Everything that I am expecting in for our event has now arrived and I am happy to tell you that the prize draw ticket in your Welcome Pack may be your ticket to family tickets to Goodwood Revival donated by Harwoods Jaguar, a Nextbase 212 Dash Cam, Vouchers from SNG Barratt & Rimmer Bros, Scratchshield complete bucket systems, and filter systems for your own buckets, a Leathercare Kit donated by Furniture Clinic, workshop manuals for X-Type, XJ6 and Daimler donated by Haynes Manuals, and even mugs donated by Rimmer Bros for those important mugs of tea whilst working on your Jaguar.

Should you complete your dashboard sheet, and place it on your dashboard in Brighton you will be in with a chance at a bottle of champagne donated by Harwoods and a lambswool polisher and car shampoo both donated by Prestige Car Care.

We have some great prizes for the day, and on top of this we have discounted Costa products (say you are with JaguarForums.com to get 20% off) at the initial Pease Pottage Services meeting point, free goodie bags with selected info, freebies, samples, and even free pens to complete your dashboard sheets with :-)

We have the biggest convoy we have ever had down to Brighton, with The Madiera Harvester (our breakfast venue) working solely for us first thing!! Please try to order their £4.99 deal (two of everything) plus drinks to help them service us as quickly as possible, as they will be working flat out for us.

After breakfast you can look over all our cars, meet our industry attendees informally, get all your questions answered, and socialise with everyone you know from online putting cars and faces to names.

There will be an event banner available for everyone to sign, photo shoots of the cars, people, and even group shots of everyone.

The prize winners will appear on the forums, Twitter, and of course our event facebook page with the winner of 'Best Turned Out Jaguar' getting to hold the title until next year when they could retain it, or may have to pass it onto the winner for 2017.

Please note that this year we have attendees not just from the South-East of the UK, but from the Midlands, Wales, the West Coast, and even the Netherlands to mention just a few, so this is a real chance to network with other Jaguar users you might otherwise never get to meet :-)

And then finally, the discount codes listed in the thread above, and in your Welcome Packs will help you to keep your Jaguar costs down over the next year - please, please make use of them to encourage our sponsors to remain with us.

Just heard from Tony from Harwoods Jaguar and he will be bringing along two showroom cars for us: An Italian Red F-PACE 3.0S and an F-TYPE V6s Coupe in White, for us to look over. Many thanks for that Tony, I am especially looking forward to seeing an F-Pace in the flesh.

OK, we are in the last few days before our event and with just three vacant places yet to be filled it is time to fill you in on some of the prize details..

We will be featuring the prizes that we feel you will find yourself unable to manage without, should you win them on Sunday.

The first one up today is the Scratchshield Bucket Filter System, which I have been using myself for a while now.

Scratchshield supply both complete systems, and filter kits to work with your existing car wash system, and once you start using them, you really cannot imagine going back to not using them!

Their complete system is great, you have two fair sized buckets with labelling, ensuring you don't mix your dirty and clean water, and each bucket comes with a filter system that keeps the grit and dirt at the bottom of the bucket.

Something I had never thought of before this, is that the buckets are also designed to work as seats so when you are working on the sills and wheels (and you are getting a little more mature like me) you can just sit and work rather than bending over or kneeling next to your Jaguar.

Before I started using the kit I had not given a thought to the car washing process.. but now I can't imagine not using the system.. honestly.

You can win both complete kits, and add-on filter kits for your own car washing buckets on Sunday, courtesy of www.scratchshield.co.uk, and even if you miss out on winning one of them you can still use the huge 25% discount code listed further up this thread for event attendees.

Welcome to the 2016 Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - with the main venue being Madeira Drive on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar EXCLUSIVE event! This year I have been working on gaining much more industry support than previously, more prizes, freebies, discounts, even specialists on site to chat to.. hopefully ensuring that everyone has a fantastic Jaguar day to remember!

The initial meeting point will be Pease Pottage Services, with an indoor area set aside for us and 20% discount on anything from Costa (remember to say you are with the JaguarForums.com event to get your discount) to help get your day started.

