I know winter is usually a dark grey sort of time of year with plenty of rain, wind, and bad weather leaving us little choice but to hunker down in front of a TV watching archived film clips of our favourite cars on TopGear..

In south-east UK we don't do this - we organise our bi-annual Brighton social run & meet!

This years winter meet is happening on Sunday 7th December - with a social run down from Pease Pottage Services to Madiera Drive, Brighton, everyone parking up in one huge block of cars (parking £1 per hour, £4 for the morning, or £7 for the day), followed by a fixed price big breakfast (£5.00 per person inc tea/coffee) to set us up for the morning. I am in the process of organising what I can and meanwhile a full itinery has been listed above including all and any exact costs there are.. so you know everything you need to know before the event.

It's a great chance for you to have a break from the Christmas rush and shopping and to have some time with great company, fantastic cars, a mug of tea and something to eat..

Please note that with this being the Winter meet it is open to other marques - with a warm Jaguar welcome for everyone.

In case you are wondering - this will be the third Bi-Annual Brighton meet and the details of the last one can be found here: UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2014 in Brighton if you want to check it out..Just so you know who has indicated an interest (in no particular order) in attending on the day, so far it looks like this....

If you would like to be added please just make a post saying so (or if non member email me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk to be added) and I will be very happy to add you to the list.

Listed below are Car details plus occupants (inc driver) where we have the info.

Just a quick update on things - Things are going well!

We currently have nine vehicles less signed up for this meet than we did for the May 2014 convoy and meet, with still four weeks or so to go!

The Welcome pack contents/bags etc should be with me from the three suppliers in the next couple of weeks.. all is confirmed with our new sponsors for approx 40 or so packs.

I have been in contact with the Madeira Cafe and double checked the booking we have with them - and found they have a maximum capacity of 40 or thereabouts so am mulling over some potential venues for eating at the May meet that can cater for more of us.

All I need to do is double check Tony is still available, and hopefully the showroom car he wants to bring along.

You have probably noted that we have someone from The Automatic Gearbox Company coming along to chat to us, so if you have any outstanding queries regarding transmission issues please take advantage of him being there and ask away..
hi, I am going to do my utmost to get to both to get to both, I have plus 2 at the moment, and all been told leaving my location 06-15 so you know what they say about best made plans.
But so far all agree with everything.

Just a brief update guys so you know where we are with things.. as always any queries or suchlike just drop me a pm here, or email me at jaguarforumsuk@solidlinux.co.uk.

We currently have a mix of Jaguar and other marques covering the years 1968-2014 which is quite an achievement.. thankyou to all of you for making it possible!

We have 40 cars signed up currently, and just under 50 attendees coming along, and of those 40 cars, 37 should be on the convoy or cruise down the A23 making quite an impact as we all pull in to Madiera Drive on the Brighton seafront.

We have a negotiated block booking at the Madiera Cafe at a fixed cost of £5 per person including tea/coffee and with this being winter time, the parking on the seafront is £1 for an hour, £2 for 2 hours, £4 for 4 hours or £7 for 11 hours. The £4 option with maybe a £1 topup should suffice.

This meet we have Welcome Packs (one per car) which contain dashboard sheets to use on parking, so we know who is with us, and which car is with whom, the itinerary, plus advertising literature, sample products from our new sponsors and details of the next meet in 2015!

Looking at the figures so far I would appear to have misjudged the number of people wanting to attend a meet at this time of year, so the Welcome Packs are likely to be distributed on a first come first served basis - I am sorry it is genuinely my fault, but I will do better for the May meet! :-)

I have double checked with Harwoods Jaguar that they will be attending and all is OK... and I have contacted 'The Automatic Gearbox Centre' to double check as well, but am currently waiting on a final confirmation from them.

Please take advantage of both of them with any questions or issues you may have, that is why they are there for us.

I have been approached by one other potential sponsor which might give a twist to the Welcome Pack and match it more to the time of year - I will obviously let you guys know if it goes ahead.

If you are reading this and wondering whether to come along.. why not put your name forward by a post on here or just email me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk ? Even if you can't make this one I am very close to starting off the bookings for the May 2015 meet and already have some attendees waiting for it to be listed.. you can always sign up to that one..

This years winter meet is happening on Sunday 7th December - with a social run down from Pease Pottage Services to Madiera Drive, Brighton, everyone parking up in one huge block of cars (parking £1 per hour, £4 for the morning, or £7 for the day), followed by a fixed price big breakfast (£5.00 per person inc tea/coffee) to set us up for the morning. I am in the process of organising what I can and meanwhile a full itinery has been listed above including all and any exact costs there are.. so you know everything you need to know before the event.

Another quick update for you, just so you know the state of play as the day approaches at what seems to be a faster and faster speed.

I won't be quite as active on here as we approach the day as my home life has taken one hell of a hammering lately with this (as has been pointed out to me by my whole family :-( ) .. *but* I'll still be working on things through to the last minute nonetheless even if it's not updated so much on here.

OK, We have the Welcome Packs well on the way to completion - Car-Chem have supplied a fantastic luxury product sample, and MotorGeek has supplied a really great range of samples of products I think you will find incredibly useful on a day to day basis. SNG Barratt UK have very kindly supplied something I didn't expect and again will be of daily use. I am just waiting on Harwoods Jaguar, and the mystery unexpected sponsor that *may* pop up. I cannot thank our sponsors enough for their support of this event..

I need to get confirmation from The Automatic Gearbox Centre that they are coming (I always double check everyone as the date approaches) and I'm going to have another go at getting us newspaper coverage from the local papers.. I have double checked the breakfast booking, and the same with Harwoods Jaguar Brighton and they are both all OK for the day.

Other than that we are almost there - please remember that I am doing what I can to stretch the welcome packs but they are going to be on a one per car, and first come first served basis at this meet.

I am hoping for a great day for everyone - remember if you are reading this and are considering coming along please put your name forward :-)

Oh yes - one final thing - as always I am looking for anyone who has a spare seat who can offer a lift to/from the event should anyone's own car fail or be unavailable on the day - just in case... we look after our own :-)

I'm down as a +1 but if my significant other can't make it I'll have a spare seat (plus space for a couple of very, very tiny people in the back...!)

Totally understandable Steve, I and anyone else who has organised a meet of any proportions know the huge amount of time, energy and effort involved, and yes, something has to give.

I suggest some serious wifey / family time between now and the meet...lol

It's all on autopilot now, so take it easy

Thanks & looking forward to the day as it approaches as I'm sure everyone is

Hi, I'll try my best to join you at the meet. I won't be able to get to the convoy sadly.

Hi Paul, No you aren't :-) ... *but* where the itinerary *is* listed here, it is buried *way* back in the thread now.. so here is a copy of the current itinerary for you:

The days itinerary is listed below for your info, so you know when you need to be where...


08:15 Meet at Pease Pottage Service Station at the base of the M23.
08:20 Initial 'Welcome to the Event' greeting, and packs handed out.
08:30 Depart in convoy for Brighton (cruising speed 65mph)
09:15 Park up in one large parking block in Madiera Drive.
09:30-10:30 Big Breakfast in Madiera Cafe (b/fast + tea/coffee for £5 only)
10:30 General social events etc. start
11:30 Group signings of banner, and group photos for the forums


The parking is pay and display at this location and is £1 for an hour, £2 for two hours, £4 for four hours, or £7 for 11 hours (I would suggest for most people the £4 parking option will be sufficient). Your meal will be £5.00 per person.. so hopefully no shocks or surprises if you are on a budget
