Will the members receive an email if I delete myself from a secret group board?

No, they are not notified. It is up to you to notify others that you have deleted yourself.

Click on the board, then click on the 'Organize' tab for the board, and select the pins you want to delete. Then click the little trash icon at the bottom.
