| E-Mail Issues
|
As of August 19, 2019, our E-Mail provider, Telus, has restored service to us.
E-mails are arriving OK. I am not sure how many emails from the 16th to 18th are lost.
If you sent us an e-mail in that time frame and have not received a reply, please send it again.
We have setup a backup Gmail account for e-mail: centralhobbiesbc@gmail.com.
We are currently checking it regularly, but will go back to our regular Telus account when they clear up their issues.
