[quote]An email has gone out this evening containing the following information. If you do not receive it please let me know and I will check my database. I must thank everyone for their patience and understanding and hope the changes have made it worthwhile. I know some clubs have a clash with this date and hope that we will see you in 2010. The date change thing is to try and get better weather and, certainly for 2008, it seems to have worked.

There will be an organisers meet but details of that nearer the time.

Thank you
John



Well, what can I say? After some delays waaaay beyond my control we at last have not only an exciting new venue but have stuck with the show being late in the Summer. Well, after the fantastic weather in 2008 what else could we do?

The date wont be to everyone’s liking and I apologise that some clubs will probably already have things arranged that clash. But let’s hope the new venue is even better than last year – if that’s possible! – and that everyone will want to stay with the new venue and enjoy another fantastic JAE.

We have taken all the good things from 2008 and kept them but have now added even more for you to do! If we can keep the weather (minus the midges) we should have a really great show.

The date is now Friday 11 September to Sunday 13 September with Thursday open for clubs who want to get there early and set up. Thursday will be an all ticket affair however to prevent too many gatecrashers and let the club people do their thing and get everything organised. By the way the 10th is my birthday so make sure you bring lots of presents if you’re coming early! J

The venue is now Wicksteed Park, after M.I. and another venue found they could not accommodate us. Wicksteed is a fantastic venue and has a lot to offer (http://www.wicksteedpark.co.uk/default.aspx):

* Lake
* Go-kart oval
* Fully stocked fishing lake
* Fairground
* Roller coaster
* 18 hole crazy golf
* Putting green
* Playground for younger children


Add to that all the things we have arranged for you:

* Five-a-side football
* Tug of War
* It’s a knockout competition
* Easing competition
* Karaoke
* Band
* Disco
* New and much bigger show n shine!


Then add the new stuff that we are still working on and this promises to take JAE to yet another level!

Booking forms will be available on line very soon and will be emailed out to you. But until then just get it in your diary, book the time off work and start organising your club stands![/quote]

And for anyone going on the Thursday there's this:

Be good to see your motor again Sam And yourself of course

Well Toyota GT have nicked my car already for that weekend to put on their stand so it will be there!!!!
With luck I will also be there also, work depending.

Pah you should be with the LOC crew!!

This is possibly the best venue since the EoE showground when i move in april i will only be 10min drive from wikki which by my calculations is about an hour and a half drunken stumble

I don't know if I can make it, due to work etc.... So at least my IS200 will get there on auto pilot!!

James did ask very nicely!!

Camping arrangements will be the same as last year ie. a camping area adjacent to the club stand.
