I have a little more good news for you guys - Anglian Remaps have just signed up with us for our 2019 event, and will be taking advantage of one of our free trade plots on the day. Additionally I have news of one other incredible sponsor who produces the most beautiful must-have items for Jaguar owners - I will be talking to them early next year to see what we can arrange with them for you guys - more news to follow as we go.

A huge thankyou goes to Anglian Remaps, and our 'mystery' sponsor for signing up with our event - I genuinely appreciate the incredible support we get from everyone associated with our event helping us to make our Jaguar day the incredible, and unique, free day out it is for everyone.

Entries are still coming in for our Christmas competition - Don't forget you need to get your entry in by the 9th of December to be in with a chance at one of five prizes we have for you this year... and you can even sign up for our 2019 event at the same time as entering the competition, guaranteeing you not just a great chance at a prize to make your Christmas a great Jaguar Christmas, but also an incredible Jaguar day out!

Did you know that at our 2019 event you can talk to specialists regarding your Jaguar leather, performance and parts, engine tuning, paint protection, servicing, repairs and more? And the list is growing.. add to that the five Jaguar clubs and forums you can meet, and full dealership support onsite - we have a great (free) Jaguar event for you. Why not sign up your Jaguar now and join us on the day?

Please note we have two additional event sponsors not yet listed, as I am waiting on final confirmation and details from them.

They will take us to 16 official event sponsors so far, with 7, possibly 8 trade stands covering everything from dealership facilities, to leather and paint care, detailing, valeting, performance parts, servicing, repairs, & even luggage - all specialists that understand your Jaguars needs and will be onsite to meet you.

I am also still in discussions with Jaguar clubs and forums to see if we can offer even more on that front for you too.

I am also hoping to start listing the promised product reviews at the event website in January for you, and in the meanwhile please don't forget there is only a few days left to enter our free Christmas competition.

It's a wet and dreary Friday morning so maybe it's time to brighten it up with our weekly stats on our event and how we are doing so far.

It has been another busy week for our event with more incredible sponsors signing up for our event, more trade stands, more pledged prizes, and more :-)

Also, if you haven't entered the free Christmas competition yet, please make sure you get your entry in before midnight Sunday 9th of December or you will risk missing out on a great Jaguar Christmas :-)

Our event is ahead of schedule with everything, and subject to all the usual, looks likely to be over double the size of our last event :-) We already have more trade stands, club & forum stands booked than ever before, and there is just under six months to go until the day.. next month I will be starting to keep an eye on the long range weather forecasts.. fingers crossed.

For those of you into statistics here are the statistics on where we are so far:

Our forum threads have received over 10,100 hits
Our new event website has received over 2,800 page views
Our events' Facebook page has 320 friends
Our event Twitter feed has 572 followers
Our Instagram account is still growing and has 139 followers
As of this morning we have 15 confirmed sponsors
We have 7 trade stands booked
We have 5 club/forum stands/plots booked
3 Presentation slots are booked so far and will increase as we approach the day
We have 5 confirmed awards you are in with a chance at
We have 67 people, and 44 Jaguars spanning from 1955 right through to 2016 signed up so far

We have the Christmas competition running until Sunday, with prizes arriving with the winners in time for Christmas, and then I will be starting work on the paperwork side of the event over the Christmas period, and in January I will be kicking off a real push to encourage attendee signups, to ensure no one misses out on the largest free Jaguar event we have ever run :-)

Our Christmas competition is now CLOSED (as of midnight last night) and the five winners of a great Jaguar Christmas are being contacted this morning - congratulations to the winners, and if you didn't win please remember event attendees have a great discount on the entire Scratchshield product range from now until Christmas :-)

Just to let you know I am in early talks with a Jaguar experience provider regarding our event and a possible prize for our prize draw on the day itself - as soon as I have more concrete information I will let you know :-)

Ok, I can now confirm that we have teamed up with a Jaguar experiences company ClassicJaguarDrives.co.uk they supply Jaguar experiences - whether it be taster sessions, roadtrips, or even daily hire of gorgeous classic Jaguars, and with prices from just £59.

I am happy to say that as part of the sponsorship deal we have with them they will be offering a passenger place on a roadtrip worth up to £500 as a prize in our Prize Draw on the day. An absolutely massive thankyou to them for their sponsorship of our annual Jaguar event.

For those of you curious as to whether you have won any of the five prizes available in our events' Christmas competition please take a look at the competition page at our event website at JaguarForumsUK | Home - all the information is there :-)

Incidentally our Friday Ad advert that we keep in place all year round is proving productive, as we have just had an enquiry about three classic Jaguars that may be signing up for our 2019 event - they (as in the owners :-)) are not on email or the internet, so I have posted details across to them.. :-) Last year we had a number of last minute arrivals due to our FridayAd advert too :-)

A little more news for you guys - the incredible Scratchshield Wash Systems that were won in the event Christmas competition are already on their way to the winners, and I am just waiting on confirmation that the absolutely must-have Robornes Leather Cleaning Kits, and the incredible personalised engraving have also gone out. Congratulations to all five winners and please have a fantastic Jaguar Christmas :-)

Meanwhile a professional photographer with experience of automotive photography has come forward regarding our event, and we are in the final negotiations regarding things - fantastic news for us. I will update everyone as soon as I have the final details :-)

I am very happy to announce that Rocket Photographic (rocketphoto.co.uk) are coming onboard as official event photographers for our 2019 event. They have been involved with automotive photography for both owners and prominent magazines and will be a good match for us. Please join me in welcoming them to our event :-)

OK guys, Friday has finally arrived and not a day too soon for me. With Christmas approaching there has been quite a bit going on here..

