We are now using the Freelists.org mailing list manager to maintain the club members list and the club announcements list.

The members list is for all members of MARC.  If you are a MARC member, you should join this list.  You can join the list by visiting https://www.freelists.org/list/marc-members and entering your e-mail address.  You will receive an e-mail instructing you to click the enclosed link to validate your e-mail address.  Since this is a closed list, once you have done so, a message will be sent to the list admins to have your subscription approved.  This may take up to 24 hours.  Once you are approved, you will receive a message informing you that you have subscribed to the list.

The announcement list is open to all, but can only be posted to by list moderators.  Posts sent to this list will advise about upcoming meetings and events of relevance to MARC.  You do NOT need to be a member of MARC to join the announcement list.  Join the list by visiting https://www.freelists.org/list/marc-announce and entering your e-mail address.  You will receive an e-mail instructing you to click the enclosed link to validate your address.  Once you have done so, you will receive a message indicating that you have been subscribed to the list.

We have also set up a third list for the club education committee.  If you are interested in teaching a class or in suggesting topics for future classes, you are welcome to join the education committee list.  Join the list by visiting https://www.freelists.org/list/marc-education-committee and entering your e-mail address.  Any list member can post to this list and it is open to anyone who is interested in helping teach.

Please join the appropriate list(s) for your interest and participation.  If you have suggestions for additional lists, please post them here as a comment or use the Contact Us form.

FYI, I have noticed an excess of what appear to be fake accounts on the club web site.  These have not caused much of a problem due to the requirement that comments must be vetted before being made public and that only authorized users can make new posts or edit pages, but in the interests of keeping our user database clean I have deleted several (about 28) accounts.  These accounts had not registered a call sign, had either never logged in, only logged in once, or had logged in way more times than they should have been able to based on the account creation data.  Quite often, these accounts had e-mail addresses in Russia or had other commonalities that indicated they were likely to not be valid.

If I purged your account and you are an actual person who wants to be part of the web site, please feel free to recreate your account AND notify me via our contact form of your interest.

If you have registered an account and you have a call sign but did not enter it when you created your account, please use the edit link (scroll down near the bottom) to update it.  If you are a member of the club and you can NOT access the Member's Area then please use the Contact Us page to let me know and I'll adjust your membership category accordingly.  Note that you do NOT have to live in Murray to be a member of the club... you can become an Affiliate Member, but you do have to have given some personal information (mainly name, address, phone number) to the club secretary.  Again, you can use the  Contact Us form to let us know and we will make sure you are put in touch with the club secretary.
