I am sorry to report that the club email lists (NHCmembers and NHCcommittee) no longer work. Any emails sent to them disappear without trace. They will not be delivered. I am not sure exactly when this change happened but I would recommend that any emails sent on or after Monday 31st January be re-sent by other means.
With hindsight, this was bound to happen sooner or later. The lists depended on email features provided by my Internet Service Provider - Freedom2 Surf, who have been swallowed up by Talk Talk Business, a very much larger company and they have "consolidated" their email services. When I signed up with Freedom2Surf (5 or 6 years ago), they promoted themselves as "an ISP for IT professionals" and provided a more functional service that most other ISPs but without the marketing gizmos (six free downloads from Itunes etc !). In today's Internet, this is probably not a viable business model. Nowadays, it is all about numbers of customers and very large numbers (millions) at that.
I am investigating alternative ways of providing the mail list facility.
