The Harriers email group is intended to be the main communication medium for the club. It’s a good way of letting other members know what's going on, and in turn, finding out what everyone else is up to by exchanging news and views about club life, races, results and so on. Not everything that is posted will be of interest to everyone, but we hope that you will find some of the messages useful. The group is part of the well-established Yahoo Groups network and is open to Harriers members only.
How to join the email group
If you're a Harrier and not already signed up to the email group, you can do so by clicking on the link below:
Firstly, you will need to set up a Yahoo user-name so that you can access the full web features of the group. This will enable you to change your group settings easily, look at pictures and files uploaded to the group website, and to participate in on-line polls such as those for the voting for club trophies. You can also post messages and view group messages on the internet without having to log in to your email account.
When becoming a member of the group, you can opt to receive all emails individually, to receive a single ‘daily digest' of all emails sent during a day, or to receive club announcements only.
Useful information for the email group
If you press reply to a message, then your reply goes to the whole email group. To reply to the message sender only, cut and paste their address from the original email.
When setting 'out of office' to reply automatically to emails when you are away from your PC, please set a rule so that this does not apply to group messages, so avoiding the whole group tracking your days off and holidays.
Please make sure that your antivirus software is kept up to date. A mass-mailing virus might lead to you inadvertently sending an infected email to the whole group.
Remember that attachments to messages cannot be accessed by people who get the daily digest. Instead, you might want to put the gist of an attachment into your mail message, send it to the group owner, or send it to the webmaster to be put on the club website.
If you find you are getting too many messages, you might want to switch to the daily digest. This gives you all the messages for the day in a single email. To get the daily digest, send a blank email by clicking here.

Email group etiquette
Please do not send messages which might be considered offensive (eg. racist or sexist). We all want to have fun, but not at the expense of others.
Please limit your e-mails to subject matter involving the club - the group is not intended to be used for distribution of humorous e-mails, however benign.
Please do not post messages about swapping race entries/numbers without first gaining approval to do so from the race organiser. Once you have permission, please say so when you post to the group.
