Newbie: selling shares from former Building Society

Hello all

Apologies for this rather naive question, but I am totally new to trading and wondered if this also covered stocks and shares.

When the Woolwich Building Society (in the UK) decide to become a bank, I was given a set of shares which were re-valued when the Woolwich were taken over by Barclays Bank.

I was told that the shares were worth about £2,000. I wondered how I could sell my shares and the timescale for doing so. I suppose what concerns me is that share prices can peak and whilst I am sorting out the sale, they drop and I lose out!

Any advice you can give would be most welcome.

Penny
