Thank you Maureen for correcting what I said about the ILCA site. A link 
costs you a US$100 fee unless you are an affiliate but basic listings are 
free.

My apologies. As a longtime member and supporter of ILCA, I also wasn't 
denigrating ILCA's position.

The MIDIRS site that I mentioned has an excellent international 
representation of events (including ILCA's). Perhaps that's why I am so 
impressed by its usefulness for an international audience like Lactnet.

I will include both free and fee-paying sources when I do this list.
