As I have said in response to the post you started in the GAGB Facebook group, there was an unfortunate error last night when the emails were sent out and I have apologised several times.
All the emails were having to be sent manually after LadyBugKids had problems sending a bulk email to all GAGB members from a hotel Internet in Germany (via his Alaskan domain) and he had to abort it.
As part of the manual process, he inadvertently added the first 100 email addresses into the cc field rather than bcc field. He realised as soon as he pressed send, but was too late to stop them. All further emails were sent as bcc. He also emailed me to keep me informed and to apologise for this error and replied to those people that contacted him directly last night.
By the time he had finished sending all the emails it was nearly 2am (his time) and we (Mike & I) decided that we wouldn't send out a bulk follow up apology email at that time, but that he would initially respond to any specific emails personally.
Mike is in Europe on business this week so has limited time (mainly late evenings) when he has access to his laptop so may not have responded to emails that have arrived today.
I have also been at work all day and only became aware of the facebook conversation after I finished this evening. I have since given a detailed description of events to the committee to keep them informed.
It is an unfortunate incident in what otherwise has been an excellent service from LadyBug Kids for the third consecutive year as Returning Officer.
I am sure Mike will reply to this thread once he has checked in at his hotel this evening.
