Getting some errors whilst validating, im slowly working my way through them but i have some coding that i just cant work out

As title says im getting an error saying

Line 323, Column 231: end tag for "br" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

Credit and Debit Cards.</a><br><br>Copyright &copy; 2009 <a href="http://www

and also

k" target="_blank">CBR Media</a><br><br><a href="http://www.bodykitsonline.co

These lines are amongst the whole custom footer i have added:

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', '<div class="spacer"><img src="includes/templates/custom/images/cards.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="30" /></div>South West Motorsport accept these Credit and Debit Cards.</a><br><br>Copyright &copy; 2009 <a href="http://www.bodykitsonline.co.uk/" >South West Motorsport</a><br>Pictures belong to their owners.

Can someone show me what i should have placed in the code so it validates correctly.
