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, and I am working on gaining much more industry support than previously, and ensuring that everyone has a fantastic day to remember.

The initial meeting point will be Pease Pottage Services, with an indoor area aset 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.

Then there will 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 JaguarForumns.com event when ordering.

The only other cost for the day is the parking which is likely to be £3.20 for one hour, £5.20 for 2 hours, £10.40 for 4 hours or £15.60 for 11 hours (Brighton Council are reviewing the rates in April though ).

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)

The main meet will follow on from then with as much going on as I can pull together for us including a free prize draw for a number of must-have goodies, industry reps (see Industry Attendees list below to see who will have reps onsite) for you to quiz with problems, discounts etc etc. Not forgetting that this is your chance to meet up with all the people you know online, maybe advise them on any issues you have solved or figured and for others to help you out with any issues and to check out up to 100 Jaguars including the new Jaguar F-Pace AWD!!

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.

If you would like to sign up for this event please just pop a post on the thread inc how many will likely be coming, and car details, and I will add you in, noting you can join just the main event, or the event and convoy. If you prefer, you are also very welcome to sign up by dropping a line to JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk :-)

Can't make this one as we're out of the country, but for anyone who wants to see what it's like, these are some photo's i took during last years Brighton Convoy event :














































































































































































I'd never been to Brighton so the wife and i booked into a hotel and stayed for the weekend. This is my SRT parked up in an underground carpark by the seafront, and noticed the lovely red F type parked a few cars along.

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, and I am working on gaining much more industry support than previously, and ensuring that everyone has a fantastic 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.

Then there will 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 JaguarForumns.com event when ordering.

The only other cost for the day is the parking which is likely to be £3.20 for one hour, £5.20 for 2 hours, £10.40 for 4 hours or £15.60 for 11 hours (Brighton Council are reviewing the rates in April though ).

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)

The main meet will follow on from then with as much going on as I can pull together for us including a free prize draw for a number of must-have goodies, industry reps (see Industry Attendees list below to see who will have reps onsite) for you to quiz with problems, discounts etc etc. Not forgetting that this is your chance to meet up with all the people you know online, maybe advise them on any issues you have solved or figured and for others to help you out with any issues and to check out up to 100 Jaguars including the new Jaguar F-Pace AWD!!

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.

If you would like to sign up for this event please just pop a post on the thread inc how many will likely be coming, and car details, and I will add you in, noting you can join just the main event, or the event and convoy. If you prefer, you are also very welcome to sign up by dropping a line to JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk :-)

I have just been reviewing last years event and we are getting close to matching last years event!

We now have 60 Jaguars signed up compared to the 64 Jaguars that were signed up for last years event and we still have three months to go :-)

If you know of anyone with a Jaguar - be it a rare classic or like my X-Type, the school run taxi for the kids please get them to sign up for our great event - it is a great day out for them, their Jag, and their family and not to be missed :-)

We are currently beating last years event in lots of ways:

Discounted and guaranteed availability of accomodation
Not one or even two companies onsite to meet you, but five
A bigger than ever free prize draw
Two venues this year, not just one
Discounted Costa (20%) at the first venue
Even more discount codes, freebies, and deals from our great sponsors.

This is all in addition to the features we had last year and you have come to expect with the Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet :-)

Not too sure what we can get organised for 2017, but I am already going over the options and how to go yet another level - so go on sign up to a great and growing Jaguar event...

So go on, if you haven't signed up yet please do, and if you know anyone with a Jaguar please see if they would like what is on offer too..

There are three more months of work to go until the day of our Brighton event, and I am hopeful we can maybe just manage my aim of 100 Jags/50 Years..

The event has a fair number of followers on it's Twitter feed including some big industry names, it has an event page on Facebook where non forum people are keeping an eye on it, and our master forum thread is mirrored across two other Jaguar specific forums, and one general automotive forum..

We have 14 sponsors supplying everything from showroom cars to look over, discounted & guaranteed availability of local accomodation, product range discounts, samples, vouchers, prize draw prizes you will wonder how you managed without, banner signing, professional event photography, through to a support vehicle in case of any problems, and even industry specialists onsite to answer all your queries about your prized Jaguar.

We have even managed to persuade a contingent to attend from the Netherlands with some gorgeous Jags, as well as attendees from most areas of the UK. The oldest car signed up is only four years younger than me, and I am definately no spring chicken..

Everything that the event has had from previous years has been added to, so even our die hard, regulars are guaranteed a new experience this year..

It really is the best and biggest Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet event we have ever run.. and I still have three months left to see what else we can maybe pull together for it :-)

This event really is big for us.. so anyone thinking of signing up, or maybe is thinking of someone else who has a Jag and might want to attend - please sign up - don't miss out on the largest Brighton Convoy & Meet event we have run.
