This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - most likely to be on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar only event, and I am working on gaining much more industry support than previously, trying to get close to matching Jims last organised event :-), and ensuring that everyone has a fantastic day to remember.

There will be a convoy on the morning from Pease Pottage Services to the seafront, with us all setting up camp in one huge parking block prior to a fantastic breakfast with a sea view, and the main meet with as much going on as I can pull together for us including a free raffle 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. Plus the usual Welcome Packs on the day with free samples, info etc etc.

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.

very much look forward to meeting on the day :-)

 

OK, you know my statistics about our events are not always perfect so please bear with me if I have missed anyone out *but* so far I think we have:

Attendees coming from the Midlands, South Wales, Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Worcestershire, London, and now the Netherlands :-) A much wider geographical spread than our previous events..

The following (rough) breakdown of attending cars as Daimler 6 x 1, S-Type x 8, X-Type x 2, XF x 1, XFR x 1, XJ x 3, XJR x 2, XJ8 x 1, XJS x 1, XK x 1 & XKR x 3 covering years 1995 - 2011.

It would be great to get some of the older Jags (pre 1996) along on the day with maybe some 2014/2015 models as well - if you know anyone with prized Jags in those years please see if they would like to come along as it would be great to cover as many production years as we can..

 

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - most likely to be on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar only event, and I am working on gaining much more industry support than previously, trying to get close to matching Jims last organised event :-), and ensuring that everyone has a fantastic day to remember.

Hi Steve , just looked at " Events " section online in Brighton's newspaper called The Argus but as yet nothing about the gathering in May next year , is it worth a phone call to see if they may be interested in publishing an article and photo's of the day's events , best regards , pauljag ( South Wales ) Further investigation show's they have a Facebook Page as well ..

 

Hi Paul,

Thankyou for the thought, and please keep any other ideas coming :-)

I have previously been in contact with the editor of the Brighton Argus, and a number of their reporters but did not manage to get any coverage.

However I did manage to tie down one of their reporters via Twitter - @Argus_FloraT - who has agreed to see what she can do for us nearer the date.. I will be following up with her in January, along with another potential sponsor that has asked me to recontact them at that time.

Meanwhile though I will revisit the Brighton Argus Events team and give them another go.

Additionally I am still on the case with some more potential sponsors/supporters for our event I would love for us to have onboard but these ones are a little bit harder to persuade and require somewhat more persistence :-(

I will try to get onto The Argus again today, and let you know if we get any further... :-)

 

OK, it's the end of the week - time to sumarise:

We currently have:

Twenty six vehicles and 40 people signed up so far

For the first time ever we have an official event support vehicle

We have an official event photographer with fantastic credentials

Nine major sponsors supporting us plus an advertising sponsor (many many thanks to them for their continued & ongoing support)

Four companies have agreed to list the event as an official event in their calendars

Our VisitBrighton tourist website entry is up online

A range of sponsorship enquiries still on the go

Two potential sponsors being followed up on currently..

Our facebook page (www.facebook.com/JaguarForumsUK ) has eight friends and has even more images of previous events for you to enjoy, right back to our first ever Brighton event!

Our Twitter feed now has 61 followers including some big industry names

Our Forum threads have received almost 15,500 views

We are well on track for the largest Brighton Convoy & Meet to-date!

Many, many thanks to our sponsors, and people who have signed up to attend this event!

Anyone interested in getting involved with this event as a possible sponsor please drop me an email at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk, or tweet me @JFBrightonMeets, or just pop a post up here

Finally, and most importantly anyone interested in attending this event please, please sign yourselves up for what will be a fantastic day out for you, your family, and your Jaguar!

We have a great day planned - samples, discounts and info in your Welcome Packs on the day, prize draw for some great 'must-have' Jaguar items, and so much more to come ... so go on, sign up to this - the FREE Jaguar only event 'The Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet'

 

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - most likely to be on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar only event, and I am working on gaining much more industry support than previously, trying to get close to matching Jims last organised event :-), and ensuring that everyone has a fantastic day to remember.

There will be a convoy on the morning from Pease Pottage Services to the seafront, with us all setting up camp in one huge parking block prior to a fantastic breakfast with a sea view, and the main meet with as much going on as I can pull together for us including a free raffle 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. Plus the usual Welcome Packs on the day with free samples, info etc etc.

Time for a quick update on our event:

Our forum threads have now amassed over 16500 hits!
The Facebook page for our event now has 12 friends
Our Twitter feed has stabilised at 59 followers
We have 10 major sponsors
Three industry reps will be onsite on the day

Thankyou to everyone for your interest and support in our event - we are well on our way to our largest Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet to-date :-)

I have started to ease off on chasing potential sponsors for the moment, and am concentrating on sorting our hot drinks for the start of the event, and accomodation discounts for those of you wanting to make a weekend of the event. These two things are taking a little longer to organise than I had expected so am now concentrating on sorting these before I move on..

As always if anyone has any ideas or thoughts that we could possibly implement please, please just let me know - no guarantees but I am very open to ideas :-)

 

As you will know, Steve *** from CarSnapped is our Official Event Photographer.. if you would like to see some previous examples of his superb work please take a look at his facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CarSnapped and maybe consider friending him there.

 

Simply superb Steve!

 

Thanks for that Jim.

Things are coming together nicely as we go :-)

We have had some offers for the event that we just aren't kitted out for financially or logisitically (one such example was the offer of a Type D Jaguar coming along for the day) but I would love to take advantage of.

So I am already starting to chew over our options for 2017 :-) if I can just swing the offers that I have had so far, for then....

Meanwhile though, yes quite a bit is in place for our next event, but I still have a number of things I am trying to pull into place inc some further sponsors, discounted accomodation plus I am still trying to get the support of a coffee house for our early start.

I am hoping to get everything in place in time for a Christmas break and then in the New Year I will concentrate more on getting attendees signed up..

I will update everyone as we go, as always :-) so keep an eye on this space.. Quite a bit more to come as I go :-)

Hello again Steve , you asked for idea's and I couldn't help but think about that . I thought that a quick email to Brighton Local Radio ( Juice 107.2 - Radio Made In Brighton - Brighton's Local, Music Radio Station with News and Sport for Brighton & Hove ) could help as they cover Brighton and Hove area's on 107.2 FM and could promote the gathering for a few days before and on the day of the meet .. Their " Spirit of the city " section allows non profit organisations to promote their events .. Also , would Beulieu Motor Museum be interested in bringing out one or two of their classic Jaguars , just thinking , pauljag
