Hmm! I don't see any 1999 Jaguar Super v8's Daimler....I may well be interested!


I have an idea by the way, maybe make like a small banner or something that people (signees) can download and add to their signature on other forums too? Dunno, could help get the word out there

 

Hiya Kapows,
You would be very welcome whether it be with your 1996 XJ6 or a V8 Daimler :-)
Can I put you down as coming along and helping fill in a gap in the years/models we have coming?

 

One of the potential industry attendee companies said last week to call today to find out if they can make it, and today I have been asked to call back on Thursday - sigh.... if I get a definitive answer later in the week I will let you know.

 

The next Bi-Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet will be happening on 24th May 2015 - Just over 8 weeks away now! This meet will be our fourth one, and we will have been running this event for two years now!

This Spring/Summer event is Jaguar exclusive, but if you have a car of another marque don't worry - the Winter event will again be open to all marques with a warm Jaguar welcome for everyone.

For those who don't know, the event comprises of two components - an initial meet at Pease Pottage Services with Welcome packs and goodie bags handed out, and a convoy at a steady 65mph down to the main meet and event in Madiera Drive, Brighton. The distance is approx 24 miles on major roads which should ensure all attendees can manage it without issue.

At the main meet in Brighton we have fixed price breakfasts, photo shoots, socialising, industry attendees there to answer all those questions you have never managed to get answered, a FREE prize draw for some SNG Barrett goodies, and more - and all with the backdrop of the Victorian promenades, and everything a family could possibly want on a day out with the Pier, the beaches, the sea gently rolling in, the Proms, and a huge local shopping centre.

This year we are sandwiched in the middle of a month of MG, Mini, and Classic Car Meet days so I am sure our meet will raise a lot of interest... esp with one or two brand new showroom XE's there, literally *just* delivered to Harwoods Brighton, hopefully in attendance on the day!!

We are already listed as an official event with Brighton & Hove, & East Sussex Councils - and I am working on trying to get further advertising and newspaper coverage in place if I can,,

If you would like to attend this convoy and meet ( a guaranteed great day out for you, your family and your car) please put your name forward and I will be happy to add you in.

You can put a post up on this thread if you wish to attend, or you can email me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk - either way I will happily add you in.. as usual I need to know if you wish to attend just the main meet, or the meet and the convoy, your car and year, and how many people will likely be travelling in the car..

The itinerary, parking, & fixed price breakfast costs will all be listed in the next few weeks, so there are no surprises for those of us on a budget - but the event itself as such is FREE and will remain so.

OK... a little bit of an update for you...

I have still heard nothing back from the local papers regarding covering our convoy and meet, so I have widened my net and am trying to get coverage in the local independant newspapers for us - as always if I hear anything I will let you know.

 

Whether you are in the south or the north of the UK we have a great meet for you to attend this summer.. so why not put yourself down and come along?

Jim has put a stackload of work into the Scottish event with loads of great things going on, on the day, and I like to think I am almost matching what Jim is managing, with the south UK event :-)

If you go to either event you are in with a great chance at some fantastic prizes, a chance to look over, or even book a test drive in the new Jaguar XE, and so much more - so go on, you and your car deserve a day out, a chance to meet all the people you know from the forums, and that perfect excuse to clean and polish your car to within an inch of it's life :-)

And what's more it is all free for you.. you can't lose - a great day out and on a budget that really can't be beaten - so go on why not put yourself forward for one of them?

 

A HUGE +1 from me on all of the above!
I know from past experience everything that is involved and it kinda takes over from everything else, this is only my 2nd meet, Steve's on around his 3rd or 4th!!
No idea how he does it to be honest??

I made a post into my thread jokingly as below......

I'm beginning to wonder if I should start charging for this event?

As good as the numbers are, still a little low based on EVERYTHING that's available
Perhaps a £10 fee for the day??


Did I mention that the whole day, the meet event, the organisation, prizes donated by sponsors, the new XE on the day available to view, goody gift bags and perhaps yet still MORE to come......is FREE!!

Kudos to you Steve and thanks on behalf of all

 

This thread has had almost 10,000 hits across the master thread and the forums that host copies of it! That is incredible... we have over 60 people signed up so far, over 40 vehicles from a Mk2 through to an XE... if you have not signed up yet, you risk missing a fantastic free day out Jaguar style! So go on give it a go.... 60 people, and 10,000 hits has to be saying something :-) Pop a post on here or just email me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk and join in this great event.

I chased up the potential industry attendee and he is unavailable until Monday now - if I get the thumbs up on Monday, all well and good but if still no go I think I will stick with who we already have attending on the day..

I shall most certainly let you know soon. Thank you for your continued efforts.

 

The next Bi-Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet will be happening on 24th May 2015 - Just 8 weeks away now! This meet will be our fourth one, and we will have been running this event for two years now!

