	Nimber https://www.nimber.com/ generated by far the greatest number of posts on a single topic in February with a lot of heartfelt opinions expressed on both sides. Those in favour thought it important in principle to be able to offer a delivery option for members, while those against were concerned, among other things, about what would happen if a collection/delivery failed. If a link-up between Freegle and Nimber IS negotiated, groups will be able to opt out if they wish.
