Cashmobs

Saturday's cashmob - Ringmer's first - was very successful, with more than a dozen people turning out to support Lew's butchers.

The purpose of the cashmob is explained in more detail a couple of posts back, but basically the idea is to have some fun and to support local shops. This first one was an experiment to see if it worked and if there was enthusiasm for repeating the idea. There clearly was, so we will be meeting again in the shopping precinct in about a month's time - more details will follow. It was also notable from my extremely unscientific survey that people were keen to spread the benefits of the cashmob to local outlets other than those in the shopping precinct, which is good news for all of our local retailers.
