Run separately, but in parallel with the WCOA web site, is the wanderer group 'forum' hosted by Yahoo.  There are reciprocal links between this group and the WCOA web site.  The 'Forum' is an online moderated Wanderer related discussion/community open to all, not just WCOA members, who have an interest in the WCOA, Wanderer and dinghy sailing generally.  The group is 'open' but is moderated and 'off-topic', unsuitable or offensive material will be removed.

By visiting the Yahoo groups site you can quickly and simple join the group and this will instantly allow you to start sending and receiving email.  However to fully participate it is recommended that you either upgrade your existing group membership to or join from the outset with full web access to the group.  This allows access to a greater variety of facilities - the more useful being outlined below, as is the procedure necessary to upgrade/gain full access.

The Yahoo hosted wanderergroup 'Forum' allows you indulge in the following:-

Of course even with full web access to the group you will continue to receive group email postings either in individual or digest format.  If you wish, you can even elect to receive no emails but to view postings via web access only.

Many of you will already be members of the 'Forum' but may be interacting with the group through the sending and receiving of emails only!  In order to reap the full benefit of this online Wanderer related group you will require full web based access. For this you need to be 'registered' with Yahoo.  

This is a painless process during which you create a Yahoo 'ID' and password.  It takes but a few minutes to complete at groups.yahoo.com and once complete you just 'associate' your new ID with your email address and you will be given full, as opposed to email only, access. There is a local Yahoo 'wizard' to take you through the 'association' procedure.  There is also an appropriate 'tick box' for your use to avoid, if so wished, the possible receipt of advertising/marketing material directly to your email 'inbox'!

You should preferably already be a member of the Wanderer Forum or you can either join the group once you have registered with Yahoo or click the link here to join the group in advance.
