Hi there,

First of all apologies if I have upset you or given problems with my methodology. There was no intention to do so..
The master feed for the planned meet, and past meets are carried at jaguarforums.com, and by moving up one level from the details of the last meet you can access the main feed about the next meet.
The feed tends to be more a progress report, and the start of encouraging attendees (bearing in mind the larger the numbers the more I can try to swing things for us) in the early days - new people signing up, progress with Jaguar dealership involvement, and currently working hard on JLR theirselves to see if I can reduce the costs to attendees even more.
As the date approaches it becomes much busier with attendees discussing who's coming, who with etc etc.
Meanwhile you are very welcome to see the current main thread at http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-68/uk-south-e... if you like.
Apologies again, and if you have any other issues at all please feel free to email me, or post here, or whatsapp me.

Do you want to attend just the meet, or the meet and the convoy? As soon as I know your preferences I'll add you in.. and what year is your Focus?
Many thanks

Hi there it will be a Sunday morning in December - usually a month or so in advance I put the available dates up (when there is nothing else happening in Madiera Drive) and the date that gets the most 'votes' is the one we go for. It is usually an early meet at Pease Pottage with a cruise down the A23 to Madiera Drive, setting up there.. everyone off for a big breakfast at fixed cost before the car viewings and group photos for the forums.
I'll pop you down for it if you are Ok with it.. :-)

Hi Guys,

I have had a response from Jaguars Senior Manager for Sponsorship & Brand Partnerships saying that they view the Bi-Annual meet as a UK opportunity, and I have moved onto another member of Jaguar staff that deals with UK sponsorship.. I am somewhat more hopeful now that we can achieve a degree of support from JLR theirselves for our event.. I will keep you guys updated as I go, bearing in mind it has taken quite a few months to get this far with Jaguar :-) I will keep plugging away as I really feel that we have a great event, and if we can get support from Jaguar theirselves there is so much more we can do for us and the cars we love so much..

OK I have the (currently) final response from Jaguar..

.. we are not taking on any new projects at the moment - got a lot on our plate!

I gave it a go :-( and apologies for failing, but not to worry I will revisit them next year in case the situation changes :-)

Meanwhile we still have our meet to organise.. I am still anticipating Harwoods Jaguar attending the meet along with a showroom car, and advice on servicing, and sales - any one interested in coming along in December please pop a post up her or drop me an email and I'll add you in. It is sure to be a great day, breaking up the winter doldrums we are all suffer with...

Ok I'm back from my five days of looking for Jaguars in Switzerland and back on the case.. so anyone wanting to put theirselves forward for what is due to be a great Jaguar day out by the seaside (yes I know it'll be winter but.. you never know nowadays.. could be glorious weather :-)) please pop a post on here or drop me an email and I'll add you in...

Yes I know this is an age off.. but I usually start things off quite a way in advance.. now I know winter is usually a dark grey sort of time of year with plenty of rain, wind, and bad weather leaving us little choice but to hunker down in front of a TV watching archived film clips of our favourite cars on TopGear..
In south east UK we don't do this - we organise our bi-annual Brighton convoy & meet!
It's a great chance for you to have a break from the Christmas rush and shopping and to have some time with great company, fantastic cars, a mug of tea and something to eat..
Depending on how many people are interested I will try to get something more organised if I can..

In case you are wondering - this will be the third Bi-Annual Brighton meet and the details of the last one can be found here: UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2014 in Brighton if you want to check it out..

As and when updates occur I post them.. whilst I take what you say onboard I do not see posting updates as spamming, and on that I believe we will likely never agree.. people are listed against where they posted an interest, not the forums that they frequent, and I believe you will find that the majority do not only frequent the forums that they are listed against, but also other forums such as PH. However if I refrain from posting updates, and you from raising it back up the lists by posting about spamming I believe your issue with this thread will fade into the past :-) I hope that this will solve the issue as you see it :-)

We are in Autumn officially now, and with winter coming this is the time to not only try to get your chips, scratches and paint damage sorted before the first frosts (in my case with school runs and two children it feels like a losing battle :-)), but also time to guarantee yourself at least one great day in the midst of the winter. Why not sign yourself up for the December event - our Bi-Annual Brighton Meet? It costs nothing to sign up for, nothing to come to, and I'll list up the parking costs, and fixed meal costs for a big breakfast before the day so you won't even have to break the bank or wonder if you need to bring any money.. The event even offers a choice of dates in December so if you only have select days you could make it, it could well be on that day if the majority is available that day.. go on.. you deserve a break from Christmas shopping, a big breakfast, and a great time with fellow Jaguar owners. This meet there will even be some other marques coming along to add to the mix and discussions.. if you would like a day off in December please put your name forward in a post on here, or p.m. me or even email me at stephen.sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk

If you are unsure whether to sign up for this or not.. it's not just a meet of owners and drivers but I will also be sorting a fixed price meal deal for us, tying in with Harwoods Jaguar to see if Tony is able to attend and meet up with us with the latest showroom Jaguar he has for us to see, and tentatively, alongside organising a visit to a great little auto box repair shop in Brighton, am hoping to get them to come along to discuss any gearbox issues or questions people may have for them.

I know winter is usually a dark grey sort of time of year with plenty of rain, wind, and bad weather leaving us little choice but to hunker down in front of a TV watching archived film clips of our favourite cars on TopGear..

In south-east UK we don't do this - we organise our bi-annual Brighton convoy & meet!

This years winter meet is happening on Sunday 7th December - with a convoy travelling down from Pease Pottage Services to Madiera Drive, everyone parking up in one huge block of cars, followed by a fixed price big breakfast to set us up for the morning. I am in the process of organising what I can and a full itinery will be listed in the next few weeks including all and any costs there may be.. so you know everything you need to know before the event.

It's a great chance for you to have a break from the Christmas rush and shopping and to have some time with great company, fantastic cars, a mug of tea and something to eat..

Please note that with this being the Winter meet it is open to other marques - with a warm Jaguar welcome for everyone.

In case you are wondering - this will be the third Bi-Annual Brighton meet and the details of the last one can be found here: UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2014 in Brighton if you want to check it out..Just so you know who has indicated an interest (in no particular order) in attending on the day, so far it looks like this....

If you would like to be added please just make a post saying so (or if non member email me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk to be added) and I will be very happy to add you to the list.

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