Bi-Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet Dec 7th

[SteveSheldon]

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 very latest stats on our favourite bi-annual event.. JUST 5 DAYS TO GO!

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

We have Harwoods Jaguar Brighton in attendance with hopefully either two showroom F-Type Coupes, or one showroom F-Type and a showroom XK Dynamic to look over

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 54 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 60 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, a Morgan 3 wheeler, a Mclaren MP4 and more...

Gary, owner of The Jag Gallery has kindly suggested photo shoots with his gallery as a backdrop for anyone who would like that...

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: UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2015 in Brighton 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 :-)

[SteveSheldon]

OK we have hit the magic 60 vehicles! I am in and out of meetings at work over the next few days so I'm going to try to list all the info you need in this post..

The days itinerary is listed below for your info, so you know when you need to be where for this event...
 

08:15 Meet at Pease Pottage Service Station at the base of the M23.

08:20 Initial 'Welcome to the Event' greeting, and packs handed out.

08:30 Depart in convoy for Brighton (cruising speed 65mph)

09:15 Park up in one large parking block in Madiera Drive.

09:30-10:30 Big Breakfast in Madiera Cafe (b/fast + tea/coffee for £5 only)

10:30 General social events etc. start

11:30 Group signings of banner, and group photos for the forums

 

The parking is pay and display at this location and is £1 for an hour, £2 for two hours, £4 for four hours, or £7 for 11 hours (I would suggest for most people the £4 parking option will be sufficient). Your meal will be £5.00 per person.. so hopefully no shocks or surprises if you are on a budget    

                    

Possibly the best area to park at Pease Pottage Services is to the left as you go in, as from memory the HGVs park to the right.

 

At Pease Pottage Services the Welcome Packs will be distributed one per car and on a first come, first served basis as I didn't anticipate quite as much interest as we have had in this meet - I *will* do better for the next meet in May :-)

Additionally at Pease Pottage we will need to do a very quick photo shoot with the Welcome Packs for our sponsors.

The cruise to Brighton is set at 65mph to ensure all our vehicles make it without any problems considering that we have vehicles from 1968 right through to 2014.

We need to park up on Madiera Drive in one block if at all possible somewhere between The Jag Art Gallery and the Madeira Cafe.

The Madiera cafe may well struggle with our numbers on the day so I may have to negotiate the same breakfast deal with another cafe next door and spread the load.

Tony will be there to answer any Jaguar sales related questions, and will hopefully have two showroom cars for us to have a look at and Kevin will be there from the Automatic Gearbox Centre to answer any transmission queries..

 

We will all be signing the meet banner and having group shots taken for the forums at 11:30..

On the day you will need to track me down for the Welcome Packs etc .. My car is a dark blue X-Type 2.5 RN02CVS, and my phone number should you need to get hold of me on the day is 07914 116375. I will also be trying to monitor emails etc as I go.. JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk or stephen.sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk

OK - today is the last day I'll be officially posting on here before the meet. Anyone wanting to be added to the list between now and the day, please post on here but also email me, to let me know, at the usual address of JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk as I will stand a better chance of picking up an email.

Anyone not yet signed up there is still time to do so, and you will be very welcome to come along.

The weather looks to be the same as we had at the last winter meet - wet and windy first thing, but easing through the morning.. so hopefully it will be dry on arrival in Brighton.

We currently have a host of things going on.. from goody bags to start the event, a convoy down the A23 to the main meet site, Harwoods Jaguar - Brighton & The Automatic Gearbox Centre attending to answer your questions, a fixed price breakfast with tea/coffee, lots of cars to look over including, with this meet, a 3 wheeler Morgan, TVR Tuscans, a Noble, a Mclaren and more!!

 

Also we have two photoshoots - one at the start of the convoy for our sponsors and another against the backdrop of The Jag Art Gallery for the forums.. *plus* getting our names onto the official forum banner used at all our Bi-Annual Brighton Convoy &
Meets for prosperity!

It's going to be a great day and that's not all - I am already working on the spring/summer event - warmer weather, same great backdrop, and even more packed into the day - if you enjoy our December meet why not sign up for the next one now and guarantee yourself a great Jaguar day out!

All the info you need for this December meet is in the thread above this - and if you want the *full* thread then please go to UK South East Meet December 2014 in Brighton where you will find the master thread..

I look forward to seeing you all on the day,,,
       

[SteveSheldon]

Hi All

I took Monday off forum work (well, apart for sending photo's to people by email where requested and keeping a
general eye on things) and I now have a stackload to work through here lol - there's always a cost to days off grin

OK, I believe most the pictures and videos are up online now, and I will hopefully be getting a chance to pull together the synopsis of the day for everyone.

Thankyou again to everyone who came along on the day, and to our sponsors: Car-Chem, MotorGeek, SNG Barratt UK, and Harwoods Jaguar Brighton.

