Out There Forms, Guidelines and Planning page
 

Welcome!

On July 16th, 2002, a dozen gay men and lesbians met and formed the Out There Sports & Recreation group, a new umbrella sports organization for the LGBT community.

Out There Sports & Recreation exists to provide opportunities for women and men to participate in sports and recreation activities in good company with other members of the Winnipeg LGBT community.  We feel that there is a need for more places for queer people to meet and have fun, and Out There was created to meet that need.

Out There Sports & Recreation does not itself organize events, but promotes events organized by others in the LGBT community

Mail List:

A mail list has been created to consolidate all the mail lists held by various people involved in the many sports and activities of the Out There groups. This list enables YOU to control your incoming email from whatever sport/activity your interested in, and to not have our email address published. Currently there are over 190 members on the list. Some of the features are:

1- Each person subscribes and un-subscribes himself/herself, either by email or visiting a special Web page:
http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/out-there

2. Everybody who is on the mailing list can post THEIR OWN messages directly to the list, without having to go through the list owner first. Any replies to such messages will go back to the original poster and not to the whole list. In this way, people can spontaneously organize their own events, etc. without having to have the list owner post a message for them.

**Note- You MUST post from the email address that you are subscribed with.  Messages posted from any another email address will be not sent out and rejected.
3. Users can set themselves up for special features such as, the automatic removal of duplicate messages. This is available from the Subscriber settings page.

4. Older messages are archived and available only to the subscribed members via a special Web page.

5 The email list is for sport and recreation related messages ONLY.  Sorry, but unrelated political, social, fundraising, advertising or survey messages are NOT permitted and will result in immediate termination of access.
