Reposting again, and observing that the spam load has been particularly high 
for the last week for some reason. I think it’s the mailing list saying it’s 
had enough :)

Let’s sunset this one: Middle of September makes it a month since i set up the 
new Google Group. That’s probably an adequate time to start turning this one 
off.

I had one person who couldn’t find the new list on the link below, but could 
with this one:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/aus-soaring 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/aus-soaring>
No idea why one worked and the other didn’t, but I’m including it here for 
completeness.

Regards,
