The NEW ENGLAND WALKERS is organized to foster interest, participation, and sustained competitive excellence in the sport of race walking in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Vermont. Our clinics and programs are tailored for the average person and are open to everyone.

This announcement list on Yahoo! is used to post upcoming races, events, clinics, volunteer opportunities as well as results, news articles, and other important announcements.

A discussion group exists on Google groups. That discussion group is used to promote discussion of issues relating to the New England Walkers and race walking in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Vermont. It also serves as a conduit for announcements from the NEW ENGLAND WALKERS board including meeting agendas, notes, minutes and other information. It's available by going to this URL.

The two announcement list and discussion group are independent of each other. I would recommend that everyone subscribe to the announcement list on Yahoo! If you want just the facts, then the Yahoo! announcement list will be right for you. If, in addition to the facts, you want to talk, brainstorm, argue, create, debate, ramble, etc, or listen to others then you should subscribe to the discusssion group on Google.

I hope you find the NEW ENGLAND WALKERS announcement list and discussion groups on Yahoo! and Google helpful. Please let me know if you any questions suggestions for the group.

Thank you. -- Justin
