I have got a little way with some searching on the web.
This is what I have come up with....

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^events/(.*).html /event.php?eventcode=$1 [L]

I would expect that this url....

example.com/events/swimming_in_the_pool.html
....would end up executing this page...
example.com/event?eventcode=swimming_in_the_pool
.... however, I am getting a return code of 404 - Not found.

Any ideas?

Thanks
