INTRODUCTION
From the book cooperative identity (1998) “the modern cooperative movement began England during the fist part of the nineteenth century. There were many years of experimentation, and many failed attempts, before a successful cooperative was established. The turning point came in 1944 when the first successful cooperative, called the Rochdale, an industrial town close to Manchester. The society was registered under the friendly societies Act. On October 28th 1844, but the shop did not open for business until December 21st 1944. This cooperative shop, established 155 years ago, continues to exist and proper up to the present day.”
They started with an intensive pre-member education program based on weekly discussion meetings lasting several months. During these meetings, they drafted their regulations which they later implemented with tenacity of purpose. They participated actively and democratically in the running of their society. Everyone bought shares of one pound each and bought their supplies from the shop in cash according to their rules. Their officials were honest, highly committed and fully accountable. They kept strict account of every transaction and declared their balance sheet quarterly. Their methods led them to success and they became a model for cooperatives all over the world.”
