Had a quick look i would say good idea,
The only thing i thought would it be possible to have different colours for different events ? ( like all Bofa 4x4 events in Red & AWDC events in green )
Hope that makes sense.
I Like this Truck of mine, just like me it's well run in it's not old just older.

My Truck's :
Playtoy : '94 M Frontera 2.4i LWB NOW SOLD AS DIED
Family truck : '07 Ford Ranger Thunder 2.5 TDCI

Thanks for the feedback. Makes perfect sense IF there were enough colours available. Already have red for holidays /days of interest and pink to highlight my 4x4 MARKETS, but you would be surprised how few dark colours there are left. All the light colours such as yellow, light blue, etc. are hardly legible unless you change the background colour, which believe me would be a nightmare!

Granted it would work right now and look much better, but I have many more club and off-road centre events to add and when I eventually run out of colours they would all have to be in plain black - hence confusing the matter as you

Okay, taking on board what you and others have said on various 4x4 forums, the feedback was so positive I have decided to launch a free internet resource site solely for information about 4x4 events (you'll find it is a lot clearer than before).

Produced by enthusiasts for enthusiasts …

It’s TOTALLY FREE

You DON’T NEED TO REGISTER

It’s VERY EASY TO USE

It provides FAST, INSTANT INFORMATION


Entitled www.4x4calendar.co.uk not only can you see what is happening where and when, new events can also be listed within its pages. If you are an event organiser - club, forum group, charity, commercial off-road centre or a major 4x4 show - providing an event is open to the general public and includes four-wheel-drive vehicles, then it can be included.

Just as important, if you know of an event that has been postponed or cancelled, please inform the site as soon as possible and it will be announced virtually instantly. Everyone has been caught out at some time or another when events are called off, this should help enormously in preventing future wasted journeys. The technology has existed for ages, all I’m doing is making use of it. Hope you like it!
