This hierarchy covers activities which people do mainly for the purpose
of recreation. Nevertheless, discussion may be expected at all levels
of expertise, both professional and amateur, and may include both
utilitarian and recreational aspects of the subject. It is not always
helpful to set up separate groups for these aspects and thus the
placement of many topics within this category may be seen (especially
with hindsight) as being somewhat arbitrary.

See, therefore, the remarks under uk.transport.*.

See also uk.games.*.

uk.rec.cars.*

This is an important sub-hierarchy of uk.rec.*, with its own sub-charter:

For the discussion of the technicalities and usage of cars within
the UK. Although such usage will mostly be of a recreational nature,
discussion of non-recreational usage is not forbidden. Groups may exist
under this hierarchy for different types of car (classic, sports, etc.)
and for different activities involving cars (maintenance, etc.)
and for different makes or models.
 
Note that motorcycles should be discussed under uk.rec.motorcycles,
rallying, hill climbing and the like should be discussed under
uk.rec.motorsport.*, and commercial operations and matters of transport
policy should be discussed under uk.transport.*.
