OK, Hot off the press..... Articles about our event, and photos from the past three years have now been added to the website - I hope you find them of interest and please remember to get in touch with any thoughts for additions, things I have missed or anything I can do to improve the site for you guys.

Ok guys,

The past couple of months have been busy, stressful, and have dragged me away from everything to do with our event :-(

Two water leaks (one of which was huge) on the S-Type now repaired, family holiday acheived despite my S-Types reluctance to participate, my workplace adding additional responsibilities, the C1 through it's MOT, some unexpected health issues, and my home now partially re-decorated - all in just the last couple of months.

With all that done, and the children now back at school I am back on the case, and feeling somewhat less stressed about things, thankfully :-)

Over the next week or two I will be getting our events' Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook profiles more active and prominent, and then start reworking our new event website.. then around the beginning of October follow up with sponsors who have yet to confirm they wish to remain with us for 2019, and make contact with companies who would make a good fit with our event as sponsors to see if I can interest them in supporting us for our largest event to-date.

Please keep an eye on our forum threads, and social media feeds for the latest as I go - and please, if you have attended a previous event, and enjoyed your day out, let any other Jaguar owners know, and encourage them to sign up for our 2019 event - it would be great if we can make our event the largest free Jaguar event in the south-east :-)

Ok, we have eight months until our next Jaguar event, and it's time for a quick update on where we are with things, how things are progressing and what we are hoping to achieve in 2019.

Currently we are doing well with the following stats already for our 2019 event:

Our Twitter feed has 555 followers
Our Facebook Page has 258 friends
Our Instagram feed has 112 followers
Our 2019 event forum threads have received over 2800 hits
11 Jaguars spanning 1995-2013 are already signed up with 22 attendees
We have nine sponsors confirmed so far
We have two awards confirmed
Two sponsors are already offering incredible discounts to attendees right through from now to our next event

I have restarted the Twitter, & Instagram feeds for our event, the Facebook page is now getting regular updates again, and I am currently raising our profile with our existing confirmed event sponsors prior to making contact with our unconfirmed existing sponsors.

Our venue is confirmed and booked, and I am hoping we can manage around 200 Jaguars for the day spanning at least the usual 60 years or so of production. If we can encourage some of the older classic or unusual Jaguars to attend this year it would be fantastic.

We do now have an event website - it is very much a work in progress, and needs some design TLC however it is a great resource for everyone, giving you access to all the images from our first ever event through to the very latest, with news, info, reviews, articles and more - if anyone has some time to spare and is good with websites please get in touch - I would love to hear from you :-)

You can sign up via our forum threads, Facebook page, Twitter msg, or by emailing and there is even a contact form on the event website - our event is free to sign up for, puts you under no obligation and offers you a full one day Jaguar event with awards, talks, prizes, trade stands, full dealership support, incredible cars & company, and all at a beautiful venue - and its FREE so go on, why not sign up?

Useful links for you include: The event Twitter feed @JFBrightonMeets #MayJagMeet, Facebook page at www.facebook.com/JaguarForumsUK, Website at JaguarForumsUK | Home, email at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk, & finally Instagram @JaguarForumsUK

Considering signing your Jaguar up for our next free one day event?

It really is a great Jaguar day out, and is truly free with the exception of food/drink and the prize draw making it perfect for families through to petrolheads.

Here's what some people have had to say about our event:

Just to let you know that the event website, with links to the threads on here, event photos, information, FAQs etc has now been fleshed out somewhat and is well worth a visit.

Please note that our Forum threads, Facebook page, Twitter feed etc will always have the very latest dynamic info. but for static information our new event website is the place to go :-)

The event website is not all signing and dancing but is hosted free making it ideal for our event :-) It shares the same domain name as the event email and is at www.solidlinux.co.uk

Just to let you know, I have started working my way around our unconfirmed event sponsors - more info to come as I go.

Meanwhile if anyone knows a company that they believe should be involved with our event but are not yet - please let me know and I will try to progress things for us.

Our event is doing well so far :-)

We now have even more photo's online from our 2018 event for you to see (huge thanks to PVD Approved for allowing us to share his photos from the day).
Our new website carrying all the static event info such as photos, links to all our events etc is starting to gain traffic.
We have also had more attendee signups, and have also taken the first bookings for trade stands :-)

I am currently making contact with our unconfirmed sponsors/traders, to see who would be happy to continue supporting us, and possibly take advantage of a trade plot on the day and in the next week or so will start working on our Christmas Competition.

And don't forget our Christmas competition gives you a chance to win a superb gift for your Jaguar, delivered in time for Christmas day ensuring your Jaguar doesn't miss out :-) It starts in just over 10 weeks time - is completely free to enter too! Full details will appear just before the 1st of December.

