Steve, sad to say the third Dutch participant won't be coming.
Job forces him to be at the other side of the Atlantic.
He's sorry,and so am I.
Would have been nice to have a mint XJ40 amongst the lot.

 

Don't worry Haddock - Very happy the two of you can make it :-)
Meanwhile we do have 40 years of production coming, and I am still working on trying to track down some of the more unusual or rare Jags ... :-)

 

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - with the main venue being Madiera Drive on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar EXCLUSIVE event, and I am working on gaining much more industry support than previously, and ensuring that everyone has a fantastic day to remember.

The initial meeting point will be Pease Pottage Services, with an indoor area aset aside for us and 20% discount on anything from Costa (remember to say you are with the JaguarForums.com event to get your discount) to help get your day started. The Welcome Packs will be handed out at this point, and the main features of the day covered.

Then there will be a convoy down to the Brighton seafront creating a huge Jaguar statement with up to 100 cars, all setting up camp in one huge parking block in Madiera Drive.

There will be a fixed price breakfast laid on for attendees on arrival in Brighton, at a cost of £4.99 for the recommended (two of everything :-)) breakfast, plus drinks at individual prices or £2.60 for unlimited drinks. We are booked in the Harvester in Madiera Drive - remember to say you are with the JaguarForumns.com event when ordering.

The only other cost for the day is the parking which is likely to be £3.20 for one hour, £5.20 for 2 hours, £10.40 for 4 hours or £15.60 for 11 hours (Brighton Council are reviewing the rates in April though ).

CaptainHam has suggested setting up & using the pay by phone parking app on your phone prior to the day (saves fishing around in pockets for change, or in this case, notes)

The main meet will follow on from then with as much going on as I can pull together for us including a free prize draw 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. Not forgetting that this is your chance to meet up with all the people you know online, maybe advise them on any issues you have solved or figured and for others to help you out with any issues and to check out up to 100 Jaguars including the new Jaguar F-Pace AWD!!

Plus, if you want to make a weekend of it, we have teamed up with HolidayInn Express in Crawley and have a fixed discounted rate of £54 a night for attendees, plus guaranteed availability of rooms for us :-) please see their details below, or follow this link HolidayInn Express Crawley. Just remember to quote that you are with the 'JaguarForums.com' event to get guaranteed avalability and the fixed discounted rate of £54 a night.

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 sign up by dropping a line to JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk :-)

Guus

 

Hi Steve, please can you take our Jaguar S Type off your list as it will not be attending the run ( total engine failure / beyond repair ) and replace it with a 1995 Jaguar XJ6 3.2 ( still x3 people ) instead , which we've just purchased , many thanks , pauljag ...

 

Hi Xag - I am soo glad the hotel booking went smoothly. We have guaranteed availability for anyone else wanting to make a weekend of our event too. Many thanks to Holiday Inn Express Crawley for doing this for us.

Hi PaulJag - I am back on the case today, and commiserations (really not sure on that spelling) on the loss of your S-Type and congratulations on your new XJ6 (only three years more classic than my XJ :-))I will get the event attendee list updated later today.

Just as a point of info I am still working on a surprise attendee that I am sure everyone will be interested in, one further possible sponsor, and a quite big visual Jaguar surprise for the event. I will of course update everyone as these last few things (hopefully) come into place.

UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2015 in Brighton
UK South East Meet December 2014 in Brighton

 

So far we have 53 cars, and 86 people signed up for our great Jaguar day by the seaside!

We have 14 official event sponsors, free Welcome packs on arrival, discounted Costa drinks at the first venue, a fixed price breakfast at the second main venue, a free prize draw for 'must-have' goodies, photo shoots, banner signing, not one or two but four companies onsite in their official capacity!

We even have discounted rooms with guaranteed availability for attendees wanting to make a weekend of it.. and there is so much more - we have attendees from Wales, the Midlands, the West, as well as from the South East and even the Netherlands!

We have the social content, cars to view and hear.. everything from the fuel efficient diesels through to V12 petrol performance engines, I am trying to get even more packed into the day for us.. PLUS in our location we will have access to the pier, amusements, a large shopping centre with everything from small designer shops to huge high street outlets..

So so much for you, your Jaguar and your family!

At the event you will also get freebies, info, and discount codes and vouchers all of use and interest to help you look after your Jaguar - in addition to all the advice you can get from the professionals onsite regarding sales, servicing, lubrication, and even transmissions!

Why not sign up now for what is genuinely the biggest and best Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet we have ever organised!!

 

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - with the main venue being Madiera Drive on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar EXCLUSIVE event, and I am working on gaining much more industry support than previously, and ensuring that everyone has a fantastic day to remember.

The initial meeting point will be Pease Pottage Services, with an indoor area aset aside for us and 20% discount on anything from Costa (remember to say you are with the JaguarForums.com event to get your discount) to help get your day started. The Welcome Packs will be handed out at this point, and the main features of the day covered.

Then there will be a convoy down to the Brighton seafront creating a huge Jaguar statement with up to 100 cars, all setting up camp in one huge parking block in Madiera Drive.

There will be a fixed price breakfast laid on for attendees on arrival in Brighton, at a cost of £4.99 for the recommended (two of everything :-)) breakfast, plus drinks at individual prices or £2.60 for unlimited drinks. We are booked in the Harvester in Madiera Drive - remember to say you are with the JaguarForumns.com event when ordering.

The only other cost for the day is the parking which is likely to be £3.20 for one hour, £5.20 for 2 hours, £10.40 for 4 hours or £15.60 for 11 hours (Brighton Council are reviewing the rates in April though ).

CaptainHam has suggested setting up & using the pay by phone parking app on your phone prior to the day (saves fishing around in pockets for change, or in this case, notes)

The main meet will follow on from then with as much going on as I can pull together for us including a free prize draw 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. Not forgetting that this is your chance to meet up with all the people you know online, maybe advise them on any issues you have solved or figured and for others to help you out with any issues and to check out up to 100 Jaguars including the new Jaguar F-Pace AWD!!

Plus, if you want to make a weekend of it, we have teamed up with HolidayInn Express in Crawley and have a fixed discounted rate of £54 a night for attendees, plus guaranteed availability of rooms for us :-) please see their details below, or follow this link HolidayInn Express Crawley. Just remember to quote that you are with the 'JaguarForums.com' event to get guaranteed avalability and the fixed discounted rate of £54 a night.

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 sign up by dropping a line to JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk :-)
