Well, as most other teams, we have got two lists set up for our club: one with tournament announcements, and important practice info, and one with general discussions about what colour shirts we want, how we should drill, what we are having for dinner, etc. That way people can choose to subscribe to all the crap if they want to, or just stick with important stuff, and not spend a Wednesday morning reading non-stop repetitive arguments about whether someone had a valid point about AGM's. (For example) If you add special digests into this as well, it could be an easy way to get the info, without the extraneous material.
Yahoogroups are good, but they have started sending adverts on the bottom of their e-mails. The service can get a little slow to some people, but generally they are OK.

We do need to set up some new email lists for everyone.
I think Britdisc is quite vunerable to spam because its not moderated
automatically (you don't have to be subscribed to post to it)
I think we'll probably go for yahoogroups or something similar (anyone got
any advice/preferences?) Having an daily digest feature would be good.
Having a separate announcement-only list would be popular too. I also thing
we should make sure there is a choice of special interest groups as Britdisc
is a bit vague in its purpose.
Thoughts and suggestions welcome (a Britdisc debate?)