Our Christmas competition is now closed (until our Christmas 2019 one :-)) and the prizes have already started to arrive with the winners in plenty of time for Christmas, as promised.

We have gained two additional sponsors, with our 'mystery' sponsor still yet to be added early next year further to some upcoming talks, and we have been lucky enough to be able to sign up a professional photographer for our upcoming event :-)

Everything is pretty much on schedule overall, and you all know what I am up to over the Christmas period, prior to a big push for attendee signups in January/February to start developing that side of things.

Also, our event website is slowly growing in terms of weekly hits, and our social media accounts have been gaining friends/followers from Europe as well as the UK this week.

For those of you into the statistics, here are the stats showing you where we are so far with our event :-)

Our forum threads have received almost 11,000 hits
Our event website has now received over 2900 page views
Our event Twitter feed now has 571 followers
Our event Facebook page has 335 friends
Our Instagram feed has 145 followers
We have 16 official event sponsors
We have 6 Trade stands booked
We have 5 Club/Forum stands booked
We have 44 Jaguars booked and 67 attendees signed up
The attending Jaguars span production from 1955 to 2016 so far
We have 5 awards up for grabs
and 3 Presentation slots booked so far

If you haven't signed up for our event yet, please consider doing so - we have everything you have come to expect with our event but with more stands, bigger prize draw prizes, a quiz to test your Jaguar knowledge, clubs and forums attending to meet you and more... remember our event is truly free and you only need to pay a small fee to enter the prize draw on the day, and pay for food/drink - there are no other costs at all with this event :-) So why not give it a go? It is a great day out for you, your family and your Jaguar and it's free.. :-)

It's the last Friday before Christmas, and over the period I will be working on the background parts of the event including the dashboard sheets, and the quiz development, so I thought rather than the usual list of stats I would just take this opportunity to bring everyone upto date with what we have booked so far for our 2019 event.

We have a growing list of incredible event sponsors, we have trade stands, forum and club stands, talks by the pro's, a quiz to test your knowledge of Jaguar, the biggest prize draw fund to-date, awards covering Jaguars from every walk of life, samples, discounts, information, specialist advice, & products at event prices..

Also our list of sponsors will hopefully increase early in 2019 subject to talks with an incredible company that produces the most beautiful Jaguar accessories we have ever seen - more info to follow on this.

Curently at our convoy & meet event you can discuss leather repairs and protection, paint care, servicing, repairs, upgrades, valeting & detailing, engine remapping, & meet myself from JaguarForums.com, and people from JagChat.net, XKEC, F-Type EC, and JEC.. specialists on hand to discuss any issues you may have, even full dealership support should you want it will be onsite.

So go on, why not treat yourself and your Jaguar to a great Jaguar day out - it's completely free, and suitable for anyone be they a petrolhead or a family.. why not sign your Jaguar up this Christmas for a great day out?

In the meanwhile please have a fantastic Jaguar Christmas, and New Year (and don't forget to sign up for our event :-))

First of all a very Happy New Year to everyone :-)

I have managed to get the dashboard sheets designed and printed up, but am still working on the Quiz feature, so not as ahead on things as I had hoped for, but getting there, and still close to on target with things.

If you have already signed up for this years event, we have the biggest event to-date with club and forum participation as well as the trade, in addition to the new Quiz to see who amongst our attendees is the most knowledgable about Jaguar.

If you haven't signed up yet, please do so, and the sooner the better, to guarantee your slot at our free Jaguar day out - it's free to sign up for, free to attend, with discounts, samples, talks, awards, prizes, trade stands and even club and forum participation - it is an event run by Jaguar enthusiasts for Jaguar enthusiasts on a non existent budget but still managing all the features you would expect at a ticketed event.

So why not start off 2019 by making it a Jaguar year and signing up for our free event? You might even get to drive away with one of our show awards on the day :-)

Welcome to the first Friday of 2019, and the start of the countdown to our Convoy & Meet Event :-)

We have just 142 days to go, and I still have (as always at this point in the event year) quite a bit I have yet to pull into place.

The dashboard sheets are completed, and I am currently working on the Jaguar quiz feature - I still have yet to complete all the questions and get the print run done.

We already have some of the Welcome Pack goodies through, and I will be getting in touch with the remainder of our sponsors in March to progress the remaining items I know you all look forward to receiving on the day.

The Convoy route maps will be specific to our event from this year onwards, rather than the generic AA route mapping we have used to-date. Again something else I am in progress with and will help improve your experience on the day.

Our Facebook friends and Twitter/Instagram followers have been on the increase, which is great, and our event is now proving of interest to some European Jaguar clubs as well as individuals from a number of countries..

Our Christmas competition went well, hopefully giving the five lucky winners a great Jaguar Christmas - which was also a landmark for us as it was the biggest Christmas competition we have been able to run to-date.

This years event is without doubt the biggest and most complex one to-date - we have convoy & main event elements, trade stands, show prices, forums and clubs there to meet you, full dealership support, awards, prizes, talks by the Pro's, a quiz to test your Jaguar knowledge, discount codes, samples, free Welcome Packs, discount drinks at the start point, and (hopefully) discounted food and drink at the main venue to keep you going on the day. If you are travelling some distance to get to the event we even have fixed price accomodation with guaranteed availability until close to the day.. so if you have yet to sign up - please do so and soon..it costs nothing to sign up for, it is free to attend, and you will have a great Jaguar day out suitable for everyone from petrolheads to families.

As is usual for a Friday here are the stats on how we are doing so far:

We have received over 12,500 hits on the event forum threads
We currently have 47 Jaguars signed up spanning over 60 years of production
