This year we are going to be making some changes to the way in which our Membership system and the Creative Waste Exchange interact. In the past we have always (with the exception of special open days) required that those who wish to buy from the Creative Waste Exchange become Community Members. In light of recent feedback and a recent increase in individual one-time buyers we are going to change the rules to allow non-members to make purchases from the Creative Waste Exchange starting from this month. Before you wonder, as a member, what good this will do for you, take note… from now on community members will be getting a 20% discount on all Creative Waste Exchange purchases.
Essentially what this means is that non-members will now be able to purchase items from the Exchange without joining, while new and existing Aberdeen Forward members will be able to buy at a reduced rate. This gives you a nice incentive to become a member, but allows you to just pay slightly more and buy that one item you wanted without having to pay a full membership if you only want to purchase a one-off piece of furniture. So if you have friends who always wanted to come down and buy something but did not want to pay for membership, spread the word!
