Annual Jaguar Brighton Convoy & Meet Event May 29th 2016
Discussion
OK Guys,
I have been getting text responses, and emails from both sponsors and attendees of this years event all looking forward to next years event so it looks like I have the start of an event again lol
However I am currently mulling over our options - we need to make next years event bigger, and most importantly better for everyone. Where I believe as a whole our past five events have been well received and a good experience for attendees there are things I have been unable to get perfect for everyone, and I would love to try to nail those issues with our sixth event. Namely our issues have been parking, parking costs, and the issue with the cars stretching over too long a section of road for the event to be cohesive..
I am very open to venues and would appreciate any pointers to locations or organisations that may be able to assist us - bearing in mind that not only is this event free to attend, but we have no financial support. The only option for potential sponsors is advertising - which we have done this year, quite extensively, for our sponsors via Twitter, Facebook & the forum threads.
I am also looking at whilst the event needs to remain free to ensure anyone and everyone can attend, it may be worth making a small charge for prize draw tickets on the day, and then using that money to generate cash prizes for attendees on top of the the very kind and generous donations from our event sponsors making the prize draw (which everyone loves) even bigger and better..
Anyone with any thoughts or ideas is welcome to drop me a line via one of the forums, facebook, or even twitter - I am very, very open to suggestions and will follow up on anything that we can possibly integrate into our event to make it even better.

Just a very quick update - in view of the issues with our Brighton venue I will be moving this event to a new (to be announced in September) venue for next year.
We currently have a number of quite select venues that have said they would be very happy to host our event - spaces may (depending on the venue) be limited so advance booking may be needed to guarantee a slot on what promises to be an even better event than this years!!
So, if you would like to guarantee yourself a slot on our next event please drop me an email, pm, tweet, or facebook msg sooner rather than later, as requests for slots on this more prestigeous event than ever are already coming in! Not only this, but we already have sponsors asking to be involved!! It is set to be a premium Jaguar event, free to sign up for, free to attend, and even free parking for your Jaguar this time!!
Please get in touch if you would like to attend, or get involved with our next event :-)
