Don't forget (excuse the pun :-)) we have the free service (yes another freebie) of the 'Don't Miss a Thing' texting service for the 2017 event. Just drop me a msg, f/book post or email with your name and number and I will add you into this service.

You will get a few texts as we approach the event with any news, and on the day you will get a free alert before any main events on the day. Your number will not be shared with anyone, and you will be unsubscribed after the event itself.

So, go on - another great freebie you can sign up for with our event :-)

 

Hello Steve , just looking at the years of production and was thinking how nice it would be to see the cars lined up and parked next to each other from the 1954 through to the 2016 entries to show how the Jaguar brand has grown and evolved and would make one hell of a photo opportunity , it would take a lot of planning sure , but imagine if you could walk along a line of awesome Jaguar and see the changes .. just another one of my thoughts , Paul

 

A great idea Paul, I will add it to my to-do list.. maybe we cant manage it at the start of the event, but we could maybe move a selection of our Jags before the group photo - as we will have spare space for manoevering cars on the day (yep I do think I spelt that incorrectly :-) before you wonder) .. good idea

 

Officially less than 100 days to go until our event!! 97 days to be exact :-)

Anyone who is still thinking about signing up, please consider signing up sooner rather than later to guarantee your place on this great free event.

We have a great Jaguar day ahead of us with specialists on site, two prize draws, a judged 'Best Turned Out Jag' award, convoy & main event, glorious surroundings and scenery, award winning wines available, estate tours, tastings, and not one but two restaurants on site.. a great day for the whole family!

So go on pop a post on one of our forum threads, our facebook page, tweet us on our Twitter feed or just pop us an email at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk. We just need to know what model and year of Jaguar and how many will be travelling and you'll be booked in for a fantastic day out - run by Jaguar owners for Jaguar owners :-)

 

Just a reminder of our itinerary for the day :-)

Just to quickly update you with things - the past week or so I have been quiet regarding event organisation, due to Jaguar hunting (and not the tranquiliser gun type :-)) but that came to a blank temporarily so I have concluded this year at least I will have the car that is the talking point at our event :-)

I haven't been completely off the case though, and am currently working on the print runs to produce the event documentation, making sure that you all have the itinerary, Denbies info, and Welcome info in your Welcome Packs for the day.

I will be ramping up the search for the rare and unusual Jaguars out there again, and have started collecting the goodies from our incredible sponsors for our prize draw on the day.

If you have yet to sign up for this great free event please do so - as always, we have a lot of things going on on the day which we would love you to join us for :-)

It's been a while since the last update so you know where we are so far with our event..

Our forum threads hasve amassed almnost 33,000 hits to-date

Our Facebook Page now has 114 friends

Our Twitter feed 363 followers

We have 68 Jaguars signed up spanning 63 years of production

We have 120 people signed up for our Jaguar day

There will be at least 5 trade stands onsite including full Jaguar Dealership Support, Leathercare specialists, Car Care Products, Valetting & Detailing, and even Engine Remapping.

You can catch product demonstrations, products at show prices, make bookings for work, get some work actually completed on site, and access a world of advice and help for you and your Jaguar.

Add to this the offerings from Denbies of Wine Tastings & Tours, and the opportunity to purchase and take home award winning wines.

In your free Welcome Packs on arrival at the start point you will have selected advertising material - yes I know everyone says this, but this is me selecting what we have :-), samples, freebies, your Welcome to our event Letter, Denbies wine tasting/tours info, details of our recommended route to Denbies and more.

We have a main prize draw (for which there is a small charge this year) for a number Jaguar orientated goodies for you, PLUS a second prize draw for a Dinitrol DIY Corrosion treatment and prevention kit for your Jaguar.

Plus the coverted award for Best Turned Out Jag is up for grabs - your Jaguar could be the one!

That is pretty much it for our 2017 event - I do know of one more company currently considering a trade stand at our show though, which would take us to six traders on site to meet you this year.

We have a great venue, incredible cars, fantastic company, and a great day out for all the family PLUS it is FREE to sign up for and attend!! So if you have yet to sign up, why not sign up and join us for a great day?

