn With Darwen Yahoo group fro Freecycle is about to close.
Instead all members are asked to go to the Freecycle.org website and sign up for what is called "my freecycle" and the "new" site that the Freecycle Network are hoping to replace Yahoo with.

IMO the whole new site (which is a beta & still in development) as naff in comparison to the Yahoo groups. There is absolutely no help with it & the current moderator of BwD is no help whatsoever.
The whole of BwD appears to be going to the dogs & I can see a great many of the current 3000 members not bothering to sign up with it.

I can also see that they will instead try joining the neighbouring Hyndburn group.
(And we have decided that we will welcome them).

I have to say though, there has only been 1 admin email about this & the group closes on the 27th.
A pathetic way to organise a whole groups moving IMO.
