Welcome to the 2016 Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - with the main venue being Madiera 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 Madiera 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 Madiera Drive, Brighton

09:00-10:00 We are booked into the Madiera 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 Rowan & Tony will announce the winner of 'Best Turned Out Jaguar'

I agree :-( We also just missed getting a D-Type this year.. however, the JagArt Galleries owner onsite usually brings out his E-Type when we arrive so unofficially we will hopefully manage 3 E-Types on the day :-)

Hi Pottman,

You would be very, very welcome :-) Could you email me your car year & model & any details (I notice you have a manual box which is quite rare) plus how many will be coming & I will add you in. My email is JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk

Please note we do have discounts in place for our event, with a number of suppliers - please make good use of them to help keep your costs down :-)

I look forward to hearing back from you, and meeting you on the day :-)

Very best regards
Steve

OK guys, a lot is still going on here, with just over seven weeks to go..

Our caterers at Pease Pottage Services & The Madiera Harvester have been updated with our likely figures.

I am still trying to progress a possible charity link with our event, which it would be great to have as we continue to develop our event.

I am chasing a few last minute possible sponsor or partnership deals for us, & seeing if there are any further deals that can be struck for our 2016 event

And finally I am still chasing the last few items from our sponsors, after which I will be able to officially announce what prizes we have on offer for you guys on the day :-)

Ok just a very brief update so you guys know roughly where we are with things so far...

A few things to sort yet including some new facilities with this years event.. Our fifth Brighton event to-date, and the one that sets the bar for next years event :-)

I believe (still yet to be confirmed) each car will likely have not one or two but four goodie bags to work through, & a chance at any one of fourteen prizes ranging from money off vouchers, to Goodwood Revival Tickets, to mugs, cleaning kits, workshop manuals and so much more.

We have five companies onsite to meet attendees, discounted early morning drinks, fixed price breakfast deal, and to top it all the judged 'Best Turned Out Jag 2016' award to be judged by Tony from Harwoods Jaguar (for his Jaguar knowledge) and Rowan Lill (considered to be an independant judge)....

And still I am on the case lol :-)

Welcome to the 2016 Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - with the main venue being Madiera 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 Madiera 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 Madiera Drive, Brighton

09:00-10:00 We are booked into the Madiera 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 Rowan & 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.

Additionally we have also arranged the following discount codes for event attendees:

This year (with thanks to PaulJag for the idea) we are implementing a 'Don't miss a thing!' texting service on the day.. I am hoping this will work well for everyone.

As you will know from the itinerary, quite a bit is going on, on the day, and it is going to be easy to miss any number of the things going on whilst you are busy chatting, catching up, and getting that solution to any of a number of car issues you may have... I am possibly the worst culprit for this in our previous events lol

So this year we are implementing a 'Don't miss a thing' service. If you drop me a line at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk with your name & mobile number for the day, we will ensure you get text reminders just before any events on our day ensuring you don't miss a thing!

Its free, and the numbers/names will only be used for reminders on the day - not released to anyone for any other purpose.

So why not guarantee you don't miss a thing on the day, with our 'Don't Miss a thing' Texting service :-) ?

Welcome to the 2016 Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - with the main venue being Madiera 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 Madiera 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 Madiera Drive, Brighton

09:00-10:00 We are booked into the Madiera 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

Just a quick update for you on things..

With 81 Jaguars now signed up we are only 19 from the magic number of 100 vehicles!

I am still waiting on some items to come in from two sponsors, but we still have a few weeks yet :-)

Our new 'Don't Miss a Thing' texting service is steadily gaining subscribers, which is great.

I am still in very early discussions with a charity organisation, hoping we can link our event to them, and not only have a great day out but also support some fantastic charities - as soon as I know more on this I will let you know :-)

If you are involved with our event in an organisational way - ie are an industry attendee, sponsor, or part of the team on the day I will be getting in touch with you with more details at the start of May :-)

Meanwhile please keep an eye on this thread as we approach the day, as I still have a few things on the go for us :-)
