Hi there,

I am organising a cross forum Jaguar meet...
Please see the thread at http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-68/uk-south-e... for the latest info..

For any one considering coming along but not yet decided... Why not come along?

This should be a great day out for you, and your car, by the seaside against the classic backdrop of the Brighton promenades.

A chance to meet other forum members (you have often wondered what faces and cars are represented by the posts on here), pick up hints or tips about your car and do the same for others. A chance to say thanks in person to members that have helped you, or them of you.

This is a fantastic chance to see all the models of Jaguar in just one place, hear the gorgeous sound of a number of different capacities and ages of Jaguar engines, and to see the work we all put in to show our cars off at their best.


The will be cars right from 1984 through to 2012 there.. over 25 years of car production by our favourite luxury car manufacturer. Additionally I am trying to get every model represented if I can.

Also, In addition to the meet itself we are also organising a convoy down the A23 from Crawley to Brighton for the start of the day, along with the obligatory big breakfast and mugs of tea in a local café there before we start, and a chance to get to know everyone.

During the day members of public will likely have a look at our cars and photograph them, asking questions, stopping to chat.. we'll get some pics of our meet and a signed banner up on the forum with everyone on it.. and most importantly we will know who is who on the forums.. and their cars :-)

I am hoping we can also get something or other sorted with Jaguar but I think we are dependant on numbers to manage that - but I will give it a good go.

So if you are free on the 25th of May and want a really good Top Gear type of Jaguar day out please just put your name down for it..

Just so you know who has indicated an interest so far in attending, it now looks like the list below...

I am also pleased to say we have our first attendees from JaguarForum.co.uk & JaguarOwnersClub.com to be added to the list, and would like extend a very warm welcome to them.

If YOU would like to be added please just make a post saying so (or if not a forum member you are welcome to email me at Stephen.sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk) and I will be happy to add you to the list.

Listed below are Car details plus occupants (inc driver) where we have the info.

Hi Jamie,

I will add you into the list of attendees.. Many thanks for your post.. I look forward to seeing you there on the day.

Could you let me know the year of your car, and if you want to attend just the meet itself, or the convoy down the A23 as well as the meet?

Many, many thanks..

Steve

HiJamie.. I will be posting more info in a couple of weeks when we are nearer the time (and my work schedule has eased a bit :-( ) but the plan is for the convoy meet to be assembled 9am on the day, with an eta in Brighton of 9:45am to try to ensure we can all get adjacent spaces on the seafront before the spaces start to fill up.
There is one XF on the list so far - and the possibility of an XFR coming along..

All the best
Steve

Could anyone that wants to come along, but either doesn't have a Jaguar, or has one but it is off the road for any reason, please drop me a line as we do have a number of free seats in cars that will definately be coming along and I will happily connect anyone needing a seat with a seat (yes I know - bad grammar lol)_ but should you want to come along and want a lift please let me know and I'll get something sorted for you ..

All the best

OK, I have had quite a few requests for more specific info on times and places - everything is still very much a work in progress and I will be putting up every iota of info I have a week or so before the meet..

Meanwhile though this is what I have so far for your info..

The plan (so far) is:

25th May

8:45am-9:00am Initial Meet at Pease Pottage Service Station at the bottom of the M23
9:15am Leave in convoy travelling down the A23 to Madiera Drive, Brighton.
9:45 Arrive in Madiera Drive approx taking as many adjacent parking slots in one block as we can.
10:00am Head off for big breakfast and mugs of tea in a cafe literally just a few metres from the parking which I know has reasonable pricing, nice food and great tea :-)
10:30am Back to the cars, to meet the public, check out cars etc..

That is it so far - but it is still a work in progress. I will be contacting the local Jaguar Dealership next week to try to get them involved in any way they will agree to.. I am currently working on dashboard info sheets so we know who's car is who's (bad grammar there) and any pertinent info for anyone having a look or photographing their cars.. I am looking into name tags if I can do it on a budget (grin) as I at least am terrible with names.. there will also be a forum banner everyone needs to sign, and if we can get some group shots for the forums it would be great..

I am very open to anyone's thoughts or suggestions for the day..

As for costings for this.. aside from your fuel you are looking at for likely about £5 or thereabouts at the cafe, and the parking (it's gone up this year) £10 for four hours per slot or £15 for 11 hours per space.

I am looking into maybe next year we take over Madiera Drive, closing it exclusively for our use.. but I am way ahead of myself and we will need about £400 of sponsorship to close the road.. again I am open to thoughts and suggestions as always on this.

I hope this info helps you - I am very open to tweaks and suggestions on things - but am hoping things are organised OK :-))
