We would like to invite you to join this emailing group, run by Charlestown history groups. The group is for anyone who is interested in local history in the area around Eastwood, Charlestown, Eaves, Mytholm and Colden.
WHY SET UP A GROUP LIKE THIS? We are a small group of people and it takes a lot of time to organise regular meetings, but we want people to be able to share finds, information sources and ideas. An emailing group will help us to do this. We will use the group to:
We know that loads of people arenít on email, so this wonít mean that we will never hold local events! Once you have joined the group, if you send an email with a query to the group email address, it will automatically go to all the group members. Similarly, if someone replies to your email, that reply will go to every group member. This is a ëclosed groupí, hosted by Yahoo Groups. The security/anti spam mechanisms that are incorporated when you join the group should mean that there is no chance of peopleís email addresses being forwarded to anyone unless they choose to do so individually. If any problems do arise, the email group has a moderator who is a member of the Charlestown History Group. Joining a Yahoo group takes a little time because of the security measures, but it is quite clear and you will get there! .We have set out the process below with some specifics, so you might want to print off this page for later reference. Start off at the Yahoo Group sign in page You have to have a Yahoo ID word and most common names or words will have gone already. If this is the case, try putting in your street name or a local landmark. Your password should be something that is easy for you to remember.
The Alternate email box is for your real email address. Once through the Yahoo sign up page, you will go to the group page type in eastwood2eaves into the box, this will take you to our site details and clicking on the heading will take you to our page. On this page, click the Join this Group button. Your details will be there, but under Message Delivery section decide on first or last option. Under email address click link (Add new email address) and insert your real address in the alternate email box, this will ensure that emails from group members go to your live email address. You will receive an email which you have to reply to. This is part of the anti spam measures. HOW DO I SEND AN EMAIL AND VIEW INFORMATION? Signing in Go to page and bookmark in favourites (use favourites button on your tool bar and add the page to your current list), this will make it easier to find the page later. How to sign in Put in your ID and password How to view messages Use the message button in the left hand index and it will take you to a list of the most recent messages. Clicking on the title will open and show the whole message. Sending an email You have two ways of doing this: Insert eastwood2eaves@yahoo.com in your list of email contacts and send a message as you would any other email. Alternatively, from the group message page, cick the post message link (top right) and it will generate an email form. In your first email why not introduce yourself and include anything that you are particularly interested in. HOW DO I STOP RECEIVING EMAILS? It couldnít be Simpler go to Home in the left hand index. Go to the bottom of the page and click on unsubscribe and follow the instructions. We would be grateful if you would let us know why you are leaving in case there are changes or improvements to out activities or to how the emailing group is working.
