How To Cash Up
Lots of us have been confused about the correct way to handle cash at the Common Place. Now the finance collective have written some simple instructions that should make it clear and simple enough for anyone. If you ever have to cash up, please read these instructions.
 
Please tell everyone about your group

As you can see, we've got a new website. Some of the information here has been written afresh, some has been cobbled together from the old website. What we need now is for all of the user groups, working groups, collectives, etc. to check that there's an accurate item about them. If there isn't, please write one and email it to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
