Jae 2005
 

Hi guys

Just received this email from Claire at JAE, thought I'd post it for everyone's benifit:

Subject: JAE 2005
Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2004 19:18:47 -0000

I hope this email finds you well and you are looking forward to the festive season and 2005! With 2005 comes JAE...bigger and better!

The letters, questionnaires and e-mails we received following JAE 2004 have proved extremely valuable but I do not propose in going into detail again. However, a couple of the key points were:

Numbers for 2004 were up 50% on the previous year with over 15,000 people attending over the whole weekend. This is a fantastic result and we hope everyone had a great time. However, it did leave us with problems in terms of food stalls and in the amount of space available for camping.
Billing Aquadrome did make an effort to keep the toilets in full working order and open shower blocks earlier. Litter was cleared away and 24-hour security was better than previous years. However, they too were caught out with the numbers and are at the very limit of their capabilities.

All the positive and negative feedback has been reviewed and researched for 2005. The Organisation have had numerous meetings with Billing and other venues. It has been decided that Japanese Auto Extravaganza will be moved to The East of England Showground, which is only about 20miles from Billing Aquadrome.

The Organisation's rationale behind this move is:

The capacity of JAE is now overwhelming for Billing Aquadrome
Lack of support in Marshalling and Security
Too much reliance on Billing Aquadrome means insufficient control for JAE

With the above in mind, JAE 2005 will have a new venue, The East of England Showground. This is a secured venue, large enough to hold ALL car clubs/traders and have a designated camping areas. The area that is dedicated to JAE is flat, grassed and with some hard standing areas. There is a speedway track with grandstand. There will be three main gates for entry and exit which have been split into Clubs, Traders and Public. Public parking will be in the general carpark. This reduces any chance that they park on clubs or traders stands. With the space provided by the new showground we can significantly increase the space allocated to all the cars. that means the squeeze of recent years will now be a thing of the past.

More details of the above will be sent to you in the new year in the JAE brochure that will have all the details of the show, booking forms and Terms and Conditions.

It is important that your Club is aware of these changes as soon as possible, so please communicate this information. If you have any questions about the change in venue please contact Claire Williams (Clubs) John Fuggles (Traders)

Billing Aquadrome were in agreement with The Organisation, that JAE's capacity had exceeded Billing capabilities. However, the relationship is strong with Billing and other events are already being arranged there.

The Organisation are developing a brochure which will be sent out in the new year, more updates to follow. Please check the JAE website for further info.

Phil. (the other one !!)

I liked that Billings place. It had a lot of things about of interest.

Hope this East of England Showground has enough security on hand to eject those thugs flying around on small motorcycles. That was the only downer for me.

Joe

The only one :rolleyes:

Phone call from Claire.......
 

Ok guys, I've just had a call from Claire at JAE following up the email.

She said they have now confirmed JAE 2005 will be held 22nd to 24th July 2005 at the East of England Showground, Peterborough.

She also said that to address some of the issues from last year there would be :

Separate entrances and exits for : Car clubs, Traders, and General public. So that's three separate entrances and exits all weekend. Traders entrance/exit will only be open certain times of the day.

General public parking will be outside the event, the public will all enter on foot.

They are planning to have a wider selection of catering available this year.

They are planning to revive the japanese auto-jumble which was held at previous JAE events.

They are planning to have a site "radio" station via PA all weekend to inform and entertain during the day.

Claire is contacting a wider range of clubs, specifically targeting some of the clubs who have attended previous events, but missed out last year.

As a review of last years event there were :

approx. 3,500~4,000 cars on display.

Total of 15,000 visitors over the weekend, over 7,500 on Saturday alone.

So get the date in your diary, and hope to see you all there.

P.S. Joe (or any other mods) Could this Thread be made "sticky" to the top of the forum so we can all find it between now and then !!

See what I can do Phil.

:D

JAE 2005
 

Please excuse my ignorance, JAE? What is it, I'm quite new to this, I take it is a meet of some kind,surely not just SVX's, Cant be enough of them in the country

Japanese Auto Extravaganza
 

Check out last year's thread.

We had a great time at it.

http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...threadid=15600

You should come along this year if you fancy a bit of crack.

I'm opening a book on the odds of James having an SVX by the time the show comes around.

Any takers??

;) :D :D :D

Joe:)

JAE 2005
 

Unless anything out of the ordinary occurs,I will be there,I'm looking forward to it.
When i bought this car, I did'nt realise what i was buying into regarding the comerarderie, I new nothing about the SVX network but what a great bunch you all seem, always ready with handy hints on what to do and how to do it, Only too happy to join the club

Re: Japanese Auto Extravaganza
 

Please don't tempt me!!

*retreats to corner and rocks back and forth..."must resist, must resist"*

:D

The debil makes you do it!!
 