The Welcome Packs will be handed out at this point, and the main features of the day covered.

There will then be a convoy down to the Brighton seafront, creating a huge Jaguar statement with up to 100 cars, all setting up camp in one huge parking block in Madiera Drive.

There will be a fixed price breakfast laid on for attendees on arrival in Brighton, at a cost of £4.99 for the recommended (two of everything :-)) breakfast, plus drinks at individual prices or £2.60 for unlimited drinks. We are booked in the Harvester in Madeira Drive - remember to say you are with the JaguarForums.com event when ordering.

The only other cost for the day is the parking which is set to be £3.20 for one hour, £6.00 for 2 hours, £11.00 for 4 hours or £16.00 for 11 hours.

CaptainHam has suggested setting up & using the pay by phone parking app on your phone prior to the day (saves fishing around in pockets for change, or in this case, notes)

Our itinerary for the day is:

We are down to our very last place now!! Initially we had a maximum of 100 places, which we extended to 110 due to demand for our event.. and already with three days to go, we have just one place left :-)
If you haven't signed up yet, don't worry you can still come and see us at Madiera Drive, and we still have a few prize draw tickets left so you could even still be in with a chance at any of our great prizes on the day.. Plus if you think your Jag has a chance at the award for 'Best Turned Out Jag' we still have a few dashboard info sheets left too..so even if you are not signed up this is a Jaguar event well worth attending!

You will get to see Jaguars spanning 62 years of production, from an XK140 right through to a showroom F-Pace, lots of owners with real life knowledge of these great cars, and over 100 Jaguars to look over, PLUS specialists on site to meet informally and discuss any Jaguar issues or concerns you may have from the right motor oils through to transmissions, servicing, sales and more.

Please note though the goodie bags have had to be limited to the signed up attendees listed in this thread.

Welcome to the 2016 Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - with the main venue being Madeira Drive on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar EXCLUSIVE event! This year I have been working on gaining much more industry support than previously, more prizes, freebies, discounts, even specialists on site to chat to.. hopefully ensuring that everyone has a fantastic Jaguar day to remember!

The initial meeting point will be Pease Pottage Services, with an indoor area set aside for us and 20% discount on anything from Costa (remember to say you are with the JaguarForums.com event to get your discount) to help get your day started.

The Welcome Packs will be handed out at this point, and the main features of the day covered.

There will then be a convoy down to the Brighton seafront, creating a huge Jaguar statement with up to 100 cars, all setting up camp in one huge parking block in Madiera Drive.

There will be a fixed price breakfast laid on for attendees on arrival in Brighton, at a cost of £4.99 for the recommended (two of everything :-)) breakfast, plus drinks at individual prices or £2.60 for unlimited drinks. We are booked in the Harvester in Madeira Drive - remember to say you are with the JaguarForums.com event when ordering.

The only other cost for the day is the parking which is set to be £3.20 for one hour, £6.00 for 2 hours, £11.00 for 4 hours or £16.00 for 11 hours.

CaptainHam has suggested setting up & using the pay by phone parking app on your phone prior to the day (saves fishing around in pockets for change, or in this case, notes)

Our itinerary for the day is:

07:45 Sharp Meet at Pease Pottage Services for Welcome Packs and a quick rundown of the day. remember we have an indoor area set saside for us and to get your 20% discount on Costa products by saying you are with the JaguarForums.com event!

08:20 Depart in convoy from Pease Pottage Services for Madeira Drive, Brighton

09:00-10:00 We are booked into the Madeira Harvester for breakfast - they recommend the two of everything for £4.99 plus drinks - remember to state you are with the JaguarForums.com event as they are setting an area aside for us.

10:00 -12:30 General socialising, car inspections, & meet the industry specialists we have onsite.

12:30 Group signing of event banner and photo shoots for the forums, Twitter and Facebook.

12:45 Main prize draw, drawn by Tony from Harwoods Jaguar

12:55 Secondary draw of some specialist items, drawn by the RevsUK team.

