Further, Wild Thyme have agreed to lay on hot bacon rolls from their server counter from around 10am-11am, excellent food, reasonably priced

Rough Itinery for the day.
Please note this is just for reference purposes and to give an idea of what to expect on the day and may be subject to change.

Meet at Stirling services anywhere between 8.30 - 9.00am, the earlier the better. This will be a brief chance to chat whilst awaiting arrival of others.
Ideally I'd like to hand out the welcome packs " gift packs at that time as many as is possible.
The welcome packs are likely to include as follows.
Each individual members "dashboard info" doc ( see attached ) and also name badge for the day, this will help everyone to get acquainted quickly and easily, also a good tool for those of us with failing memories..lol
Hopefully there will also be forum decals, possibly pens and keyrings etc as well as useful literature / leaflets from those generous companies sponsoring the event.

Leave Stirling services as close to 9am as possible for the drive to Glen Turret, should take around 30- 40 mins meaning we'll arrive around 09.45am and get the cars parked up.
We can all have a chat / catch up get to know you session ( nice and friendly and informal ) in and around the distillery which opens around 10am
There should possibly be tea / coffee available and perhaps late breakfast for those that want to take advantage. The food is excellent and pricing reasonable

10.45 - 11.00 am approx. - Around this time it might be a good opportunity to introduce Taggarts employee with the new XE. I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunity to view the car inside n out and ask any questions, perhaps express any interest and or arrange for future test drives.
During this time I will be making everyone aware of the fantastic raffle prizes we have available, to date.....

As above under SPONSORS UPDATE!
!!!!There may be others to add shortly, so watch this space!!!!

Although the whole event / day is FREE for everyone, I intend to ask anyone that's interested to pay £1 per raffle ticket for each prize they're interested in.
ALL funds, which could be considerable will then be added together and everyone who entered will gain entry to a final FREE draw, with 2 winners, total prize fund split around 70/30 so giving someone a nice cash sum. This will perhaps pay for their fuel for the day!
Some considerable time will be taken to gather all / any raffle tickets and work out the draw, this to take place later.

GlenTurret Distillery - Tours of the distillery showing the processes including 2 whisky tastings are available ( obviously for non drivers ) see attached documents for info on times and pricing
Basic tours take around 1 hour and start around 10.30 am I believe.

Around 12.00 - 12.30 pm we can make the draws for the various raffles, announcing the winners and handing out prizes won and a chance to thanks the sponsors for their help in making this event FREE for all.
1pm approx. - Forum banner will be made available for signing for everyone for posterity. We hope to get a group picture of everyone there BEHIND the banner this time...lol

I'd encourage everyone to take as many pics and or videos of the day as possible for posting into the forum thread for all to see later.

As near to 1pm as possible, exit the distillery and take the scenic loch side drive along Loch earn up to Lochearnhead, cut back on the A84 towards Callander and ultimately Stirling and disperse from there.
Here's hoping for sunshine, looking forward to a great day

Just a quick note, as I am not around much weekends, to wish you good luck with the weather and the meet - I really look forward to hearing how it all went for you guys...

All the very best to you on Sunday!

 

Thanks Steve, much appreciated mate
We'll get a few pics posted on up afterwards of course, maybe even some video?

 

I'm sure I probably don't have to ask, but.....

Can everyone try to take as many pics as possible on the day, it'll be good to get them posted to the thread afterwards, I can guarantee it doesn't matter how many pics I take, I'll miss something so just try to cover myself.

Also, anyone with any video / GoPro or similar that can video any of the day, car convoy or similar would be fantastic!!
Thanks
Jim

 

Spoke to Taggarts today and I believe that we might have the following on the day....

Jaguar XE R Sport







And maybe this too.....


F type R AWD

 

1 day to go !!!

 

The gathering is nearly upon us , now it's time to try & clean the jag in between the showers ��

 

Rain, rain, go away.........

 

I truly hope that you are as lucky with the weather as we were for the Brighton meeting.


But, have a great time no matter what the weather.

 

Thanks Andrew, appreciate the sentiment mate

 

Done ready for tomorrow.........









Hoping for decent weather.........even just dry would be good!

 

Good work chaps.

I didn't bother towelling mine down, since some of the water washing off the suds hadn't even been through Scottish Water's systems.

Although I can say that thanks to Jim I have now - for the first time ever - sponged tyres and the insides of my wheelarches!!!

 

So, get a text from Tom Bell, Trooper 2142, he's on his way back from Ireland.
He texts me, he's on the ferry and a Jaguar came on right behind him, so he gets talking to the driver, telling him about JF and the meet he's going to.


The guy says, that's funny, I'm heading over to a Jag meet in Crieff, with my sister who has just came over from America.
Turns out to be Will Sheridan ( Digital Will )
Tom laughs and says, I'll see you tomorrow then!!!
small world eh??

 

Just finished detailing my motor but mother nature was having none of it. Hey ho....really looking forward to tomorrow

 

6 am polish session for me tomorrow , c u all in the morning

 

Late reply but I should be able to make it. Dropping off family at Aberdeen airport at 04:30, then having a power nap, before heading down the road. No time for a good polish unfortunately.

 

Yes, even after the work we did today, I think the plan is ( the plan is always subject to change though ) get up early and see what the weathers done / doing and perhaps a quick last minute wipe over?

 

Wheelchair Access
There is wheelchair access throughout the Famous Grouse Experience according to their website

 

BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A MEET!!!!!


Suns shining, birds are singing and not one of them has crapped all over my motor today???
Highly unusual.......they know better, lol


See you all shortly

 

Who will be first with a pic?
