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

[SteveSheldon]

OK guys,

Very latest info hot off the press - Kevin from The Automatic Gearbox Centre ( http://www.automaticgearboxcentre.co.uk/ ) will be onsite on the day, to answer all your transmission queries.

Please join me in welcoming him to our event.

[SteveSheldon]

So, on the day there will now be three industry reps available at the event to answer all your questions about sales, servicing, lubricants, and transmission!

This is in addition to your discounts, freebies, samples, info, showroom car(s) to check out, free prize draw entry for some great prizes, a fixed price big breakfast, photo shoots, banner signing and everything Brighton seafront has to offer us!

So much going on - so go on treat yourself, your Jaguar, and your family to a great Jaguar day out and sign up now :-)

[SteveSheldon]

OK, today I am continuing to try to organise something with a coffee-house for us (they do tea/coffee/soft drinks etc) at the very start of the event, and later in the week I will be doing the rounds again to see if I can get any closer to organising some discounted accomodation for any attendees making a weekend of the event.

At this point in time we have had over 16000 forum thread hits, have 60 Twitter followers and 10 facebook friends - an incredible level of interest for our event!

Thankyou to everyone who has got involved with our event so far - thanks to everyone from sponsors, to representatives on-site, through to all the attendees signing up - you are helping us to make the best Jaguar day out by the seaside fantastic!

[SteveSheldon]

This event will be taking place on 29th May 2016 - most likely to be on the Brighton seafront as usual.

It is a Jaguar only event, and I am working on gaining much more industry support than previously, trying to get close to matching Jims last organised event :-), and ensuring that everyone has a fantastic day to remember.

There will be a convoy on the morning from Pease Pottage Services to the seafront, with us all setting up camp in one huge parking block prior to a fantastic breakfast with a sea view, and the main meet with as much going on as I can pull together for us
including a free raffle 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. Plus the usual Welcome Packs on the day with free samples, info etc etc.

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 :-)

Hi Wessex, Very happy to add you both in for the event - there is already plenty going on on the day for you and your cat, and I am still working on more.. add to this the seaside, a big breakfast, and everything Brighton can offer and I am sure you will both have a great day.

[SteveSheldon]

OK - currently I am waiting on two potential sponsors, and am hopeful that I can bring you some good news on them both before the end of the week :-)

We already have a great day ahead - one that is only getting better and better as I go - so if you haven't signed up yet, why not?

For the cost of a parking space at the seafront and a fixed price big breakfast (I will have hard and fast figures on both in January for you) you can have a family day out with your prized Jag by the seaside, with free samples, discounts, selected info of use, specialists in sales, servicing, lubrication, and transmissions there for you, and a great chance at a host of free prizes in a prize draw held on the day.. PLUS everything Brighton has to offer with the pier, fish and chips, shopping arcades - you cant lose!!

So go on, treat your family to a day out, your Jag to a day with the backdrop of the Victorian promenades, and some great freebies - sign up here on the forum thread or drop me a line at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk and join in what is set to be a great day!

[SteveSheldon]

I have been in touch with a number of Jaguar model specific, and independent clubs to enquire if their memberships might be interested in attending.. as always I will let you know what feedback I get :-)