13:00 RevsUK & Tony will announce the winner of 'Best Turned Out Jaguar'


Plus, if you want to make a weekend of it, we have teamed up with HolidayInn Express in Crawley and have a fixed discounted rate of £54 a night for attendees, plus guaranteed availability of rooms for us :-) please see their details below, or follow this link HolidayInn Express Crawley. Just remember to quote that you are with the 'JaguarForums.com' event to get guaranteed availability and the fixed discounted rate of £54 a night. (SORRY NOW FULLY BOOKED)

Welcome to the 2016 Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - with the main venue being Madeira Drive on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar EXCLUSIVE event! This year I have been working on gaining much more industry support than previously, more prizes, freebies, discounts, even specialists on site to chat to.. hopefully ensuring that everyone has a fantastic Jaguar day to remember!

The initial meeting point will be Pease Pottage Services, with an indoor area set aside for us and 20% discount on anything from Costa (remember to say you are with the JaguarForums.com event to get your discount) to help get your day started.

The Welcome Packs will be handed out at this point, and the main features of the day covered.

There will then be a convoy down to the Brighton seafront, creating a huge Jaguar statement with up to 100 cars, all setting up camp in one huge parking block in Madiera Drive.

There will be a fixed price breakfast laid on for attendees on arrival in Brighton, at a cost of £4.99 for the recommended (two of everything :-)) breakfast, plus drinks at individual prices or £2.60 for unlimited drinks. We are booked in the Harvester in Madeira Drive - remember to say you are with the JaguarForums.com event when ordering.

The only other cost for the day is the parking which is set to be £3.20 for one hour, £6.00 for 2 hours, £11.00 for 4 hours or £16.00 for 11 hours.

CaptainHam has suggested setting up & using the pay by phone parking app on your phone prior to the day (saves fishing around in pockets for change, or in this case, notes)

Our itinerary for the day is:

07:45 Sharp Meet at Pease Pottage Services for Welcome Packs and a quick rundown of the day. remember we have an indoor area set saside for us and to get your 20% discount on Costa products by saying you are with the JaguarForums.com event!

08:20 Depart in convoy from Pease Pottage Services for Madeira Drive, Brighton

09:00-10:00 We are booked into the Madeira Harvester for breakfast - they recommend the two of everything for £4.99 plus drinks - remember to state you are with the JaguarForums.com event as they are setting an area aside for us.

10:00 -12:30 General socialising, car inspections, & meet the industry specialists we have onsite.

12:30 Group signing of event banner and photo shoots for the forums, Twitter and Facebook.

12:45 Main prize draw, drawn by Tony from Harwoods Jaguar

12:55 Secondary draw of some specialist items, drawn by the RevsUK team.

13:00 RevsUK & Tony will announce the winner of 'Best Turned Out Jaguar'

Another of the great prizes in our free prize draw on the day that I believe you will not be able to imagine being without once you have won it, is the NextBase 212 Dash Cam.

I actually have one of these myself after a number of incidents happening in front of me, and wishing I had a recording of them.

The brand new 212 Lite comes with a very long charger lead, a magnetic screen mount, plus the obligitory manual on a disk. As you will all know I am not car mechanic material in any way shape or form lol - I break as much as I fix as I go, but the screen mount goes on fine, and with beading removed and cable popped in I managed to route the power cable to the back of the XJ without issue.

And this is where the simpicity of the dash cam from NextBase really exceeded my expectations.. I popped in a MicroSD card, programmed in the XJs plate number in and that was literally it - the presets on it work fine for me, the magnetic mount is great making it easy to plug in or remove whenever wanted (unlike my mobile phone mount sigh) The video quality is superb.. and already several near misses have been recorded.. this dashcam has already become for me something you do not go out without, really highly recommended.

Product details can be found here if you want to know more.

This a great (and NEW) product is currently only available through Halfords at £69.99, but thanks to Nextbase you can win this great modern necessity in our free prize draw!!

Welcome to our JaguarForums.com Brighton Convoy & Meet event for 2016.

The weather was good on the day, especially considering that it had been raining just the day before.

