QUICK RESPONSE COMMUNITY
WEB GROUP
Hi, I am a new Wickhambrook resident who is interested in fast communication within the community . . .
Having moved from a village that had a google group such as this, it was incredibly useful to keep folk in the loop about certain events.
Once you have been added and confirmed (sometimes finds itself in your junkmail so check there too) you simply send an email with your news/info/for sale item and photo directly to cb88online@googlegroups.com (it isn't neccessary to sign into the group, just email to the aforementioned address and you will recieve a copy of your posting and it will be sent directly to all members of the group too).
It will distribute by email your information instantly to everyone who has registered with us. Spread the word as this will only work with plenty of CB88 members so tell your friends, relatives and organisations who live within the CB8 area to contact me to be added to cb88online@googlegroups.com
This is a free service.
Please see an example of posts from my previous googlegroup to give you a taste of what its all about. . . .
Can anyone recommend a reliable taxi service just to get to and from Cambridge? Thanks, Paula

Antique restored coat-cupboard/wardrobe. Not deep enough for hangers hung front to back, but can use with hangers at an angle.
To summarise: Apply to be added by sending an email to cb88online@googlegroups.com Once confirmed as added (check junk mail folder) you will be able to send your news etc by sending emails to cb88online@googlegroups.com where your news etc will be distributed to everyone registered instantly.
To reply to posts you are interested in just click on your usual email reply as if you are sending a regular email and it will reach the sender.
Just need to spread the word to make this a success as the more members we have the more useful info and sales of your unwanted goods are generated.
Many thanks
Tricia