 

The long range weather forecast suggests mainly sunshine and warm temperatures leading up to our event, and on the day! :-) I'll keep an eye on it nonetheless between now and then...

Evening Steve
Newbie Graham Wood from Burwash. Jane, my wife and I would like to join you for the 2017 Convoy / Denbies event, assuming I'll have the Badcat back on the road by then. 1998. X100 XKR 4.4Litre 'Badcat' prototype.

 

Hi Steve. I am planning to attend the convoy/event in my 2007 XK convertible. As things stand I will be on my own, but that might possibly change to myself + 1 by the time the event rolls around. :-)

 

Welcome to the 2017 Annual Convoy & Meet Event

This FREE event will be taking place on Sunday 28th May 2017 - with the main venue being Denbies Wine Estate, near Dorking.

The options being: Full English breakfast with Tea or Coffee & Orange juice £8.25, a Bacon or Sausage Buttie £3.50, and a Bacon or Sausage Buttie with Egg £4.75.

Just a reminder of our itinerary for the day :-)

Itinerary for our Annual Jaguar Convoy & Meet (2017)

9:30am Starting point of event at Pease Pottage Services for event registration, with Welcome Packs handed out, and Welcome speech.

10:15am Depart for our main venue, Denbies Wine Estate.

11:00am Our Jaguars should be parking up, and everyone heading off for breakfast, noting the costs are listed in the main forum thread.

2:30pm Main Prize draw for a number of great Jaguar orientated prizes, noting there will be a small charge for tickets for this.

3:00pm A second free Prize Draw for a Dinitrol Corrosion Treatment and Protection Pack for your Jaguar.

3:15pm Presentation of the judged award for the 'Best Turned Out Jag - 2017'

3:30pm Group photo shoots and final summary speech prior to the end of our day.

Please note that in addition to socialising, checking over our Jaguars and meeting the companies joining us on the day, Denbies are also laying on tours of the wine estate, and wine tasting experiences for us. These additional features will be charged for by Denbies, but do represent a great chance to learn about this, the largest wine estate in England, and their award winning wines.

 

Just 82 days to go now until our event and I am currently working my way round our sponsors to collate anything and everything as early as I can to ensure everything is with me and ready for the day.

Our Facebook page has been seeing quite a few signups in the last week or so, and our Twitter feed has picked up yet more followers. Our event is now being watched by people from all around the world, and by quite a number of events and companies. 2018 promises to be even bigger by the looks of it if this continues :-)

Additionally it's great to see signups for our 2017 event, by people who have attended our previous events - I promise you we have a bigger and better event than ever before this year :-)

I have been looking at routes for the convoy element and have settled on one route which is fairly easy to map and give printed directions for, and still passes some great and varied scenery. I am hoping to get them printed out over the next week or so for everyone.

I have been going over the arrangements here and do very much need help on the day with a few things - esp with the likelihood I will now be in my backup car on the day :-)

1) If anyone can meet at my place on the morning of the event, or maybe the night before, and help with moving 200 goodie bags, and the prizes for the day.

2) Anyone who can help with the initial event registration and handing out goodie bags to everyone

3) Anyone happy to help directing cars at Denbies Wine Estate first thing on the day

I really do need assistance with these things - please drop me a line, or email, or Tweet if you could possibly be of help with any of these things.

Equally if you know of anyone with a Jaguar who has not yet signed up for our event, & you know they would enjoy a great Jaguar day out - for free.. please ask them to sign up as we would love to have them along. The same thing goes for any friends without a Jaguar - if they want to come along and take a look, and maybe join in on the fun on the day they are very very welcome to.

 

Latest news for you is that our 'Best Turned Out Jag' award is now officially sponsored by one of our great event sponsors Scratchshield! This year we will have a shield up for grabs for a year for the 'Best Turned Out Jag'.. it will be presented on the day, with photos online of the winner and you will then need to bring it with you to the 2018 event to present to the 2018 winner! Huge thanks go to Scratchshield for their ongoing support of our event.
