The Birmingham Road Safety Diary

Purpose

Inspired by the National Road Safety Diary, the purpose of the Birmingham Road Safety Diary is to provide a free, up-to-date listing of road safety events in and around Birmingham, so as to allow those organizing such events to:

• Encourage greater involvement. So we will give full details of your event if it is open to non-members. Just let us have all the details.
  
  
• Avoid possible clashes of dates. So, even if you have a closed meeting, we'll list it here (as closed). That way we list the meeting so that others can avoid that date, but it's clear that's it's not a meeting open to the public.

Telling us about your event

To tell us about your event, please e-mail diary@badis.org.uk, or telephone us on 0121-256-2260. If you have your own web site which gives details of your event, we would be happy to include a direct link to that page from ours. Don't forget to check the Birmingham Road Safety Diary, and also the National Road Safety Diary, when choosing the date of your event. This may help you avoid a clash of dates.
