Today is the last day I will be updating the threads until the day of the event.. I need to get the usual weekend things done and *try* to get my baby jag cleaned up and presentable for Sunday :-) .. On Sunday you need to track me down (Blue X-Type RN02CVS) for your itinerary sheet, dashboard info sheet and any freebies I can sort, when you arrive at Pease Pottage Service Station, or Madeira Drive - I can also then get a reasonably accurate idea of who has made it, might be late, or can't make it, for the forum writeup. Currently everyone looks to be good for the meet with just Candellara, Johnny1Jag, and Mark8 not sure they can actually make it on the day. The weather is supposed to be brightening up in time for Sunday so hopefully we will have a good day. Don't forget we have got Harwoods Jaguar attending, and part of the info I will be handing out is the code for the fixed price breakfast :-) I'll put up the latest and most current list of who is coming towards the end of today along with the itinerary - anyone else wanting to come along is welcome to post that they want to come, and I'll pick up the info on the day.... All the best Steve

For anyone considering coming along, but unsure whether to or not please come along and join the rest of us.. you know the itinery from further back in the thread.. it is a fantastic chance to put faces (and cars) to names from the forums, to meet everyone in a great location with the sea in front of you, the promenades as the backdrop.. Harwoods Jaguar will be in attendance, we have a great deal on food so you won't go hungry, there will be group photos etc for the forums, I am trying to get us into the local paper with photos, and last but by far the best thing is you will get to see a wide range of Jaguars, different models, engine capacities, and ages all in the one place.. other people there to advise you on any issues you may have with your Jaguar, you may well have tips for other owners.. it is going to be a great day out - a Jaguar sort of TopGear day! And that isn't all - we are also running a convoy down the A23 - a huge block of Jaguars travelling in convoy from Crawley to Brighton.. far enough for a convoy but not so far as to strain any classic Jaguars that may come along.. so if you are undecided please read through the thread, and maybe put your name forward for a great day out!

Please note Jaguars of ALL ages, and ALL models are very very welcome - the wider the range of models, and production years we can manage at the meet, the better.. so whether you have the latest, most loaded Jaguar model, or a classic, or an unusual model AND you are free on the 25th - why not put your name forward and come along? Your only costs will be parking (£10 for four hours or £15 for 12 hours), and a fixed price meal of breakfast or burger or fish plus tea or coffee for £5.00.. Harwoods Jaguar will be in attendance, we are looking at likely 30 or so in the convoy, and up to 50 or so of us in Madiera Drive making a statement - A Jaguar statement.. So why not put your name forward and join in.. everyone a Jaguar enthusiast, lots of knowhow, a chance to put faces and cars to names, enjoy a big breakfast, the sea air with the backdrop of the promenades, group photo's, and more..

Just to summarise for anyone who has just found this thread and is wondering whether to come along.. it is on the 25th May, 8:00am start at Pease Pottage Services, 9:00am start at Madeira Drive, Brighton - in the region of 30 Jaguars in convoy down to Brighton with a total of 40 or so attending the meet itself.. Jaguars from all walks of life, all levels of equipment and covering production from 1984 to the current date. V6, V8 and even V12 engines to hear, a wide range of models to look over, Harwoods Jaguar will be in attendance with a showroom F-Type, lots of knowledge and knowhow about Jaguars all in one place on one day.. a chance to meet the names you may have seen online, a chance to ask those questions you may have, or to answer other peoples questions, a social event starting in Brighton with a big breakfast... the weather is set to be up to 23 degrees with only a chance of light rain.. why not come along, join in and participate? Just put your name down on any of the several threads that are running or just email me directly at stephen.sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk - it's a free event, you just pay for your parking, and your big breakfast.. the parking is £10 for four hours or £15 for 12 hours, the big breakfast of breakfast or burger or fish meal plus tea or coffee will be just £5 fixed, and that's it... so why not put your name forward for what is to be a great day out for you and your car?

Ok I have checked the weather forecast and we should be looking at up to 23 degrees, a light 10mph breeze, and a chance of light showers - so we are hopefully guaranteed as good weather as we could expect on the day :-)

I've been having a chat with The Brighton & Hove Council Events team regarding next year - yes I told you I was ahead of myself grin, and I have a couple of options for next year I am mulling over, along with pricings.. we can only book Madiera Drive if we have 100+ cars, and not on a bank holiday weekend *or* we can prebook a block of parking bays, which can be done for any day of the year. I will talk to Jaguar about this and see if they are prepared to assist us as the amounts are such that we would need sponsorship to cover them.. I'll update you if I get any feedback - meanwhile if you haven't put your name down for this years meet - why not? If you are free, and at a loose end maybe on the 25th, why not put your name forward and come along and join us.. we have Jaguars (like mine) which are typical workhorses right through to showroom Jaguars, through to Jaguar Supercars all coming along on the day.. so why not put your name forward? You can put your name forward at pistonheads.com , jaguarforums.com , jaguarforum.co.uk , or jaguarownersclub.com and I'll add you in.. If you are not a member of any of the four forums why not join up, or just email me directly at stephen.sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk and I will add you in that way..

IT'S HAPPENING THIS WEEK! For anyone considering coming along, but unsure whether to or not please come along and join the rest of us.. you know the itinery from further back in the thread.. it is a fantastic chance to put faces (and cars) to names from the forums, to meet everyone in a great location with the sea in front of you, the promenades as the backdrop.. Harwoods Jaguar will be in attendance, we have a great deal on food so you won't go hungry, there will be group photos etc for the forums, I am trying to get us into the local paper with photos, and last but by far the best thing is you will get to see a wide range of Jaguars, different models, engine capacities, and ages all in the one place.. other people there to advise you on any issues you may have with your Jaguar, you may well have tips for other owners.. it is going to be a great day out - a Jaguar sort of TopGear day! And that isn't all - we are also running a convoy down the A23 - a huge block of Jaguars travelling in convoy from Crawley to Brighton.. far enough for a convoy but not so far as to strain any classic Jaguars that may come along.. so if you are undecided please read through the thread, and maybe put your name forward for a great day out!

Remember that as long as you can get to Pease Pottage Services.. even if your Jag is off the road due to an unforseen problem we'll do our best to still get you to the meet and back Anyone needing a seat on the day please let me know

Hi Steve, I will get you added in... the initial meet should be 8am on the 25th at Pease Pottage Services - please keep an eye out next week for the final itinery appearing on the threads, and I'll ensure I've got an info pack waiting for you on the day :-) Just in case - on the day look for a dk blue 2.5 X-Type Saloon RN02CVS, and once spotted you will have found me :-)

Tomorrow (Friday) is my birthday (I'm losing track as the years go by :-)) sooo I will likely be off the forums Friday, Saturday, and Sunday having some family time before the last few days of preparation for the meet.. so where you can post to the forums over the weekend, if anything needs my input it will not be actioned until Monday I'm afraid. I will be monitoring my email stephen.sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk though so if it is something urgent or pressing please feel free to drop me an email over the period.. I will be back on top of things on Monday though I promise :-)

No problem Steve, I will happily add you to the list of attendees.. Are you planning on the convoy and meet, or just the meet itself? Additionally - which car will you likely be bringing, or maybe both? I could also do with knowing the year(s) of the car(s) and if you will be bringing anyone with you... Many thanks All the best Steve

OK a couple of the last few touches - we should be appearing at Whats on at Madeira Drive Brighton and on the general events page at whatson.brighton.co.uk in the next few hours which may well help with getting more public awareness of our event. Additionally also at welovebrighton.com I am still chasing The Brighton Argus to no avail, but am hopeful I can get them to attend for some more coverage..
