The Round runs two mailing lists: soc-round and soc-round-chat.

soc-round

soc-round@lists.cam.ac.uk is for general announcements. It is here that events organized by the Round are advertised, as well as the occasional important administrative message. This is a moderated list; postings will be forwarded to the list if considered relevant.

If you are interested in the Round or its legendary ceilidhs, you should definitely be on this list! Send requests to soc-round-request@lists.cam.ac.uk. The list of members is kept private and you will not be added to other lists without your consent. Requests to be taken off the list should be sent to the same address. Note that there is no need to specifically request to be taken off if you are leaving the university as will remove you when your account is cancelled, but of course you may want to request that messages go to your new email address instead!

soc-round-chat

soc-round-chat@lists.cam.ac.uk is mostly unmoderated (although to combat spam messages from addresses outside Cambridge University which aren't on the list will be forwarded for moderation in the same way as soc-round). It is intended for regular Round goers (although anyone is free to join) and is where info on good gigs, random requests for help, info on weekly Round meetings, etc. should be posted. Messages sent to soc-round which are not considered suitable may be forwarded to soc-round-chat instead. Requests to join/leave the list should be sent to soc-round-chat-request@lists.cam.ac.uk.

As these are all addresses of real humans things aren't instantaneous, but within term-time requests should normally be acted on reasonably promptly.

Comments about the mailing lists should go to soc-round-managers@lists.cam.ac.uk.
Comments about the Round in general should go to soc-round-request@lists.cam.ac.uk.

I know that's a lot of addresses... don't worry, if you send to the wrong one it'll get forwarded to the right one fairly quickly, and roughly the same people are behind most of the administrative ones anyway. Just remember to sign up!
