OK, I am back on the case of trying to get us newspaper coverage - this time rather than email which had a very low success rate, I am working our twitter account :-) As always I will update you with any results of mention :-)

OK here's a quick summary for today:

We have 52 cars, 78 people so far attending,
Free Welcome Packs & goodies,
Breakfasts from 99p children/£2.99 adults,
Parking £10 for four hours,
Free prize draw for SNG Barratt goodies,
Hopefully a pay per ticket prize draw for Jaguar UK goodies with all takings going to charity,
The new XE's in attendance,
Test drive bookings being taken,
The Automatic Gearbox Centre & Harwoods Jaguar to hand to answer all your questions,
Photo shoots,
and more..

I am currently (slowly) sorting the information packs that will go in the Welcome Packs, chasing and trying to get us newspaper coverage (yes I have already tried the presenters from Top Gear & The Classic Car Show to no avail), trying to get our Twitter profile fully active (@JFBrightonMeets #MayJagMeet) and am still on the hunt for any other potential sponsors for our event..

As always I will let you know where I manage to get a degree of success :-)

Our event thread, across the master thread and the three mirrors has now received over 13,500 viewings! Incredible! I now need to convert our popularity into newspaper coverage, and more sponsors wanting coverage at our event :-)

Rory White - New cars editor for 'What Car'? and 'Autocar', and owns an XJ6, has been in touch and where he cannot make this meet hopes he may be able to make the next one :-)

Anyone unsure about whether to come along or not, just have a look at everything that's happening on the day - all for just the cost of your parking and breakfast! We have a superb day ahead of us so go on why not sign up for it? Just pop a post on here or email me directly at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk and get yourself added in to what is due to be a superb Jaguar day out by the seaside...

Don't forget you can keep up to date with things as we go by this thread, or any of the four threads we currently have running, by following us on Twitter @JFBrightonMeets #MayJagMeet, or if you cant access either you can always just drop me a line at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk if you like..

Lot's already going on, more to come.. and if you are not already signed up you are risking missing a great Jaguar seaside event - Why not sign up now? The event is Free, and your only costs on the day are breakfast (from 99p children/from £2.99 adults) and parking which is £10 for the morning..

Watch this space for all the news as it happens..

The next Bi-Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet will be happening on 24th May 2015 - Just FIVE 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 Barratt 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..

We even have a NEW live Twitter feed for our event @JFBrightonMeets #MayJagMeet - why not follow our updates, news and info as we go there?

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.

Should you be without your car for any reason on the day please contact anyone below listed as having free seats - we look after our own and would still love you to be able to come!

If you haven't been before and would like to check up on some of our recent Bi-Annual Convoy and Meet events please have a look here: UK South East Meet December 2014 in Brighton or UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2014 in Brighton

Just a brief update and invitation to sign up and come along :-)

The first items for the Welcome Packs have arrived, with more items due to arrive over the next few weeks, the majority of the meet info ie. itinerary, dashboard meet ID sheets, details of our next meet, and breakfast menu sheets are done (just the last few to produce), the prize draw tickets have yet to be printed up though..

We currently have 51 cars spanning 1968 through to 2014 coming on the day,

Harwoods Jaguar Brighton bringing along the brand new Jaguar baby - The XE,

Harwoods and The Automatic Gearbox Centre will be in attendance to answer all your buying, servicing and maintenance questions,

We have free Welcome Packs containing your meet info and a range of goodies and car industry information.

A convoy component, making you part of a huge visual spectacle as we all arrive in Madiera Drive at the same time, occupying a swathe of the seafront parking.

Breakfasts from 99p for children and £2.99 for adults

Free prize draw for SNG Barratt goodies you will love

Possibly a pay per ticket prize draw for a Jaguar UK prize

Tony from Harwoods will be taking test drive bookings for the XE giving you the opportunity to be amongst the first to drive Jaguars new baby

On top of all this you get to meet all the people you know online, to have a good chat over a meal, check out the huge range of cars attending, and just have a great day..

And even on top of this all you have photo-shoots for the forum threads, fresh fish and chips, Brighton Pier, the huge city shopping centre with everything from major high street names through to little specialist shops in The Lanes and more..

If you haven't signed up yet for this great Jaguar day out then you may end up missing out on a fantastic FREE family day out..

Still no sign of newspaper coverage of our event, despite the backdrop we will have, and the quality and range of cars attending, so I am doing the newspaper rounds again today - if I have any success I will let you know :-)

Steve,

Does the Drake's Hotel live webcam cover the route to the venue?

brighton pier webcam | brighton beach webcam | drakes hotel

I was watching it on the day of your last Brighton meeting but never saw a single Jaguar!

Its too far to the East end of Madiera Drive looking at it - sorry :-( Best I can offer is I will be, amongst everything else, trying to tweet pics & event info etc live as we go on the day for those that can't make it.

Guardian gave me a lead for some possible TV coverage - so I am following up on that currently and will let you know as always if we get any results.. TV coverage would be great if we can get it :-)

Incidentally I haven't quite given up on the additional possible industry attendee & am hoping for an update on their availability by Monday.

If they are up for it it will be great with three companies attending covering everything from sales to servicing, to maintenance, and repairs making your visit to the meet even more productive for you with hopefully all your questions answered :-)

I am also waiting for (and hoping) on feedback regarding the TV coverage lead

Does anyone else have a spare seat in case of anyone being without their car on the day due to accident or breakdown?

We have two attendees so far, listing spare space if needed, from Berkshire and Hackney, anyone from any other areas have spare space in case?

It just might make the difference to one of us having a 'bad car day', ensuring they can make the meet despite it and still have a great Jaguar day :-)

Many thanks in advance for anyone who can offer a seat just in case..

The next Bi-Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet will be happening on 24th May 2015 - Just over FOUR 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 Barratt 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..

We even have a NEW live Twitter feed for our event @JFBrightonMeets #MayJagMeet - why not follow our updates, news and info as we go there?

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.

Should you be without your car for any reason on the day please contact anyone below listed as having free seats - we look after our own and would still love you to be able to come!

If you haven't been before and would like to check up on some of our recent Bi-Annual Convoy and Meet events please have a look here: UK South East Meet December 2014 in Brighton or UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2014 in Brighton
