Communications
Google Group: SSA-Club-Members
All SSA Club Members in good standing are members of the SSA-Club-Members Google Group.
Official club communications are sent from this group to members.
Members can post to this Google Group but it is moderated by club officers to ensure it's SSA related business only.
Telegram Messenger
The club uses Telegram Messenger for daily communications. There are mobile apps for IOS & Android, desktop apps for Windows, Linux & MacOS as well as a web interface.
TAKE NOTE: If you are new to Telegram, please be aware that if you don't post for a certain amount of time, telegram will clear all of your history, and remove you from any chats you have joined. The inactivity timer defaults to 30 days. So if you find that you've mysteriously disappeared from chats, it could be that you've left your inactivity timer set to the default and you haven't posted anything in the last 30 days. You should bump your inactivity timer to the maximum value which is one year.
