In case you haven't figured it out by now, the button bar at the top of the page is how you can navigate the club listing section of my Web pages.
Click on the flag of the nation you are interested in and that will load up the appropriate listing.
In the case of countries like Canada and the United States, when you click on the flag, you will be given another menu breaking down the country into states or provinces. States, like California, with a huge number of clubs, will be further broken down by model. So if you want a Mustang club, you click on the link for Mustang clubs.
Within each page you will find headings similar to those you see below:
If your state has enough clubs in it, I will break down the club listings into sections by model(s). Otherwise I will put all the state's clubs onto one page. So be sure to scroll down!
This section will list clubs that are regional for your state. Clubs that are limited to a small geographic area, like a county or city, will be in the "Local Clubs" section.

This is what a typical listing looks like:
Open to all Thunderbird owners. We have frequent fun road trips and get togethers, with members from throughout Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and other states. Leave a phone or e-mail message for membership info.
Last Update: 29 December, 1997As you can see, there is a small symbol by the club's name. That symbol informs you that this particular club is a regional chapter of a much larger club. Clicking on the symbol will take you to the listing of the larger club.
If the name of the club is underlined, then that is a link to that club's Web page. If you have have not set your browser to override the colors of my page, then the words Pacific Northwest Chapter should be black and underlined. If you have visited that link within a certain period of time (see your browser's settings), then the link will be gray. Some pages have colors that vary, but the vast majority are black text. If you are unsure, your pointer will turn into a hand with the index finger pointing when you pass over a link.
By the way, the club I am using as an example is being used as an example because it has a great looking Web site. Even if you aren't living in Washington state, take a look!
Sometimes there won't be an emblem, but rather part of the name of club will be a link, not the entire name. That also means the club is part of a larger organization. Clicking on the linked portion of the club's name will take you to the listing of the larger club. You can practice on the following example.
If you see any e-mail addresses, for your convenience, I have provided a way for your browser to send e-mail to that person simply by clicking on the e-mail address. Not all browsers support this, but most do. If yours doesn't, well, just write down the address and do it the "old fashioned" way!
As for the mailing address. I check all of the United States (that includes all territories and commonwealths) addresses at the US Postal Service site. If you see a ZIP+4 code (9 digit), then the address is in the USPS database. I've corrected the spelling and if you send mail, it will get there. If you only see the ZIP code (5 digit), then that address was not in the USPS database and I could not get any variations of the spelling to work. Mail may or may not arrive there. I try to recheck those addresses later since the USPS database is not perfect. But more often than not, I never do find those addresses in the database.
At the bottom of each page you will find some more buttons. The mail slot sends e-mail to me. Arrows send you back to the index you came from. For example if you are looking at Canadian provinces, the arrow will take you back to the Canadian index. Essentially the same thing as clicking on the flag again for some pages, but for other pages, like California, there is no flag in the button bar at the top.
I'm sure you can figure out the rest of the buttons. You can't "fry" your computer by clicking on any of my buttons. So go ahead and try one if you are unsure of what it does.
