Cherub Classes Mailing List

The Cherub mailing list is run to promote discussion on Cherub sailing and related issues. This list exists for people to chat about all things Cherub, both UK Rules and International Rules. Please feel free to contribute to the discussion. New subscribers may feel wary about posting their thoughts or comments to the list, but we are a friendly group so don't be bashful. Remember, if no-one posts anything to the list, it may as well not be there. This list has already shown itself to be an excellent method of sharing ideas and information between Cherub sailors from all around the world. If you have questions, ask them; if you have ideas, let's hear them.

Alternatively you can use these mailto links with your normal mail software. Just send a blank message to the address that pops up

The List Sponsor

This list is sponsored and run by Total Coverage Limited.
Total Coverage is a Co-operative owned and controlled by its employees, providing high quality creative design, copywriting and marketing support services.
We have been cajoled into organising this list by Una, one of our directors, because she's into sailing Cherubs. For more information on
Total Coverage and the services we provide, contact Matt on tel. 023 8067 8330, or via email at info@totalcoverage.co.uk. Alternatively you could check out the website at www.totalcoverage.co.uk.

Guidelines

The subscribers are not vetted in any way, membership is open and voluntary without any restriction.
Please don't send attachments to the list at all. Different subscribers have different software with different capabilities.
The views and comments expressed on the Cherub list are not necessarily those of the sponsors, or the list administrator, but should be regarded as coming from the original sender solely.

Using The list

How to Post Messages to the Cherub List

To post messages to the list, you first need to be a subscriber. As a subscriber you not only get sent copies of all postings to the list, but you can also send your own postings. To send a posting all you need do is address your email message to: Cherub@totalcoverage.co.ukYour email posting will automatically be copied to all the people who are subscribers at that time.

Replying to Messages

If you receive a message from the list, and want to reply to it, take a moment to think about who the reply is for. If it is for the whole list to read, then by all means send the reply to the list address (with most email software, this will be the default address that comes up if you hit the Reply button). Alternatively you may be aiming your reply solely at the author of the message, in which case be careful to ensure that your addressing is correct. Sending emails to the wrong address, especially when that address is a mailing list with lots of people subscribed to it, has been known to cause embarrasment to the sender and recipient, and sometimes also amusement to everyone else on the list. There was a good example on the Cherub list a while back where someone accidentally posted a message to the whole list that concerned, shall we say, Apres Apres Sail activities...

Subscribing and Resigning

Either use the forms above or else to subscribe send a blank message to this address. Cherub-on@totalcoverage.co.uk and to unsubscribe send a blank message to this one: Cherub-off@totalcoverage.co.uk

The Digest Option

Additionally/alternatively you may wish to subscribe to the list in digest mode. The digest is a weekly compendium of all the messages posted to the list during that week. So by subscribing to the digest service you only get one message a week instead of many. It also means you get the information later than would otherwise be the case, so you pays your money (or not, in this case), and you takes your choice. The Cherub List doesn't tend to be especially busy by the way, its not one of those lists where you can expect 50 messages a day. To subscribe to the digest, send an email to Cherub-digest@totalcoverage.co.ukWhen you subscribe to the List you will receive an email which gives this information in more detail, and also covers several additional features.
