OK - yes I'm trying to get everything nailed down today, and ease off a little for a few days, and resurrect my family life before the event:-)

I have been in contact with Kevin at 'The Automatic Gearbox Centre' and he will definitely be with us for the breakfast and onwards - please make good use of him regarding any transmission questions you may have

I have given up with trying the 'best' approach of contact being the Brighton Argus's event reporters, and have tried progressing our need for coverage with the newspaper editor directly - I will update you if I hear back..

I have been in contact with Harwoods Jaguar and their material should be with me later this week for inclusion in the Welcome Packs.

All that leaves is the possible mystery sponsor who may give the Welcome Packs a bit of a twist... it remains to be seen if they come through - again, if they do I will of course let you know.

Anyone wanting to sign up for this event, but have not yet - please, please put your name forward and I will add you in.

It looks to be a great day with Welcome Packs, a convoy/cruise, entering Madiera Drive making a huge visual statement, Fixed price breakfast with tea/coffee, Harwoods Jaguar Brighton and The Automatic Gearbox Centre in attendance for your questions, and cars ranging from the era of the TV series Morse, right through to the latest showroom Jaguar, and not just Jaguars but also Ford & TVR in attendance!

Finally and just in case .....

Many thanks to those of you that have come forward with seats for anyone who is unfortunate enough to not have their car available on the day due to breakdown or any other cause.

Should you become aware that you may be without your car for any reason on the day please don't assume you can't come to the meet - drop a pm to the person nearest you with a seat available, on the forum listed against them, and we can hopefully get you to and from the event..whether you have your car with you or not we would love for you to come along - it is just what the Jaguar community does :-)

It looks to be a great day out for you and your car, with Welcome Packs, a convoy/cruise, entering Madiera Drive making a huge visual statement, Fixed price breakfast with tea/coffee, Harwoods Jaguar Brighton and The Automatic Gearbox Centre in attendance for your questions, and over 40 cars ranging from the era of the TV series Morse, right through to the latest showroom Jaguar, and not just Jaguars but also BMW, Ford & TVR in attendance!

So go on, why not come along and see if you enjoy the event? and if you do enjoy the day, please remember to put yourself forward for our next Spring/Summer Convoy and Meet in May 2015

Just a quick update on the figures for you guys..

The Welcome Packs are just waiting on Jaguar info from Harwoods (due inside next few days) and the possible mystery sponsor.

Currently we have 47 cars coming along, and 59 attendees.

Our cars are covering the years 1968 through to 2014!

We have Jaguar, BMW, Ford, TVR, and tentatively a Noble coming along.

Harwoods Jaguar Brighton will have a showroom car there for us.

Tony from Harwoods & Kevin from the Automatic Gearbox Centre will both be there for any questions.

The owner of the Jag Gallery is opening for us for any members who want to have a look around the collection.

Our breakfast plus tea/coffee is fixed at £5 per person, *and* we get to take over a Bikers cafe :-)

You get to appear on the forums in the obligatory group photo shoots.

Hopefully you have a great day and will want to attend the May 2015 meet :-)

If you are wondering whether to come along or not - here's a few more statistics for you.. at our Summer 2014 meet the group shots were of approx 35 people or so, and we had a great time!
This December 2014 meet currently has 59 people listed as coming along - and across the forums this thread has amassed almost 18,000 viewings to-date and we have two and a half weeks to go..
Why not put your name forward and come along? It's guaranteed to be a great day.

If you are still undecided whether to come, or have already signed up by posting on here or emailing me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk here are the latest stats on our favourite bi-annual event..

We have Welcome Packs for the first time.. with many thanks to our new event sponsors!

We have Harwoods Jaguar Brighton in attendance with a showroom F-Type Coupe.

We have Tony from Harwoods Jaguar Brighton and Kevin from The Automatic Gearbox Centre to answer any sales, or transmission enquiries you have.

We have over 40 cars signed up so far for the Pease Pottage to Brighton Convoy to make a huge entrance in Brighton at the start of the main meet.

We have 50 cars signed up for the main meet itself so far!

We have booked the Madeira Cafe for £5 fixed price breakfast & tea/coffee.

You get to see Jaguars right from a 1968 Mk2 through to the very latest 2014 models

You also get to see TVR Tuscans, a Noble, BMW, possibly a Lamborghini Gallardo, and more...

And finally and most importantly you get to meet the people you meet on the forums in real life, to see their cars, talk and get to know everyone better! It is a great social event easing the Christmas rush for us and giving us a break as only a JaguarForums.com 'Convoy and Meet' can!

If you look further up the thread you will find the itinerary and loads of info on the event.. so go on, even if you are unsure I am sure your car would love the event.. why not pop a post on this thread or just email me and put your name forward?

If you are still undecided whether to come, or have already signed up by posting on here or emailing me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk here are the latest stats on our favourite bi-annual event..

We have Welcome Packs for the first time.. with many thanks to our new event sponsors!

We have Harwoods Jaguar Brighton in attendance with a showroom F-Type Coupe.

We have Tony from Harwoods Jaguar Brighton and Kevin from The Automatic Gearbox Centre to answer any sales, or transmission enquiries you have.

We have 45 cars signed up so far for the Pease Pottage to Brighton Convoy to make a huge entrance in Brighton at the start of the main meet.

We have 50 cars signed up for the main meet itself so far!

We have booked the Madeira Cafe for £5 fixed price breakfast & tea/coffee.

The parking is just £1 an hour on Madeira Drive for this meet.

You get to see Jaguars right from a 1968 Mk2 through to the very latest 2014 models

You also get to see TVR Tuscans, a Noble, BMW, possibly a Lamborghini Gallardo, and more...

And finally and most importantly you get to meet the people you meet on the forums in real life, to see their cars, talk and get to know everyone better! It is a great social event easing the Christmas rush for us and giving us a break as only a 'Bi-Annual Brighton Convoy and Meet' can!

If you look further up the thread you will find the itinerary and loads of info on the event.. so go on, even if you are unsure I am sure your car would love the event.. why not pop a post on this thread or just email me and put your name forward?

Additionally, as promised, I am working on the next Bi-Annual Convoy and Meet, and am currently starting to take bookings here: http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/uk-so... so if you can't make this one don't worry you can now put your name forward for the next one and still guarantee yourself a good Jaguar day out:-) Equally if you attend our bi-annual meets regularly you may want to get signed up now for the next one :-)

We have some news regarding this meet and the next..

I have been in touch with Harwoods Jaguar Brighton and they are now hoping to attend with not just one showroom car, but two.. they will either bring 2 showroom F-Types to our event, or 1 F-Type and 1 XK Dynamic for us to look over!

They have also said that we will have a showroom XE at the May 2015 Convoy & Meet!

Additionally I am in negotiations withe MotorGeek, who have been kind enough to supply us with some great product samples and discounts for the December meet, and they have agreed in principle to sponsor the Welcome Packs for the next meet - as I hear more I will of course update you...

I haven't had a chance to research fully but its connected somehow with previous DNS attacks on p.h. I don't know much more but it seems some threads are mirroring there for some reason. Hope that helps.. More info out there I'll try and figure it for you on Monday winshent as then I'll have a PC not just a mobile sigh .. But its not me and its mirroring a few threads from here
