If your club has a large annual or semi-annual event such as a “British Car Day”, autojumble/swapmeet or rally and you would like it listed here just E-mail me (webmaster@britishcarlinks.com) with all of the pertinent details. Start thinking about submitting your 2007 events - the longer it is posted the more people will see it! If possible please put the information in the following format:

Date of event – Location of event – Name of event – Marques represented (just say all if there are no restrictions) – a description of the event – a URL for a link back to your website for more info (this could be your homepage or a page within your site).

Of course there is no cost or obligation to have your event listed on the page. My goal is to have a one-stop place where someone from anywhere in the world can see if there are any British car events that they can incorporate into their travel plans if they know they are going to be in a certain area at a certain time of the year. For the club it is an opportunity to attract some visitors to your event from far beyond your normal pool of British car enthusiasts.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me (Allan) at webmaster@britishcarlinks.com.
