Dear NAGCR Members,

 

On behalf of the Executive Committee, I’m inviting you to join a new email list, NAGCR@groups.io, for conversations among North American ringers and friends of North American ringing. 

 

This list replaces two lists dating from 2003 and 2004 (nag-talk@yahoogroups.com and nagcr@yahoogroups.com ) that shut down on December 15, 2020 when Yahoo stopped hosting group email lists.  Members of those lists were notified of the new list in early November, 2020, so they could join before the old ones went away.  We’re now letting all members of the North American Guild of Change Ringers – that’s YOU! -  know about the list in case you’d like to join.

 

Most list members are North American ringers, but there are also members from other countries, and you don’t have to ring in order to join.  Like the old lists, the new one is  “private” (not visible to the general public), and only list members can send mail to the list.  While there hadn’t been a lot of email traffic on the old lists in recent years, they did provide a handy forum for the occasional ringing query or conversation related to North American ringing.  Maybe if more people know about and join the list, it will be used more.

 

If you want to join the list, send a blank email (no Subject or Text) to NAGCR+subscribe@groups.ioYou’ll get an email back asking you to confirm that you want to join by replying to that message.  Once your membership in the list is activated, you’ll receive a “Welcome” email and can then receive/send emails from/to the list.

 

Questions?  Let me know!

 

Yours,

Quilla  (List Admin)
