We have a number of email lists that we use to send out emails:

llg lists.londonlinkgroup.org.uk – If you send to this address it sends to all subscribers to London Link Group (about ~304 people at the time of writing)

llg-committee lists.londonlinkgroup.org.uk  If you send to this address it sends to all the members of the London Link Group committee

llg-volunteers lists.londonlinkgroup.org.uk  If you send to this address it sends to all the people who volunteer to help out with London Link Group events.

Management of the lists is done via mailman.

    OR

Online Booking:

The online event booking system can be activated by logging into the dashboard of this website. If you don’t have a login please ask the clerk.

To create a new event:

  1. Login to wordpress via londonlinkgroup.org.uk/login/
  2. Go to “QEvents”
  3. Click “Add new event”
  4. Fill in the details, the email address entered will be used to send booking notifications to.
  5. Add a password and click save, It is very important not to lose this password, there is no recovery option.

To download the event booking data:

  1. Login to wordpress via londonlinkgroup.org.uk/wp-admin/
  2. Go to “QEvents”
  3. Click the event name you want to download the data for
  4. In the right hand column Enter the password you created
  5. Select either spreadsheet or pdf and click Download

Be careful where you store this download, ideally only view it each time rather than saving it. Printed copies should be kept securely and destroyed after the event. Avoid emailing this around, if a participant list is needed to be shared, only email a list of first names for example.
