On one of the mirror threads someone asked me why this event is no longer bi-annual, and it got me thinking, and this was my reply which I hope you might find of interest... of course it may well not be of interest in which case just scroll past :-) but it does maybe explain my view of our event and where it is going, and maybe encourage a few to get involved :-)

It is currently annual rather than bi-annual due to my family (quite reasonably :-)) wanting more of my time.

However it hasn't quite worked out that way, because I am now more determined than ever to size our event up now that I have more time allocated to organising each meet :-)

Unfortunately I have gotten, over the past couple of years, into the swing of constantly organising Brighton meets so taking six months off just hasn't been working for me. Soooo I have kicked off with sponsors, and potential sponsors already, and as you can see I have started colating a list of who wants to come along :-)

I understand where you are coming from about an event just not matching expectations, which is why I always do my best to keep everyone up to date with where I am when organising the Brighton events - I don't want just me and tumbleweed, or just a few people and less tumbleweed without everyone being aware that that is what it is.

Curently we have quite a bit going for the event, and I am still (and will continue to do so until the day itself) working on everything, trying to pull in the things that we all want or enjoy at an event.. I am working towards this being as they say on 'The Great British Bakeoff' the showstopper :-)

So far we have moved from I think it was seven people attending this event, through to around about 50 or so attending the last two events.. this event is one I am building as we go, event by event, year on year..

We have a facebook account for the event (ermm, yep I am still figuring Facebook out - any help appreciated :-)), a twitter feed, the forum threads, we will be advertising on the tourism websites, and local online newspapers nearer the time and so much more - anything anyone can do to also spread the word and get people on board would be fantastic. Already three companies have agreed to list us in their calendars and we have agreed discounts with another company.. I am on the case :-) But as much as I am working on it it is very much OUR event and any and all input is very, very welcome :-)

 

Good news! Autoglym have just confirmed that they are happy to support our event, and will be supplying a great selection of product samples etc for everyone on the day! Additionally Carphile has given final confirmation that our event will definately be listed as an official event in their calendar, along with some pics from our last event.
Many thanks are due to Autoglym and Carphile!

 

Just a brief update for you:

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - most likely to be on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar only event, and I am working on gaining much more industry support than previously, trying to get close to matching Jims last organised event :-), and ensuring that everyone has a fantastic day to remember.

There will be a convoy on the morning from Pease Pottage Services to the seafront, with us all setting up camp in one huge parking block prior to a fantastic breakfast with a sea view, and the main meet with as much going on as I can pull together for us including a free raffle for a number of must-have goodies, industry reps on site for you to quiz with problems, discounts etc etc. Plus the usual Welcome Packs on the day with free samples, info etc etc.

This thread will only be updated every now and again with the progress of things until closer to the date, so you can dip in and check on things if you want, but it doesn't pop up every time you logon.

If you would like to sign up for this event please just pop a post on the thread inc how many will likely be coming, and car details, and I will add you in, noting you can join just the main event, or the event and convoy. If you prefer, you are also very welcome to drop a line to JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk :-)

Good work Steve, looking great as usual, so no surprise there
Keep up the good work, any help required just ask and if we can we will


Best
Jim

 

Many thanks for that Jim.. I am concentrating on trying to get everything in place for the event between now and Christmas, and then from Christmas to May working on encouraging people to come along and enjoy the day :-)

I am currently in discussions with two quite large possible sponsors that would be a good match for our event, and am trying to negotiate accommodation discounts with a great local hotel so attendees from further afield are guaranteed a good rate if they want to make a weekend of it :-)

As with everything updates will appear as I go.. so far I am really happy with the way it is all coming together but a long way to go yet if this is to be like a 'Great British Bakeoff' Showstopper :-)

I am anticipating needing quite a bit of prime space for signings on the forum events' banner :-)

Many thanks Jim
