Before Submitting an Event
Please.
Submissions: We
have several simple criteria for event postings. Please
follow them or we will not post your information. All
we will post is the basic information. If you want to
offer more details, that is great. Put it on a website
(not ours) and we will include a link in your listing.
1.
The event must have a date. A concrete, definite
day, month and year. Events that are still at the "to
be announced" stage will not be posted.
2. Point of contact. Preferably an email and
phone number.
3. A location. "Veteran's Park" is
too vague. I need little things. Like city...state.
A basic orientation (20mi SE of St. Louis) doesn't
hurt either.
4. Type of event. If it is a battle/ reenactment,
please let us know what theater it is. (Pacific, Western
Front, Eastern Front or "Group Hug".)
No Attachments: Please do NOT send me document
files or crazy emails full of carrots (<>) and
other gibberish. What am I supposed to do with pdf.
files? Scan them and post pics?
Gibberish: I'm sorry, but this is getting insane
and I don't have time to edit, correct, massage, translate
or repair the cocked-up submissions some people are
sending. You might want to use spell check. If you mis-spell
"Ohio" I'm not going to fix it. And....SUBMISSIONS
TYPED IN CAPS ARE BEYOND ANNOYING AND WON'T GET POSTED.
Posting Speed/ Impatience: Although
I try to post events as quickly as possible, this doesn't
always happen. Again, as this is a free service, be
careful about getting snotty lest the "delete"
key accidentally gets pressed. "As quickly
as possible" translates as between 1 day and 2
weeks depending on the demands of my real job, mood
swings and alcohol consumption. Lately, we've had several
panic stricken types submit their event 3-4 times per
week in a vain attempt to get it posted right away.
Guess what happened to those!
My surly text: If my draconian demands piss you
off because you might have to type 20-30 words, fine.
Don't bother. Imagine getting a dozen links of one sort
or another every day in wildly differing formats, fonts
and text sizes not to mention bad links and corrupted
attachments.
PLEASE: Just make me happy and use the text format
below: It's very easy....Just cut and paste the text
below, fill in the blanks, send it over and I'll post
it.
Thank you.
Please
use the this format for your submission:
What: (Event Name,
Campaign, Whatever)
When: (Date:
month, day(s), year)
Where: (City,
State, etc)
Sponsor: (Organization
or unit putting the event on.)
Cost: (If any)
Notes: (No alcohol,
free beer, strippers, cat roast Sat nite, etc)
Contact: (Name,
email, phone, weblink etc.)
Attention!
I will no longer work from pdf, Word documents or any sort of attachment. If you do not use the format above, I will not post your event. Sorry, but I'm tired of people sending in crazy crap and having to spend 20 minutes trying to compose a legible event listing for them.
Thank you!
Other Calendars:
Although I try to keep ours as up to date as
possible, I will link other website's events ca lenders here
in case I miss a few. These ca lenders I have found to be well
maintained and up to date:
MVPA
Event Calendar: This calendar has many events worldwide, mostly dedicated
to military vehicles and swap meets. Most of these events we do not have on our calendar.
RKKA

in the US.
HRS
