The calendar on this site could be enhanced to provide a really useful resource. As far as I see it the current calendar is display-only, with no way to add entries. As co-drivers we are constantly working with calendars. For each event we have to deal with dates for regs available, entries close (maybe 2 dates if there is a discount for early payment), travel to & from events, hotel bookings, recce, fuel orders, tyre orders, scrutineering, the event itself, and loads more. If you have a busy season with entries in for multiple upcoming events at a time this can get complex. It would be useful to have a calendar that helped manage all that, reminded us via email of forthcoming deadlines etc. This would also make the site a place co-drivers would naturally use on a regular basis, which would help to build traffic.

Firstly can I just say that the calender has been opened up to all registered members following your post , so feel free to post on the calender.
As for the second part as regards using the calender as a organizer for individual needs I don't feel this board would have that capability as it stands. I would gladly put in regulations uploads, dates for submission of entries etc, but as regards notification via mail of these dates I cant see how this can be incorporated into the Forum. Have you seen this in operation on other Forums??
Development on a new Forum V5.0 is under construction so I will see what the capability this will have and see if this is a option in order to fulfill your needs and the other members.
It isn't much of a solution to your request but I will certainly look into it. On the subject of email do you receive PM's and email from this Forum?? A few people have said this function is not operable.

If you go into the calender and " view all[/color] " it will give you a list of all dates. I have completed the Wyedean dates and schedule for you. If you look at the bottom of the forum front page you will see the "events this Month" it will show all posts from the calender also here . I can work on the others if you wish unless you can take this on board. Send me a PM or email spitfirefactory@blueyonder.co.uk and we could discuss
