Our August Trading Day at Banyo Library was more than just trading β it was a true celebration of community spirit. We had a wonderful turnout, with members old and new sharing food, ideas, and plenty of trades. The atmosphere was buzzing with conversations and the joy of connecting face-to-face.
π₯ This year, we also captured the moment by recording four short interviews with members about their favourite trades β stories that remind us of the creativity and generosity that make BrisLETS so unique. These will be shared soon so everyone can enjoy them!
Our Annual General Meeting was held and it was heartening to see so many members engaged and contributing to the direction of our community. Weβre excited to welcome our committee for 2025β26:
β’ President: Michael
β’ Secretary: Naomi
β’ Treasurer: Sally
β’ Assistant Secretary & Committee Member: Jessie
β’ Chair & Backup Committee Member: Dianne
π A big thank you to everyone who put their hand up for these important roles, and to all members who continue to support BrisLETS with your time, energy, and ideas.

The trading was lively, the shared food delicious, and the sense of community strong. Hereβs to another year of growing together β in our trades, our friendships, and our shared vision for a thriving local economy.
