The Ormskirk MotorFest is now on Facebook

AN AUTOMOTIVE spectacular which sees hundreds of classic cars and bikes take to the streets of Ormskirk has now got its own Facebook page.

Following the success of the 2011 and 2012 Ormskirk MotorFest events, which brought thousands of petrolheads into the market town in West Lancashire, the show's organisers are determined to make things even better for this year's event, and have launched a page on Facebook to help keep enthusiasts up to date.

The page, which will be updated regularly in the run up to the August 25 event, can be found at www.facebook.com/OrmskirkMotorfest2013 or by searching for "Ormskirk MotorFest" on Facebook. The event's Twitter account is also used for event updates, and can be found by searching @2013MotorFest on the microblogging website.

Both the Twitter and Facebook accounts for the Ormskirk MotorFest are updated by Life On Cars writer and Champion motoring correspondent David Simister, who has been closely involved with the event since its inception in 2010 and produced the official souvenir magazines for the 2011 and 2012 events.

Work on a new website to promote the 2013 event is also underway, but you can still enter your car or bike by going to www.ormskirkmotorfest.com and filling in the online entry form.

This year's Ormskirk MotorFest takes place from 11am on Sunday, August 25 in Ormskirk town centre, Lancashire.
