Excuse me for not having been kept up to date on this thread as I have been away, but is there a convoy arranged for those travelling from the South/Midlands? If so when and where?

Welcome back mate

Are you travelling up and back the same day mate? If so and I can make it then I'll convoy with you.

Hello matey think some of us are meeting at Stafford services again as Lexusis200Sam's coming up from MK and theres Myself, Lee_iceman and WylieCoyote so far not sure what time though mate?
Chris....

i dont mind meeting up with you northampton chaps first then going on to the m6 services to meet the rest.

Hey all,

Had a few photos taken today for the show... Two cars, one owned by AIS Imports (Scoobaru) and the other by Ultralite ('Liner) came down for a quick 'shoot. The photos are being published in local newspapers:



Cheers,
Jamie

Nice pics i guess its getting close now.

Sounds good mate. Meet up the M1? Watford gap Services? Or whichever it is.

yeah that sound great adie,we can plan a time when we know the time the others are getting to the m6 services. do we know what time people are meeting on the m6 yet?

Unfortunately I definately can't make this meet now I'm at Anfield for the Chelsea game which I thought was on Saturday but its the Sunday. Gutted..

Have a good time anyway guys and take lots of pics

If the convoy gets big enuff, can some people get some snaps or footage to upload to the site, its always nice to see peoples journeys, especially those making the extra effort to travel all the way up here, when people like me only have a 10 minute drive

il have my camera on the day so il have some pics to post up

Anyone going to be heading over via the M62 from leeds way?

Hi All

Sorry to be a pain, but I have pm'd Jamie via the mlr, but not had any reply.

We are a small forum called lancer-evo.net and there are a few of our members who would like to attend this show.

Can you let me know if we are ok to come or not, as I know it's short notice.

But I don't want half a dozen of our members travelling to Wigan and finding out they can't get it.

As we all know evo's are not the best on fuel consumption.

It would be great if you could squeeze us in.

Thanks

Kat

Edited to say, hubby has just told me jamie has replied. I will get onto names and numbers for you now mate.

Thanks again for letting us come at such sort notice.

i recon it would be fine for you guys to jut turn up to visit the show but if you wanted an area for your cars you really would have to speak to Jamie as its his puppy.

Looks like I can make this now. Put me on the list!

Just a question - if we've gotta be there from 9.30am until 4.30pm will there be places to get some grub?

Kat - no problems, as mentioned in the message, just let me know the requested details ASAP.

Moffet - can't wait to meet up again fella Love the exhaust system on yours

All the best,
Jamie

Just thought I'd let you know that I'm off to the local radio stations now to do some live broadcasting and interviews for the show.

I'm sure all will go well, but will let you know the outcome.

Regards,
Jamie

Good luck Jamie sure it'll go well

Don't forget to shout out to the LOC

lol wish i could of tuned in for a listen, but im sure your report on here will be just as good! lol

Jamie

got some more people over at MRC interested - can they make it onto the club stand ?????????

Cheers

Stu / Grinder

Certainly amigo, just post the details over on MRC and I'll be over there shortly - either tonight or tomorrow.

Just out of curiosity, how many extra?

Thanks,
Jamie

Jamie, i won't be able to come all day, so i'll just park in the public carpark and walk over to the LOC stand. Also means i don't need to wash the car

We have to wash our cars?

[/quote]We have to wash our cars? [/quote]

Looking forward to seeing you again Bobby. My car has gone through quite a few changes since the last time we met. Only have standard bits on top of the wardrobe now

Some stupid woman just reversed into my car as I was filling it up at the petrol station , so I'll be unable to make the event

Making the most of Friday nite as we are setting off at 3am Sunday morning to be there, it will be worth it......now where's that bottle of wine

Look forward to meeting the troops

Bobby

Hey Jamie...

You've not added my name to the list yet. I've just been reading the requirements and you've said if your name's not down you're not coming in! I've also got all the required info on my registration plates so does that mean I don't need to put it in the window?

@Sam - shame you're not going to be there mate. Was looking forward to meeting you and seeing your new under-bonnet toy!

Good afternoon everyone,

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS...

Here are the rules and regulations for the day - if these are adhered to, the event will go brilliantly and no doubt we won't be refused the opportunity to use this venue again next year!


Firstly...

Requirements

You will be required to have in your windscreen on arrival:
1. Club Name
2. Forum Name
3. Registration Plate Number

Failure to have these details will result in the vehicle not being able to enter the event area for display on your club stand.

Times:

Entry to the venue for owners clubs and companies will begin at 07:30AM and end at 09:30AM. Cars after this time will not be able to access the stands.
This is according to Haigh Hall Country Park's Health & Safety, as the venue is open to the public and so we must gather and arrange all cars by 09:30AM in preparation for opening.

The event will officially be open from 10:00AM to the public and this is when all cars will be in situe by.
The event will be closing at 16:30 and all cars MUST be cleared by 18:00.


Rubbish:

Basically, I have been told that if any rubbish is left at the end of the day, it will be picked by the park rangers and there WILL BE A CHARGE FOR THIS.
PLEASE collect ALL your rubbish, it's not a large favour to ask and this all contributes to being able to use the venue next time around.
If rubbish is left, the charge incurred will have to be passed onto your club.

Marshals:

Marshals will be located at the entrance to Haigh Country Park, along the driveway to Haigh Hall and at the event site to control and assist with parking of exhibition vehicles. Please conform to their directions.

Drivers are asked not to exceed 10MPH whilst you are within the grounds of Haigh Hall.

On arrival at the event site, your vehcile will be checked off from a list, according to your FORUM NAME, CLUB NAME AND REGISTRATION PLATE NUMBER.


The Day:

Once parked and arranged suitably, drivers are asked not to move their vehicle again until the close of the event at 16:30.

Should there be a need for a vehicle to be moved during the event, you MUST seek the assistance of one of the event marshals. Should you refuse to wait for assistance prior to moving the vehicle, a signature will be required on the Health and Safety Waiver Form and the matter reported to Event Control, along with your vehicle details.

Everyone should be aware of Health & Safety issues and bring any concerns to the attention of the event organisers, which may be found at the Lexus Owners Club stand and also wearing high visibility vests.

At the end of the day, the event marshals will supervise the orderly exit of exhibitors from Haigh Hall Country Park.

Please note: All members that have voiced interest in attending the day have been compiled into a list. This list will be passed onto event marshals, who will ensure that only cars belonging to members of the list may enter the venue for display on their club stand.

Above all, have a safe and enjoyable day and thank you for attending our first Japan North Car Event! Here's to many more...

Regards,
Jamie

I'm sure it will be a great meet.

Well done Jamie !

Hi there all,

When you make your way to the show tomorrow, please be aware that there are a few other shows on called Haigh Show, around the area that we are having ours.

Please look for the Japan North Logo below:



If you do not see this, then the sign you have seen is not for the car show.

Also, Haigh Hall have a Sunday Carvery, which is on until 4pm tomorrow, so you could always book onto that tomorrow for some tea before leaving if you wished.

All the best and I look forward to meeting you...

Best regards,
Jamie