At the main meet in Brighton we have fixed price breakfasts, photo shoots, socialising, industry attendees there to answer all those questions you have never managed to get answered, a FREE prize draw for some SNG Barrett goodies, and more - and all with the backdrop of the Victorian promenades, and everything a family could possibly want on a day out with the Pier, the beaches, the sea gently rolling in, the Proms, and a huge local shopping centre.

The days itinerary is listed below for your info, so you know when you need to be where...
The parking is pay and display at this location and is £1 for an hour, £5 for two hours, £10 for four hours, or £15 for 11 hours (I would suggest for most people the £10 parking option will be sufficient). Your meal will be £4.99 per person.. so hopefully no shocks or surprises if you are on a budget

 

OK Guys,

I am constantly double checking on things in the hope that I have everything covered...

And I have an update regarding the breakfast deal - there are now two types of breakfast with different costings along with a reduced price for those of us with children.. this is the current deal:

Unlimited Cooked Breakfast £4.99 adults, £1.99 for under 12's
Unlimited Continental Breakfast £2.99 adults, £0.99 for under 12's

You get as many food 'refills' as you want and if you want to add a 4oz steak you can for £1.99

Drinks come in on top now at £2.25 unlimited for adults, or £0.99p unlimited for children

I am sorry it is more complicated, but for those with children it will definately prove cheaper, for everyone else a little more expensive but indoors with wi-fi etc and the food etc is unlimited...

Full details of the breakfast deals will be in your welcome packs on the day.

If people would prefer to switch to our previous breakfast suppliers please let me know..... :-)

 

Having looked at the list of cars attending the spring/summer meet, I am surprised there is not one E type attending.


Would have thought it would be the ideal first run out of the summer.

 

The next Bi-Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet will be happening on 24th May 2015 - Just 8 weeks away now! This meet will be our fourth one, and we will have been running this event for two years now!

This Spring/Summer event is Jaguar exclusive, but if you have a car of another marque don't worry - the Winter event will again be open to all marques with a warm Jaguar welcome for everyone.

For those who don't know, the event comprises of two components - an initial meet at Pease Pottage Services with Welcome packs and goodie bags handed out, and a convoy at a steady 65mph down to the main meet and event in Madiera Drive, Brighton. The distance is approx 24 miles on major roads which should ensure all attendees can manage it without issue.

At the main meet in Brighton we have breakfasts (from £2.99), photo shoots, socialising, industry attendees there to answer all those questions you have never managed to get answered, a FREE prize draw for some SNG Barrett goodies, and more - and all with the backdrop of the Victorian promenades, and everything a family could possibly want on a day out with the Pier, the beaches, the sea gently rolling in, the Proms, and a huge local shopping centre.

This year we are sandwiched in the middle of a month of MG, Mini, and Classic Car Meet days so I am sure our meet will raise a lot of interest... esp with one or two brand new showroom XE's there, literally *just* delivered to Harwoods Brighton, hopefully in attendance on the day!!

We are already listed as an official event with Brighton & Hove, & East Sussex Councils - and I am working on trying to get further advertising and newspaper coverage in place if I can,,

If you would like to attend this convoy and meet ( a guaranteed great day out for you, your family and your car) please put your name forward and I will be happy to add you in.

You can put a post up on this thread if you wish to attend, or you can email me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk - either way I will happily add you in.. as usual I need to know if you wish to attend just the main meet, or the meet and the convoy, your car and year, and how many people will likely be travelling in the car..

The itinerary, parking, & breakfast costs are all listed in this thread, so there are no surprises for those of us on a budget - but the event itself as such is FREE and will remain so.

Steve, looking great, some excellent numbers, will be a great day for sure.


I'd suggest perhaps easing off and getting some well earned rest the next few weeks and let the thread take care of itself, save your energy and efforts for the week or so leading up to it.


I know you'll need it....lol


Best


Jim

OK - a little bit of an update for you - this is the quiet patch before the last three weeks or so before the meet, which will be when I try hard to pull everything into place, confirmed and concreted for the day..

I have still had no feedback from the Highway Events Team at Brighton & Hove Council double confirming that we are OK for the location - I have recontacted them today to rechase for this, and will let you know as soon as I hear from them.

Everything *is* pretty much in the bag, I am just getting things double confirmed with our sponsors etc as we near the date... (yes I get twitchy every meet that something will go wrong lol)

We have almost hit that magic 50 vehicle figure which is fantastic, & I really appreciate everyones interest in this event, and coming along to help make the day great for everyone.

I would say realistically we are getting close to the limit of vehicles we can handle for this years spring/summer event so if anyone is considering coming along but is still undecided please put your name forward shortly or you may get to miss this event and have to wait for the winter one :-)

Looking at the viewing figures for the master thread and the three mirror threads we have running for this event we have had a phenomenal 11,190 hits to-date!!

Nothing else to report I am afraid - for a few weeks anyway.. meanwhile please just keep an eye on this thread as anything in the way of confirmations, news, or updates will appear here as we go
