Stay in the Loop: Subscribe to SKABC News

Want to make sure you never miss a club event, safety workshop, or community announcement? Instead of constantly refreshing the website or relying on unpredictable social media algorithms, you can have SKABC news delivered straight to you.

Here are the primary ways to subscribe and stay updated.

1. Subscribe via Email Newsletter

The easiest way for both members and the public to get updates is to sign up for our direct email notifications.

  • How it works: Whenever a major announcement or news piece is published, a copy is sent straight to your inbox.

  • How to sign up: Scroll to the sidebar or footer of the SKABC Website. Locate the "Subscribe to our News" section, enter your email address, and click submit.

2. Subscribe via RSS Feed Reader

If you prefer to aggregate your hobbies in one place, SKABC offers dedicated RSS feeds. Think of it like a personalized digital newspaper subscription.

Step-by-Step RSS Setup

1.Choose an RSS Reader:Free & Quick.

Download a free app or create an account on a web-based news aggregator. Highly recommended options include Feedly, Inoreader, or NetNewsWire (for Apple users).

2.Copy the Feed Links:Select your preference.

Right-click (or tap and hold on mobile) and select "Copy Link Address" for the specific updates you want to track:

  • Latest News & Announcements Feed: [https://www.skabc.org/feed](https://www.skabc.org/feed)

  • Club Events & Trips Feed: [https://www.skabc.org/events-2/feed/](https://www.skabc.org/events-2/feed/)

3.Add the Link to Your Reader:Final Step.

Open your RSS reader app, look for a button that says "Add Content," "Subscribe," or the "+" sign. Paste the URL you copied in the previous step into the search bar and click Follow.

 

💡 Quick Tip for Desktop Users: If you use email clients like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, you can actually subscribe to these RSS feeds directly inside your email client sidebar without downloading a separate app!
