RBYC-Royal Brighton Yacht Club

I have to tell you all about something that has been going on that I think is absolutely hilarious.

A few weeks ago..sometime in the beginning of February. I started receiving some interesting emails. At first I thought it was spam and deleted them. I now wish I had kept the emails. After I kept getting more and more and they all seemed to be about they same thing and they actually didn't look like spam and I started reading them. This was the email that made me realize it was not spam. It you can see there is a name and spreadsheets.

Turns out there are other organizations who have fights over email. I digress.

After receiving this email I then did some investigating. I can't remember all the steps I made to find this site. I think I searched Simon and Royal Brighton Yacht Club and this is what I came up with. Click on the picture it's a link.



Anyway somehow my email address made it on this email list. It seems to be a presegious email list...and that not everyone can be on it. It seems to be a group of racing officials for the Yacht club. So I sent an email to paul, another one of the racing officials, actually patrick wrote it, I said....

it seems as though my email address is mistakenly being used in your correspondence. please remove me from this email group.

thanks

But i still kept getting them in mass. It was never a direct email to me from someone and I didn't know who I was and didn't know if any of the emails were directly for me. Anyway yesterday I received an email from Deborah, and only Deborah, no one else was part of the email. I made a discovery with this email. My name is John. So I took the opprotunity and emailed Deborah about it.

This is what I recieved from her.

Hi John

Are you able to provide the contact details for the powerboat owners at RBYC.

I would like to contact them re the Dragon Worlds in Jan 2010.

As per our meeting with the Dragons 2 weeks ago - we are looking for a power boat to be used as a Tow Boat and looking for a boat to be used as a Jury Boat.

We will probably also have requirements for spectator boats, media boats etc.

Are you happy for me to send them email - inviting them to be involved or would you prefer if I drafted the email and it was sent from you?

Cheers Deborah

and this is what I sent Deborah.

Hi Deborah,

My name is Elizabeth Spencer. I work and live in Orem, Utah in the USA. It's about 30 minutes away from Salt Lake City where they hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics. I've been receiving you're Royal Brighton Yacht Clubs communications for a while now. I've sent some emails out about it but my email has not been removed from the list. It's not been a bother, but I figure the person who is suppose to receive these emails, John, might want to start receiving them. You're more than welcome to continue sending me emails, but be aware they are being sent to someone an ocean away. Good luck with the races and have a wonderful day.

I'll keep you updated as to what happens.
