Using the group
If you specify email notification you will receive an email each time a discussion thread is started or added to. You can start a new thread by sending an email to RomseyRR@googlegroups.com or you can reply to an email that you receive. You can also log on to the group site to view any threads or to create or append to a thread.

The Google group is intended to be used for news, views and discussions, for arranging lifts to races and so on. It should not be used for anything of a lasting nature - old stuff will be removed regularly. It is particularly useful if you cannot come to one of the club nights because you will get an email to tell you what is going on.
