MASCOT Supplement May-June 2006

Directory of ASCO Website Commercial Links

The ASCO website, www.asco.org.uk, contains a considerable amount of potentially useful contact information for Singer owners, but it is not available to those who do not have internet access. I have therefore produced this Directory of the links currently on the site.

The contact details given are for businesses that offer goods and/or services which may be of benefit to Singer car owners. They are included for information only, and ASCO can take no responsibility for the quality of the goods and services offered, nor can we intercede in any dispute which may arise from their use.

Many of the businesses listed are on the recommendation of people who have used them for the supply of goods or services, so if you have found a particular firm to provide good service, please let me know and I will add it to the list for the benefit of other members.

Such additions will be notified in the Mascot under "asconet update" so you will be able to keep your copy of the Directory up to date.

Webmaster note: If you are reading this you must have web access! Nevertheless I thought this listing was sufficiently useful to reproduce here. All phone numbers are UK.
