UK South East Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet 29th May 2016

[SteveSheldon]

Welcome to the 2016 Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - with the main venue being Madeira Drive on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar EXCLUSIVE event! This year I have been working on gaining much more industry support than previously, more prizes, freebies, discounts, even specialists on site to chat to.. hopefully ensuring that everyone has a fantastic Jaguar 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.

There will then 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 Madeira Drive - remember to say you are with the JaguarForums.com event when ordering.

The only other cost for the day is the parking which is set to be £3.20 for one hour, £6.00 for 2 hours, £11.00 for 4 hours or £16.00 for 11 hours.

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)

Our itinerary for the day is:

07:45 Sharp Meet at Pease Pottage Services for Welcome Packs and a quick rundown of the day. remember we have an indoor area set saside for us and to get your 20% discount on Costa products by saying you are with the JaguarForums.com event!

08:20 Depart in convoy from Pease Pottage Services for Madeira Drive, Brighton

09:00-10:00 We are booked into the Madeira Harvester for breakfast - they recommend the two of everything for £4.99 plus drinks - remember to state you are with the JaguarForums.com event as they are setting an area aside for us.

10:00 -12:30 General socialising, car inspections, & meet the industry specialists we have onsite.

12:30 Group signing of event banner and photo shoots for the forums, Twitter and Facebook.

12:45 Main prize draw, drawn by Tony from Harwoods Jaguar

12:55 Secondary draw of some specialist items, drawn by the RevsUK team.

13:00 RevsUK & Tony will announce the winner of 'Best Turned Out Jaguar'

[SteveSheldon]

Welcome to the 2016 Annual Brighton Convoy & Meet

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - with the main venue being Madeira Drive on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar EXCLUSIVE event! This year I have been working on gaining much more industry support than previously, more prizes, freebies, discounts, even specialists on site to chat to.. hopefully ensuring that everyone has a fantastic Jaguar 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.

There will then 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 Madeira Drive - remember to say you are with the JaguarForums.com event when ordering.

The only other cost for the day is the parking which is set to be £3.20 for one hour, £6.00 for 2 hours, £11.00 for 4 hours or £16.00 for 11 hours.

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)

Our itinerary for the day is:

07:45 Sharp Meet at Pease Pottage Services for Welcome Packs and a quick rundown of the day. remember we have an indoor area set saside for us and to get your 20% discount on Costa products by saying you are with the JaguarForums.com event!

08:20 Depart in convoy from Pease Pottage Services for Madeira Drive, Brighton

09:00-10:00 We are booked into the Madeira Harvester for breakfast - they recommend the two of everything for £4.99 plus drinks - remember to state you are with the JaguarForums.com event as they are setting an area aside for us.

10:00 -12:30 General socialising, car inspections, & meet the industry specialists we have onsite.

12:30 Group signing of event banner and photo shoots for the forums, Twitter and Facebook.

12:45 Main prize draw, drawn by Tony from Harwoods Jaguar

12:55 Secondary draw of some specialist items, drawn by the RevsUK team.

13:00 RevsUK & Tony will announce the winner of 'Best Turned Out Jaguar'

Another of the great prizes in our free prize draw on the day that I believe you will not be able to imagine being without once you have won it, is the NextBase 212 Dash Cam.

I actually have one of these myself after a number of incidents happening in front of me, and wishing I had a recording of them.

The brand new 212 Lite comes with a very long charger lead, a magnetic screen mount, plus the obligitory manual on a disk. As you will all know I am not car mechanic material in any way shape or form lol - I break as much as I fix as I go, but the screen mount goes on fine, and with beading removed and cable popped in I managed to route the power cable to the back of the XJ without issue.

And this is where the simpicity of the dash cam from NextBase really exceeded my expectations.. I popped in a MicroSD card, programmed in the XJs plate number in and that was literally it - the presets on it work fine for me, the magnetic mount is great making it easy to plug in or remove whenever wanted (unlike my mobile phone mount sigh) The video quality is superb.. and already several near misses have been recorded.. this dashcam has already become for me something you do not go out without, really highly recommended.

Product details can be found here if you want to know more.

This a great (and NEW) product is currently only available through Halfords at £69.99, but thanks to Nextbase you can win this great modern necessity in our free prize draw!!

[SteveSheldon]

We have a last minute prize added to our prize draw on the day!

