BayOnet E-mail List
BAOC has an electronic mailing list called the BayOnet. It's used by club members to plan future events, discuss event results, and discuss the sport of orienteering in general. You don't have to be a club member to subscribe; once you join, you can send e-mail to the group as well as receive all messages sent by other members.
- To subscribe to BayOnet, just send a blank email to baoc-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoc-subscribe@yahoogroups.com). This will subscribe the e-mail account from which you send the message.
- To post a message to BayOnet members, send e-mail to baoc@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoc@yahoogroups.com).
- To unsubscribe, send a blank e-mail to baoc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com). This will unsubscribe the e-mail account from which you send the message.
- If you have questions or need help, send an e-mail to the .
BayOnet also has a Web page at groups.yahoo.com/group/baoc that contains searchable message archives, a subscriber list, subscription management services, polls, chat, and file storage (for photos, maps, etc.). Access to the Web services requires a Yahoo ID (you don't need a Yahoo ID just to use the mailing list).
If you already have a Yahoo ID, then you may need to associate your subscribed e-mail address with your ID; go to Account Info at groups.yahoo.com and follow the instructions. If you want an ID, then go to groups.yahoo.com and make a Yahoo ID. Then there are a few steps to associate your new ID with your subscription to BayOnet; follow the instructions at groups.yahoo.com, or contact the if you need help.
Monthly Schedule E-mail
Once a month, an announcement of upcoming events is sent to a list of subscribers to that service. This list is administered like the one for the BayOnet, but the addresses are different. Unlike the BayOnet, only the list administrator can post messages to the list.
- To subscribe to the monthly mailings, just send a blank e-mail to BAOC_Events-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:BAOC_Events-subscribe@yahoogroups.com). This will subscribe the e-mail account from which you send the message.
- To unsubscribe, send a blank e-mail to BAOC_Events-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:BAOC_Events-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com). This will unsubscribe the e-mail account from which you send the message.
- If you have questions or need help, send an e-mail to the .
Like the BayOnet, the Events list has a Web page at groups.yahoo.com/group/BAOC_Events. It contains the most recent announcement, both as the original email (but with the formatting corrupted [Thanks Yahoo!]) and as a downloadable file. Access to the file requires a Yahoo ID (you don't need a Yahoo ID just to subscribe to the mailing list, or to access the latest message on the Web page). See above for more information about Yahoo IDs.
BAOC Training E-mail List
BAOC has an additional electronic mailing list called baoct. It's used by club members who want to place an additional emphasis on training for Orienteering events. The charter for this group on Yahoo states:
This group was set up to provide an email list for BAOCers and others interesting in training for orienteering outside of regular events. Initially this will be used for physical training in the South Bay, but it could be expanded.
You don't have to be a club member to subscribe; once you join, you can send e-mail to the group as well as receive all the messages sent by other members.
- To subscribe to baoct, just send a blank email to baoct-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoct-subscribe@yahoogroups.com). This will subscribe the e-mail account from which you send the message.
- To post a message to baoct members, send e-mail to baoct@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoct@yahoogroups.com).
- To unsubscribe, send a blank e-mail to baoct-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoct-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com). This will unsubscribe the e-mail account from which you send the message.
- If you have questions or need help, send an e-mail to the .
baoct also has a Web page at groups.yahoo.com/group/baoct that you can use to find out more about the list.
If you haven't yet signed up for the BayOnet, described earlier on this page, we recommend that you join that list too. The baoct training list does not include any announcements about the club's upcoming events.
