Hi all. Sorry I have been quiet but am waiting for a final push in mid November...meanwhile though I now have the banner as well as the decals for the day. Thankyou for that Jim (-:
So things are ready! Just need a couple more weeks to pass.

 

Steve,

I hope you're taking the opportunity before the actual day to have the banner strung across the front of your house for maximum advance publicity.

Graham

 

Thats great Steve, I was just about to mail you to see if you had received it ok.

Don't forget on the day to take a Black sharpie or similar with you, so that any attending members can sign for posterity.

OK less than a month to go - we have advertising, a location, a banner, and JaguarForum emblems.. and a date of the 1st December with a time 10:30am.. with a number of members already signed up.. anyone else want to come along for a day by the seaside? This is a chance for a day out with others that share your interest in Jaguars.. to compare notes, ideas, thoughts, to appear in pics on here and in the local papers in Brighton as a JaguarForums.com member on the first ever official Brighton meet.. why not let Jim or myself know, or put a message up here if you are interested in coming along and helping make this meeting a real first year event.. come on at worst case it's just the cost of parking your car for a morning of our first ever Brighton meet.. drop us a line, or post - and come along!!

 

Steve,

PM me your address as I'd like to get down to see you before the day of the meet

Mike

 

Ok just over two weeks to go until the meet - Jim, do you have access to anything regarding the history, or worldwide size of the forum, or the suchlike that we could maybe feed to the newspapers to get a story running before the event?
Also, anyone wanting to meet in Crawley, and travel down the A23 in convoy *please* drop me a line on here, and if anyone else would like to come along and swell our ranks in Brighton for this our first ever Brighton meet... please, please step forward.. it's going to be a great day on the seafront with photo's going up on here, as well as in the local paper, a chance to meet with the rest of us Jaguar owners in the South-East.. with the classical promenade behind us, fish and chips shops and pier - a good day out whether you want to socialise, talk cars, or just have some fun for all ages :-)

 

Hi Steve,
its getting close now thats for sure. I think we're all looking forward to it and hope its a good turnout, should be a good day!

Re other info - please drop me a pm and let me know what you're looking for and I'll see if I can help

Good luck

 

Yeah, I'm starting to get excited about it too.

I just hope my 4l doesn't let me down as I'm looking forward to driving it there.

Thanks
Mike

 

Hi Mike, Yes definitely looking forward to it... it's going to be a good day - I am hoping to get the local Brighton paper running a story of some kind on it so we have something in print for our first Brighton meet - and yes it'll be a great chance to put faces to names, and cars to people :-) I am hoping a few will meet in Crawley and cruise down as it'll make it even more of an event...
Jim, I'll PM you in the next few days with some ideas of what we could put forward to the paper and let's see if we can get the meet in print with a story as well as pictures :-)
Meanwhile - anyone who hasn't put their name forward but wants to come along please put your name forward so we can add you to the list which gives everyone an idea as to how many are coming along..

 

Meanwhile if anyone has anything we can use on the day in Brighton, to put the banner up please drop me a line :-) Many thanks :-)))

I have quickly sent a message to everyone who we have listed as interested to see who is definitely able to come along on the 1st Dec. Please drop me a line if you aren't on the list yet and would like to come along - you are very, very welcome

 

It's been a while since I last visited this site (sorry!) and have upgraded my Jag since then, I may be tempted to come along to show it off. Is parking much hassle there nowadays? I haven't visited the town of my birth for some years and remember it being quite busy along the Parade, though that has been in summer! How much change should I bring? :-)

 

Hi scm,

Yeah, come along. It'll be a great day.

Bring £10 in change. If it's too much, you can pay for mine too.

On a separate note, I've got a basic OBD 2 reader that I can pop on to anyone's car that needs it.

Thanks
Mike

 

Once word of this offer gets out, expect massive tailbacks on the A23.

Graham

 

That's cool!

Perhaps someone in the queue could then help me with my codes. Lol!

 

There is a very, very slim chance that I will in fact be able to make it in the day. If I can I will let you know the day before. If I don't make it I hope that you guys all have a great time.