Holiday Inn Express Crawley are offering a voucher for a free nights accomodation..

Many thanks to them for this.

So there we go - we have 114 Jaguars coming on the day, over 200 attendees (including our Industry attendees), two venues, discounted drinks at venue #1, and fixed price breakfasts at venue #2, 7 companies onsite to meet everyone informally answering all your questions, the biggest ever free prize raffle to-date, the prestigeous JaguarForums.com 'Best Turned Out Jag' award to vie for, photo shoots, banner signing for posterity, a fantastic social occasion to put cars and faces to those names you know online, plus freebies, samples, discounts and so much more :-)

And all this at a FREE Jaguar event!!

[SteveSheldon]

Good morning Steve,

It is with huge regret I have to pull out of the meeting this Sunday. When I bought my Jaguar in October last year I had a couple of moments when the car went into limp home mode. Stopping the car and re-starting it normally reset the problem and the fault went away until a month ago when it suddenly re-appeared again just the once.

However, yesterday the fault returned again four times in quick succession on a 15 mile trip from Poole on a National Speed Limit road with no pull in area. It is now booked into my specialist dealer so I cannot risk breaking down on route or worse still during the convoy.

 

I trust the event will be the huge success you plan for and I'll post the reults of her diagnosis for the benefit of the other forum users.

Regards,

Peter

[SteveSheldon]

Hi Peter - very sorry to hear about any poorly Jag. Please keep an eye out for the thread for next years event - it will be biggesr still :-)

[CBers]

Hope you all have a great day today.

[SteveSheldon]

Hi Guys,

Just a very brief message until I get a chance to get online for any length of time.. likely next week.. I have uploaded all my photos to our event page on Facebook - www.facebook.com/JaguarForumsUK I hope you like them :-)

Additionally, and far far better than mine - you have the photos that Steve from CarSnapped took of our event here: https://www.facebook.com/CarSnapped/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1140145022714608

[Wessex]

Glad all of your hard work resulted in a very successful day Steve.

My car was taken into care on Tuesday and was diagnosed with a faulty sensor in the throttle body. It was replaced with a second hand sensor (new throttle body £1,500!!!) so we'll see how it goes. However, I have noticed a marked improvement in throttle response and a much higher MPG figure without too much trying.

[SteveSheldon]

Hi Guys, I am still working on things here with sponsorship photos and a synopsis of the day *but* in the meanwhile I have made all my photos from the day available on OneDrive - please feel free to view and download any that you like :-)

Welcome to our JaguarForums.com Brighton Convoy & Meet event for 2016.

The weather was good on the day, especially considering that it had been raining just the day before.

It was 7:15am on the day when Paul & Tia (PaulJag) pulled up outside my house - both in XJ's. A sight that I could happily enjoy any day of the year - three XJs outside :-)

Paul and Tia packed what I hadn't been able to fit in my XJ and we set off for Pease Pottage Services. I was well chuffed because I was completely organised and due to be at the start of the event in plenty of time for the first time ever.

As we pulled into Pease Pottage Services there were Jaguars all over the place, and groups of people chatting in the car park. Steve from CarSnapped was at the entrance getting lots of shots of arriving cars - he had been there since sometime just after 6am I believe!!

It was then that I realised that all my change for the car parking at Brighton was still at home (so much for the first time ever :-)) so I left Paul & Tia to get things setup whilst I popped back home to get my change (£16 of change - Brighton is not cheap nowadays).

On getting back to Pease Pottage I found Paul & Tia completely on top of things - everything was laid out, and attendees were all busy signing in and collecting their goodies. Afterwards I found out that Paul & Tia have run events in the past - they were incredible :-) Many thanks to them for the copious amounts of help and support through the day!

We managed to collect the majority of the people into the conservatory area and ran through the days itinerary prior to everyone heading off for Brighton seafront.

Some Jaguars made it down in advance of the main convoy, with others grouping together just prior to entering Brighton. There was the usual problems with the traffic lights and controls breaking the convoy up but we managed to keep the general grouping right down to Madiera Drive.

There was, for a short while, a huge queue of Jaguars waiting on parking, with others parking, and a few already parked - definately marking Madiera Drive as Jaguar territory for a short while at least.

 The parking meters gave us problems as usual.. the most common issue being that they would take all but £2 of what you needed to insert, and then reject all the coins you had inserted.. but eventually everyone was sorted and headed in for breakfast.

