Would you like to be able to contact your group members by e-mail ?
Would you like to use the internet to publish your newsletter or public announcements?
Would you like to publish information about your forthcoming events in our internet diary?
Would you like to publish information about your group on your own web site to let everyone who browses through CamNet know your contact address and phone number, what you do, how often and where you meet and the cost of a subscription?
Would you like to link your web site to other groups who share your interests or to sources of information which can be found elsewhere on the net and might be of interest to your members?
Would you like to join in discussion groups via internet newsgroups with people who share your interests?

Join CamNet

Get on Line, and reach the ever-growing network of people in the Cambridge area who are using the Internet at home, in the office or in public places in the City.

To use the CamNet free e-mail service, all you need to do is pay a one-off registration subscription to CamNet and to wait for us to send you your e-mail address. CamNet is unable to offer this facilitiy to a group so you will need to nominate one of your members to apply for membership on the group's behalf; also, we can only extend this special offer to people who live within the Cambridge area. Once you have registered, you can then use e-mail to contact all your members in Cambridge who are already on-line or you can write to other groups who are already using e-mail world-wide. Apart from the cost of a telephone call (at local rate) when you use e-mail, this service is absolutely FREE - other internet service providers charge a monthly subscription.

CamNet can also offer you free Web space on our local server. If one of your members can create a Web page for you, we will provide you with a URL and put your page on the net. If you don't know what a 'Web page' or a 'URL' is, and you don't know how to write a Web page but would like to learn, we can find a volunteer who will show you how to do it and give you technical advice. We may be able to find a volunteer who can write a page for you. All you need is a PC, a modem, a telephone line and a CamNet e-mail address. If you don't have any equipment yourselves, our volunteers can use the facilities kindly made available to us in the basement of the CB1 cafe in Mill Road. Groups affiliated to the Cambridge Council for Voluntary Service, can use their on-line PC at Llandaff Chambers, No 2 Regent Street, Cambridge.
