The Guildford group has switched a while back, no idea why, must have been some sort of falling out.

You can still register on Guildford Freecycle, 74 members at the moment, but nothing like the14,000 now of Freegle.

Edinburgh changed in July. Something to do with the "mother" company in uSA being too directive and insisting they all had to stick with the US model.

The name would have changed as they're not allowed to use the Freecycle name if they're no longer affiliated.