Whilst everyone was in for breakfast I went round all the cars trying to get some good shots.. admittedly no where near as good as the shots CarSnapped managed to get.. my shots are here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D7AB1E40951CBB8F!1838&authkey=!AK84oyfOasOM8uU&ithint=folder%2cJPG and you are very welcome to viw them, and download any that you especially like free.

After breakfast there were huge amounts of people looking around the cars.. we had everything from a Project 7 through to E-Types, Mk II, a 420 and so much more. Tony was there from Harwoods with the all new F-Pace and was attracting quite a lot of interest..

The majority of the cars had dashboard sheets on the dash so they could be considered for the new prestigeous JaguarForums.com award of 'Best Turned Out Jag' for 2016 making it easy to see who was with our event.

Holiday Inn Express Crawley arrived onsite just before the Prize Draw to personally hand over an unexpected prize of a free nights accomodation - Many thanks to them for that!
 
There was some issues late morning with the parking, resulting in things being moved forward so the Prize Draws and the new 'Best Turned Out Jag' Award presentations all kicked off at about 12:30 if I remember correctly.

We had some fantastic prizes, all drawn by Tony from Harwoods, with the finale being a bottle of champagne from Harwoods Jaguar and a superb luxury car shampoo and polisher set from PrestigeCarCareShop for the JaguarForums.com 'Best Turned Out Jaguar'

The day was a great Jaguar day out - absolute luxury with the range of cars we had attending on the day! Our prizes included, to list just a few of, a dashcam, filter cleaning systems, workshop manuals, vouchers, mugs, a free nights accomodation, champagne, luxury shampoo... and so so much more.

Huge thanks go to the following companies who got involved this year, and in some cases went beyond anything I could have hoped for: Harwoods Jaguar Brighton, Carsnapped, SNG Barratt, WaxOn-WaxOff, Autoglym, Haynes Manuals, Scratch Shield, Furniture Clinic, PVD, Moto Services, Holiday Inn Express Crawley, Rimmer Bros, Lancaster Insurance, NextbaseUK, Revs UK, We love Brighton, JagTechnic, The Automatic Gearbox Centre, Carphile, Revs UK and MotorMartin.

Massive thanks go to everyone who attended this years event, and anyone else I have not mentioned who took the time to get involved and help make this the biggest and best event we have run to-date.

Please remember that the discount codes listed in this thread should work right through to close to our next event too!! Helping our event keep your Jaguar running costs to a minimum.

And finally please keep an eye out for the thread for our next event :-)

[SteveSheldon]

Does anyone have experience of producing advertising artwork, as we have been offered a 1/4 page advertising slot for free but need to produce the artwork for it by the end of the month in order to take advantage of it.

Could anyone who could help please drop me a line?

[SteveSheldon]

I have just done some basic maths here (trust me it has to be basic lol) and here are the vital stats from our 2016 event:

We achieved......

Our Fifth Ever JaguarForums.com Brighton Convoy & Meet Event
100 Jaguars attended
62 years of Jaguar production were covered
Approximately £500 of Prizes were won, donated by Seven Contributing Sponsors
Our first ever JaguarForums.com Best Turned Out Jaguar award was awarded
Our Forum threads amassed over 98,000 views
Our event Twitter feed 167 followers inc some huge industry names
Our Facebook event page was launched and gained 39 friends

We created, and got to enjoy, our biggest Brighton event to-date. An event that broke all our previous records for this event :-) Huge and massive thanks to all of us - the sponsors to the supporters, the attendees to our advertisers.. thankyou everyone.

[SteveSheldon]

Prestige Car Care Shop has also come forward saying they would be happy to sponsor next years event... which is great news for us.

I will be looking into alternate venues for next years event, and already have a couple of possible leads for us which may result in a less spread out event, which is always an issue with Madiera Drive, and no parking costs for us. The date is currently set as 29th May 2017.

You will likely get a text from me over the next few days just touching base, checking up on how you feel this years event went for you, and enquiring if you might be interested in next years event - please let me know regarding both :-)

I will update everyone as I go with things, as always via the forums, and our twitter and facebook accounts.. :-)

In the meanwhile please don't forget we have the following discount codes for you to help you keep your Jaguar costs down:

[SteveSheldon]

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.

[SteveSheldon]

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 :-)
