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 :-)

OK, it's the end of the week - time to sumarise:

We currently have:


Nineteen vehicles and thirty people signed up so far

For the first time ever we have an official event support vehicle

We have an official event photographer with fantastic credentials

Seven
main sponsors supporting us plus an advertising sponsor (many many thanks to them for their continued & ongoing support)

Two sponsors will be attending, and onsite for all your questions

Three companies (inc. ITV Meridian) have agreed to list the event as an official event in their calendars

Our VisitBrighton tourist website entry is queued ready for January

A range of sponsorship enquiries still on the go

Two potential sponsors being followed up on currently..

Our facebook page www.facebook.com/JaguarForumsUK is starting to gain some friends, and has a huge selection of photos there from our previous events.

Our Twitter feed @JFBrightonMeets #MayJagMeet now has 40 followers, and is doing well.

The forum threads for our event have so far amassed almost 9,000 hits!

We are well on track for the largest Brighton Convoy & Meet to-date!

Many, many thanks to our sponsors, and people who have signed up to attend this event!

Over the next week I will be also chasing the VisitBrighton website to see if we can get our entry up sooner rather than later, and trying to progress a deal for discounted accomodation for anyone wanting to make a weekend of the event.

Anyone interested in getting involved with this event as a possible sponsor please drop me an email at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk, or tweet me @JFBrightonMeets, or just pop a post up here

Finally, and most importantly anyone interested in attending this event please, please sign yourselves up for what will be a fantastic day out for you, your family, and your Jaguar!

We have a great day planned - samples, discounts and info in your Welcome Packs on the day, prize draw for some great 'must-have' Jaguar items, and so much more to come ... so go on, sign up to this - the FREE Jaguar only event 'The Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet'

Thankyou for that.. Unfortunately Mrs S had thought that if I halve the number of meets per year it would halve the time I spent on things.. hasn't quite worked out that
way, but instead has given me way more time between meets to try to get things organised a little better:-)

I am trying to make our event as complete as I can with sponsorship from a wide range of services/products we all need and use, through to the reps onsite to quiz, accommodation deals for anyone making a weekend of it, a bigger prize draw and so on.. I am getting there, but still quite a way to go trying to get everything that I would like to be available to you guys. As always only about 50% of what I try to do is making it through but so far - so good :-)

One plus this year that I haven't mentioned to-date, is I have finally managed to get a Brighton Argus reporter interested in our event.. and she has agreed to see what she can do for us nearer the time - I am hoping we can get our events story in the paper this time - only taken us 2 & 1/2 years to manage this lol

Thankyou once again for your kind comments and please keep an eye on things here, or on Facebook, or on Twitter - there's afew things yet to come into place for us :-)

Steve, thanks for the update on this....


I had a laugh at the "Unfortunately Mrs S had thought that if I halve the number of meets per year it would halve the time I spent on things.. hasn't quite worked out that
way, but instead has given me way more time between meets to try to get things organised a little better:-)"
so so true I'm sure.


I genuinely know the amount of time it takes to organise something of this magnitude, to have so much going on, so much available and so many attending, so once again, kudos to you my friend.


I know it'll be a great day out

I am pleased to say that across the three forums carrying this thread currently we have now had over 10,000 hits! Which is an incredible degree of interest for which I can only thank you guys.

We have some months to go, and as the weeks clock by I am hoping to get everything pulled together, and for more people to sign up to attend making it our biggest and best Brighton Convoy & Meet to-date. For it to become the 'Showstopper' that puts our event firmly and permanently in the Brighton Car Event Calendar.

I am hoping for some news on the accommodation front this week, along with hopefully good news about our VisitBrighton entry, and the latest sponsorship info for you.. so please keep an eye on this space, and if you are wondering whether to sign up or not, just sign up, please - there is absolutely no cost to this event apart for the parking and fixed price breakfast costs on the day (and I will advise you of exactly what those costs are nearer the time as I don't want anyone not knowing what they need to budget for the day).

If you want to sign up you can sign up on any of the forum threads, or by tweeting me at @JFBrightonMeets popping a note on our facebook page www.facebook.com/JaguarForumsUK, or emailing me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk - it costs nothing, and guarantees you, your family, and your Jag a fantastic day out!

Equally please follow our Twitter feed as we go @JFBrightonMeets #MayJagMeet, friend our Facebook page www.facebook.com/JaguarForumsUK, or even better sign up to the forum carrying this thread and keep up with things that way..

Many thanks to everyone for their support to-date for what is OUR great Jaguar event!

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 (see Industry Attendees list below to see who will have reps onsite) 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 :-)
