The Fenwick Weavers' Society was a professional association created in the village of Fenwick, East Ayrshire, Scotland in 1761. In 1769, the society formed a consumer co-operative for the benefit of members. The original purpose of the society was to foster high standards in the weaving craft, but activities later expanded to include collective purchasing of bulk food items and books. The latter resulted in the creation of the Fenwick Library in 1808. This practice of collective purchasing for the benefit of members has led many to consider Fenwick Weavers' Society the first co-operative.

  • A Fenwick Weavers 'Society foi uma associação profissional criada na vila de Fenwick, East Ayrshire, Escócia, em 1761. Em 1769, a sociedade formou uma cooperativa de consumidores em benefício dos membros. O objetivo original da sociedade era promover altos padrões no artesanato de tecelagem, mas as atividades posteriormente se expandiram para incluir a compra coletiva de itens e livros a granel. O último resultou na criação da Biblioteca Fenwick em 1808. Essa prática de compra coletiva em benefício dos membros levou muitos a considerar a Fenwick Weavers 'Society a primeira cooperativa. A Sociedade foi reconvocada em março de 2008 e foi reconstituída como cooperativa, na forma jurídica como sociedade industrial e previdente, a fim de registrar, coletar e comemorar a herança dos Fenwick Weavers.
