THE MCIVTA ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER
There is an Internet newsletter for followers of Manchester City called Man City Info Via The Alps. It is usually issued two or three times a week and covers match reports, news, questions and personal views. The raison d'être of MCIVTA was originally to keep subscribers around the world up to date with news and views from The Academy (see the history of MCIVTA) but with a strong contingent of local subscribers, there's plenty for British readers too. You don't have to be a City fan to join the list; there is at least one subscriber who is a United fan but prefers MCIVTA to the Man Utd mailing list!
The newsletter was originally together by Ashley Birch, resident at the University of Zürich in Switzerland, which inspired the name of the newsletter. Nowadays it's looked after by Phil Alcock, and subscriptions are handled by Madeleine Hawkins; if you would like to receive Man City Info Via The Alps, send an e-mail to Madeleine at subscriptions@mcivta.city-fan.org. Please state your full name and location (e.g. Fred Bloggs, Manchester, England) when subscribing as this helps our overloaded administrators! If you're using the mailto: link (above), please ensure that your e-mail address is set correctly or included in your message; otherwise Madeleine won't know where to send the newsletter to! Upon subscribing, Madeleine will give you the address to send any contributions to, should you wish to do so.
| Note for Hotmail Subscribers |
|---|
| There are ongoing delivery problems to hotmail addresses, which affect MCIVTA in particular but possibly other mail as well. The symptom of the problem is that hotmail appears to accept mail for delivery, but it simply disappears after that (and doesn't just end up in the junk/bulk folder). There are numerous other reports of this problem on the Internet, and our suggestion is that hotmail users get themselves a Google Mail account for the purpose of subscribing to MCIVTA, even if you want to retain your hotmail account for other purposes. |
