Club Communications
official communications
Riverside has migrated from Groupspaces to use Google Groups instead. All active members are required to sign up in order to receive official information regarding anything from river traffic patterns to boathouse security.
The primary mailing list is “current-members @ riversideboatclub.com”. This private list is intended for important announcements and discussion related to Riverside Boat Club in Cambridge, MA.
The use of this list is limited to:
Captain’s business – e.g. restrictions on boat use
Board/membership meeting announcements, minutes
Work party announcements
Notices about any work projects that may be underway at the boathouse.
Erg/boat/facilities availability.
Regatta announcements/results (e.g. Cromwell Cup, Riverside Sprints, Crusher Casey, Heads of the Kevin).
Committee announcements
Sending and receiving emails:
When sending email to the list, you must use the same email account from which you subscribed. This is how external spam is rejected (only list members may post to the mailing list). Likewise all emails messages from the list will go to the address you used when you signed up. If your email address changes, please notify the club secretary and vice president of your new contact information.
The active membership email address is: current-members@riversideboatclub.com. In order to join the list, please send an empty email addressed to current-members+subscribe@riversideboatclub.com. You will receive an auto-reply to your request. Please respond to the automatic email in order to confirm your intention to join the mailing list. (Note that you won’t be able to click on the embedded link within the message, but an email reply should work).
Please add current-members@riversideboatclub.com as a contact in your email client to help prevent these emails from being classified as spam/junk/promotions.
This list is comprised of all active, dues-paying RBC rowers.
Please use good judgement when sending messages to the entire club membership. If you feel that you are receiving too many club email messages, there is also the option to receive a single daily digest rather than individual messages.
A separate “rbc-talk” email list is available for lower priority communications (see below).
