Posting emails to the group is restricted. This is to prevent the group becoming overrun by non-event-related emails.
- Before you post an email, refer to writing an event email for guidelines on how to write a good event email.
Sending out an event email for non-organisers
- Email your event suggestion to aclubbrussels@yahoo.com and ask us to post it out on the list for you
- The organisers will check that your mail has all the necessary information and then post it out

If posting the message like this fails
Try again, sometimes it just doesn't work temporarily.
Check that your message contains valid ASCII characters. I found that a message with Euro symbols in failed lots of times. Then I changed it to EUR and it worked.
If it still doesn't work, try the following:
- Go to the yahoo mail account http://mail.yahoo.com
- (As you logged in to yahoo above, you should still be logged in correctly. This will only work if you're logged in as aclubbrussels@yahoo.com)
- Send the message as an email to aclubbrussels@yahoogroups.com
- Of course it's just a normal email, which you can't preview first, so be careful. (If you've copied text from the yahoogroups page, check for hard line-breaks which mess up the formatting.)