Those of you that received goodie bags please make good use of those discount vouchers for the products that you like - it's by our feedback that our sponsors know it is worth sticking with us for future meets :-)

I have collated everything into the master thread rather than try duplicating everything everywhere or split things
across the forums - so if you want to see some great photos of the day, and see all the chat and discussion to-date please have a look at:  
http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/uk-south-east-meet-december-2014-brighton-119699/

*and* if you enjoyed the day, and want another day but with warmer weather and the promise of more things going on please put your name forward here:
http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/uk-south-east-meet-spring-summer-2015-brighton-131529/

[SteveSheldon]

OK.... a little bit of an update we are already looking at double figures for people signed up for the next bi-annual meet ( UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2015 in Brighton ) and shortly I will be sending off the pics from the event, along with our comments regarding the Welcome Pack contents, to our event sponsors.

It would be very helpful if you could pm me your comments on the product samples so I have something to feed back to them whilst asking them if I can interest them in supporting our spring/summer event.

Meanwhile though please have a great Christmas and Happy New Year
-
The Sheldon family

[SteveSheldon]

OK, yes I know this is a while off but the next Bi-Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet will be happening in May 2015!

The event will have the format of a primary meet at Pease Pottage Services, with a convoy down to Madiera Drive, parking up in one huge block there for the main meet, prior to a fixed price big breakfast and the social events, photo shoots etc.

I am working hard on retaining our sponsors from the Winter meet, and will try to ensure we have industry attendees to answer any Jaguar sales or servicing questions you may have.

The last Spring/Summer meet attracted a lot of interest from tourists interested in the cars, and was a fantastic day all round, so it is well worth putting your name forward for. The more attendees we have the more interest I will be able to raise in sponsorship and industry attendance.

If you would like to check up on some of our recent Bi-Annual Convoy and Meet events please have a look here: UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2014 in Brighton and here: UK South East Meet December 2014 in Brighton

Being a Spring/Summer meet this event will be exclusively Jaguar - if you have a car of another marque - don't worry - the next Winter meet will be open to all marques again.

If you would like to attend this convoy and meet please put your name forward and I will be happy to add you in. The event is free as such, as always, and will continue to be so, but there will be parking costs, and the cost of the fixed price breakfast on the day.

You can put a post up on this thread if you wish to attend, or you can email me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk - either way I will happily add you in.. as usual I need to know if you wish to attend just the main meet, or the met and the convoy, your car and year, and how many people will likely be travelling..

This event will be happening on one of the following dates: 3rd, 10th, 17th or 24th of May 2015 - I will be putting the dates up for voting nearer the time.

The next Bi-Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet will be happening on 24th May 2015 - Less than FOUR weeks away now! This meet will be our fourth one, and we will have been running this event for two years now!

This Spring/Summer event is Jaguar exclusive, but if you have a car of another marque don't worry - the Winter event will again be open to all marques with a warm Jaguar welcome for everyone.

For those who don't know, the event comprises of two components - an initial meet at Pease Pottage Services with Welcome packs and goodie bags handed out, and a convoy at a steady 65mph down to the main meet and event in Madiera Drive, Brighton. The distance is approx 24 miles on major roads which should ensure all attendees can manage it without issue.

At the main meet in Brighton we have breakfasts (from £2.99), photo shoots, socialising, industry attendees there to answer all those questions you have never managed to get answered, a FREE prize draw for some SNG Barratt goodies, and more - and all with the backdrop of the Victorian promenades, and everything a family could possibly want on a day out with the Pier, the beaches, the sea gently rolling in, the Proms, and a huge local shopping centre.

This year we are sandwiched in the middle of a month of MG, Mini, and Classic Car Meet days so I am sure our meet will raise a lot of interest... esp with one or two brand new showroom XE's there, literally *just* delivered to Harwoods Brighton, hopefully in attendance on the day!!

We are already listed as an official event with Brighton & Hove, & East Sussex Councils - and I am working on trying to get further advertising and newspaper coverage in place if I can,,

If you would like to attend this convoy and meet ( a guaranteed great day out for you, your family and your car) please put your name forward and I will be happy to add you in.

You can put a post up on this thread if you wish to attend, or you can email me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk - either way I will happily add you in.. as usual I need to know if you wish to attend just the main meet, or the meet and the convoy, your car and year, and how many people will likely be travelling in the car..

We even have a NEW live Twitter feed for our event @JFBrightonMeets #MayJagMeet - why not follow our updates, news and info as we go there?

The itinerary, parking, & breakfast costs are all listed in this thread, so there are no surprises for those of us on a budget - but the event itself as such is FREE and will remain so.

Should you be without your car for any reason on the day please contact anyone below listed as having free seats - we look after our own and would still love you to be able to come!

If you haven't been before and would like to check up on some of our recent Bi-Annual Convoy and Meet events please have a look here: UK South East Meet December 2014 in Brighton or UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2014 in Brighton

Hi Steve

 

Please count me in again! Joined you in the summer, most enjoyable until my XKR was involved in a small RTC on the way home.

 

I should be a 1+1

 

Regards

Steve (Pablojag1)