It was 7:15am on the day when Paul & Tia (PaulJag) pulled up outside my house - both in XJ's. A sight that I could happily enjoy any day of the year - three XJs outside :-)

Paul and Tia packed what I hadn't been able to fit in my XJ and we set off for Pease Pottage Services. I was well chuffed because I was completely organised and due to be at the start of the event in plenty of time for the first time ever.

As we pulled into Pease Pottage Services there were Jaguars all over the place, and groups of people chatting in the car park. Steve from CarSnapped was at the entrance getting lots of shots of arriving cars - he had been there since sometime just after 6am I believe!!

It was then that I realised that all my change for the car parking at Brighton was still at home (so much for the first time ever :-)) so I left Paul & Tia to get things setup whilst I popped back home to get my change (£16 of change - Brighton is not cheap nowadays).

On getting back to Pease Pottage I found Paul & Tia completely on top of things - everything was laid out, and attendees were all busy signing in and collecting their goodies. Afterwards I found out that Paul & Tia have run events in the past - they were incredible :-) Many thanks to them for the copious amounts of help and support through the day!

We managed to collect the majority of the people into the conservatory area and ran through the days itinerary prior to everyone heading off for Brighton seafront.

Some Jaguars made it down in advance of the main convoy, with others grouping together just prior to entering Brighton. There was the usual problems with the traffic lights and controls breaking the convoy up but we managed to keep the general grouping right down to Madiera Drive.

There was, for a short while, a huge queue of Jaguars waiting on parking, with others parking, and a few already parked - definately marking Madiera Drive as Jaguar territory for a short while at least.

The parking meters gave us problems as usual.. the most common issue being that they would take all but £2 of what you needed to insert, and then reject all the coins you had inserted.. but eventually everyone was sorted and headed in for breakfast.

Whilst everyone was in for breakfast I went round all the cars trying to get some good shots.. admittedly no where near as good as the shots CarSnapped managed to get.. my shots are here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D7AB1E40951C... and you are very welcome to viw them, and download any that you especially like free.

After breakfast there were huge amounts of people looking around the cars.. we had everything from a Project 7 through to E-Types, Mk II, a 420 and so much more. Tony was there from Harwoods with the all new F-Pace and was attracting quite a lot of interest..

The majority of the cars had dashboard sheets on the dash so they could be considered for the new prestigeous JaguarForums.com award of 'Best Turned Out Jag' for 2016 making it easy to see who was with our event.

Holiday Inn Express Crawley arrived onsite just before the Prize Draw to personally hand over an unexpected prize of a free nights accomodation - Many thanks to them for that!

There was some issues late morning with the parking, resulting in things being moved forward so the Prize Draws and the new 'Best Turned Out Jag' Award presentations all kicked off at about 12:30 if I remember correctly.

We had some fantastic prizes, all drawn by Tony from Harwoods, with the finale being a bottle of champagne from Harwoods Jaguar and a superb luxury car shampoo and polisher set from PrestigeCarCareShop for the JaguarForums.com 'Best Turned Out Jaguar'

The day was a great Jaguar day out - absolute luxury with the range of cars we had attending on the day! Our prizes included, to list just a few of, a dashcam, filter cleaning systems, workshop manuals, vouchers, mugs, a free nights accomodation, champagne, luxury shampoo... and so so much more.

Huge thanks go to the following companies who got involved this year, and in some cases went beyond anything I could have hoped for: Harwoods Jaguar Brighton, Carsnapped, SNG Barratt, WaxOn-WaxOff, Autoglym, Haynes Manuals, Scratch Shield, Furniture Clinic, PVD, Moto Services, Holiday Inn Express Crawley, Rimmer Bros, Lancaster Insurance, NextbaseUK, Revs UK, We love Brighton, JagTechnic, The Automatic Gearbox Centre, Carphile, Revs UK and MotorMartin.

Massive thanks go to everyone who attended this years event, and anyone else I have not mentioned who took the time to get involved and help make this the biggest and best event we have run to-date.

Please remember that the discount codes listed in this thread should work right through to close to our next event too!! Helping our event keep your Jaguar running costs to a minimum.

And finally please keep an eye out for the thread for our next event :-)
