Improving our website

26/8/2020

We're very conscious that people's time has become increasingly precious and know that sometimes you might skip a News item or blog in case it takes too long to read.

Well, now we can help ... we've just added a nifty little feature to the News and Blogs pages of our website. What you will see is a neat toolbar just under the News or Blog title that provides you with an estimated reading time for every item, as well as the published date and the number of comments on it - without you needing to scroll to the bottom to see if there are any.

Here's how it looks on desktop or mobile devices (without the blue arrows, obviously! )
You're welcome :-)

Improving our visual identity on Facebook

Many of you will be aware that for several years it has been our practice to change the cover image at the top of the page of our Facebook Group on a weekly basis.
We've decided that it's time for a change; most of the other quality groups out there today use a single persistent image that not only reinforces their brand visually, but also makes their groups easier to recognise online and helps members know they are on the right page.
We have therefore discontinued the weekly cover image change with immediate effect, and are now proudly displaying a shiny new group image created specially for us by Dom Coleman. Here it is:

As you can see, the design is very closely based upon the large physical banners we have been using for some time at classic car shows and puts our group logo (designed by Gar Cole) front and centre; this also provides consistency with group merchandise such as grille badges and stickers, and we believe it will help members and others to recognise us more easily.

Thanks again to Dom - his graphic design work is hugely appreciated by the Admin team.

We are carrying out a survey to better understand our digital audience. We would like to know how you engage with our digital work and what motivates you to do so.
We’re also interested in how digital audiences are engaging with culture online and how this might be changing during the COVID-19 crisis.

​This survey should only take around 5 minutes to complete. Thank you to everyone who takes part.

We plan to return to the most excellent Gloucester Vintage & Steam Extravaganza near South Cerney in Gloucestershire in 2021, so put the weekend of 6-8 August in your diaries! We've been to this event several times before and it never disappoints.

​For those unfamiliar or just needing a reminder of the numerous "incidents" there in past times, check out some of the blogs and photo galleries from our previous visits here: https://www.britishmotorvehicles.com/apps/search?q=extravaganza  

​As always, you dont need to own a classic to join in the fun. Please direct any questions to organiser Mike Peake in the Facebook group. Please help Mike by indicating your interest via the button below.
I'm interested - sign me up!

The historic vehicle community, its events, freedoms to use the roads and even the fuel we use, are under increasing threats and pressures amidst a changing landscape of political and environmental influences.
 
The answers you give in this survey, will help shape the future for historic vehicles in Great Britain for the next 5 years. It takes just 20 minutes and we have prizes on offer for those that complete.