Meanwhile here are the stats so far, for our 2019 event, for those of you into stats :-)

Our forum threads have amassed over 3,800 hits so far.
The event Facebook page has 261 friends
The event Twitter feed has 559 followers
The Instagram feed is increasing and has 116 followers
We have 10 confirmed event sponsors
We have 2 trade stands already booked
15 Jaguars and 31 attendees signed up

A huge thankyou goes out to everyone involved with our event - we are on track for a fantastic Jaguar day out :-)

I am really not enjoying the new infinite scroll here - apologies if there are any duplicate posts here :-( However I do have some good news for you guys - I have just heard back from Simply Performance and they are very happy to continue their association with our event, and will also be there on the day to meet you :-) Many, many thanks to them for their continued support.

I am currently waiting to hear back from a number of companies I have been in touch with, and will keep you updated as we go - there is a lot going on currently if honest.

Meanwhile, Christmas is coming fast.. we already have had the first frosts and a new Christmas channel has appeared on TV, so next week I will get cracking on our Christmas competition and see what we can manage to guarantee your Jaguar is in with a chance at a great Christmas :-) All the info regarding what you can win, and how to enter will appear in the forum threads and our new event website towards the end of November.

I have been reminded that it would be great if any Jaguar orientated clubs or forums could be found at our event - it is something I have tried to progress before as you know, but without much success.
As you know our event now runs under the name of JaguarForumsUK, and has done so unofficially for a while now - just officially noted this year.. and is not associated directly with any one club or forum.
If you are associated with a Jaguar club or forum that our attendees would love to meet.. please get in touch.
Every year we have the offer of free club plots for Jaguar clubs and forums to enable them to set up stands and meet our attendees - why not drop me a line and lets not just introduce attendees to companies that will help them look after their Jaguars, but also clubs and forums that will support them for the life of their Jag. You can drop a msg to me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, email JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk or even (new) use the contact form at the events website at JaguarForumsUK | Home

OK guys, it's a Friday! This week has been a busy one with quite a bit going on regarding our event.

I am still in the process of making contact with un-confirmed event sponsors, and am about to start planning for our great (FREE as always) Christmas competition.

Additionally I am still mulling over a slight change in the layout of our event making everything more central for us with everything much more accessible on the day. More info on all this to come over time.. but I do genuinely believe we will have a bigger than ever, and more feature packed event than we have had ever before.

Currently we are on schedule with things - here are the stats to-date:

Our forum threads are getting busier and have now received almost 5000 hits
Our event Facebook page has 261 friends
Our event Twitter feed now has 558 followers
Our Instagram account increased its following to 117
The number of confirmed event sponsors is now up to 10
Now that we are accepting trade stand plot requests we have had 5 so far
Even the Presentation slots are now being booked and we have 3 already booked.
We have 16 Jaguars and 32 attendees signed up so far with people signing up through the week.
And we have just closed the deal on our attendee accomodation with guaranteed pricing, and availability of rooms, to guarantee anyone needing accomodation for our event can book it, no matter how busy the hotels etc are in the area at the time of our event.

And one very last point, our event website ( JaguarForumsUK | Home ) is starting to gain traffic - it carries all the event history and images in one place making easier than ever to check our event out, look through our years of pictures, foruim threads, news, sponsor info and more.

If you would like to sign up for our next free Jaguar event please pop a post or message on one of our forum threads, message via www.facebook.com/JaguarForumsUK, msg or tweet to @JFBrightonMeets #MayJagMeet, msg via Instagram JaguarForumsUK, email JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk, or use the contact page at the event website - all you need to do is let us know the model and year of your Jaguar, your name or alias, and how many people will likely be attending and you will be signed up. It's free to sign up for, free to attend, and you get a great Jaguar day out with a convoy and main event, dealership support, awards, prizes, specialist help and support, show prices on must have items, trade stands, talks, great Jaguars, fantastic company and an incredible main venue at the largest wine estate in England, and it is all suitable for everyone from families to petrolheads.

Our event only has two aims - to be free so anyone from any walk of life can not only attend but be equally welcome to a great Jaguar day out, and to put you in touch with companies and products of genuine and real interest to you helping you look after your Jaguar.

Our awards go to Jaguars from every walk of life, you can also win some great prizes, and learn from specialists at the talks on the day - so go on why not give us a go? Your only costs will be accomodation if you need it (and we have a great deal for you on that), any food or drink on the day (we can usually obtain a discount on that at both our start point and main venue for you), and a nominal charge for the prize draw.

That is it.. so go on why not guarantee yourself a place at our event and a great FREE Jaguar day out ?
