        You should receive a list of 1 or more groups. Please select the group you wish to join, & press one of the following buttons:
        • Go to group page
        • Join this group
        If you press the join this group button, the same page will refresh, but will have your Wellington group listed on the screen.

        You are now a member of the group.

    • Being a member of the group

      • Receive emails one at a time
        • Click on change settings for the Wellington group.

          Where it says Email preference,
          select 'one for each post',
          then the change email preference button.

          You will now start to receive emails for each offer/wanted/taken/received message sent by group members.

      • Digest option
        • Click on change settings for the Wellington group.

          Where it says Email preference,
          select 'email digest',
          then the change email preference button.

          Freecycle will stop sending you emails one at a time for each post made. You will receive a 'digest' of emails for that day, up to 25 emails per digest.

          Example. if the group has 68 emails, you will receive your 1st digest shortly after the 25th Email was sent to the group. This will show you all the offers/wanteds etc up to that time.

          When the 50th email is sent, you will receive another digest email. At the end of the day (UK time), all the remaining emails not already sent that day, will be sent as a shortened digest, so in this example, you will receive the remaining 18 messages.

      • Stop receiving emails from Wellington (But still remain a member of the group)
        • Click on change settings for the Wellington group.

          Where it says Email preference,

          Please note: You will still receive any monthly files, and admin messages that are sent to the wellingtonfreecycle group.