Aw c'mon James, be tempted.

You know you want to.:D

I am hoping my Black Betty will look a little bit better than she did for the last JDM.

Maybe even arrive under her own steam!:D

Joe:)

Seems to me I can make a week off and spend it in the UK:-).
Is it possible to rent a Subaru to be in right color?:-) Prefer AT after bad experince with manual together with steering wheel on the right side during my last holydays in Cyprus:-).
BTW My SVX is back on the road with rebuild engine, this car still has someting to tell. I spent with my friend's STi couple weekends and besides a lot of adrenalin it has noting to tell (me). After two months I sit into SVX and I am still impressed like a first time. I had no other car that impressed me so much (and cost me so much money)
Petr

Sure Petr,

Do come if you can. You could no doubt rent a Subaru.

But they're not that picky. They let me on the SVX site with a Mazda pick-up.:rolleyes: :D

Don't need an Sti to trump that!

Joe:)

Thanks Phil.

What size did we take last year? Roughly even?

My advice, reserve plenty of space.

If people would like, I can set up another sticky thread, and everyone who is going can log in so we can estimate final numbers.

[Only for Yes I am going/No I can't go posts.]

This thread remains the discussion mechanism.

Joe:)

Update...........
 

A quick update, I've just received the booking forms from Claire for this year's event. I will need to gauge interest the same as last year to confirm the number of car places on the stand.

The prices look similar to last year: Club stand size awarded on "per car" basis at £1 per car for the whole weekend. I can't remember if I booked for 8 or 10 cars last year, I've checked last years thread and it says 8, so I guess it was 8.

Actual show prices are also similar: £10 per car per day, £15 per car for camping the two days.

So please show your interest ladies and gents, and I will book the stand.

Best regards

Phil.

ME
 

Count me in.

Looking forward to it already.

Expect to have my engine swap done on the TT Legacy by end of March. After that it's open season on sorting the black SVX car.

Will probably only have the engine swap done by summer. Unlikely I will have the supercharger mods started.

You never know though.;) :D

Joe:)

Am I allowed to join in?:(

Sure.:D

Now where can we hide that Skyline?

;) :p

I can bring a sheet to cover it or an SVX carboard cut-out to disguise it!:D

Bands have 'guest appearances', so I could be 'the surprise guest'!!

OK.

You can be either Ziggy Stardust, or Ozzie Osbourne.

And dress accordingly.

:)

That's helluvan entry cost just cos I left the fold!

I was thinking of a few bottles of beer as penitence....

Don't worry Tony, I might be trying to sneak in the back door too, as the Forester boys aren't interested in a stand.

OK.

With beer, we can leave off Ziggy because of the cost of makeup.

:rolleyes: :D

Well, if Andy is there, we may make a separate clique....

Click clique
 

The Excessives we can call you.

As in XS, geddit.

XSVX owners club.

:p :D

X-Men ??
 

I guess everyone is welcome, so long as the ex's don't out-number the SVX's..........

I'll check with Claire that we can still "camp" on the stand, so if there are others than Angie and I who are "pitching up" we can all stay on our stand. Good idea ??

Any of our continental europeans going to join us ?? Tone ?? Nobody ??

Keep the interest coming and I'll make the necessary bookings.

Phil.

I'll attend on Saturday.

Arthur

Hi there,
looks that I will be there! I spoke with my Subaru friends (1x STI, 2x Forester) and it seems we can make a men's trip to attend it:-)
Hope Tone (Paulo) from Portugal will be there too. BTW Tone, Zdenek bought nice STI and selling his Honda superbike. That is interesting that guy who spent half life with superbikes is buying STI (now tuned up over 300HPs) and is so surprised by its behavior ...
Peter

Delighted to hear you are coming Petr, and looking forward to meeting you.

Just bought an engine for Black Betty this morning. Currently organising a way to get it to Ireland. With luck, I will have time to install it for the JAE.

Joe

Standby for Action........
 

Ok everyone, I've booked us a stand at JAE2005. I put a request for a 10 car (yes that's 10 car !!) stand in the post today with the requesite payment (it's not that bad, only £1 per car for the weekend, so a tenner !!)

I will let you know when I get confirmation from Claire that we have our plot. Don't be letting me down by not coming !!

Time to start getting stocks of beer and food started, checking out the tent if your camping, booking the hotel if your not !! You know it makes sense, mark the date in your diary.

Looking forward to it already.

Phil.

Only 10?
 

Won't be long filling that.

Currently I have 4 Subarus, but with the cost of ferries.......

:D

Recap:
Currently these are the people coming. If I have missed anyone, please shout.

Tony [Excessive member]
Andy ["]
Phil & Angie SVX
Arthur [Saturday] SVX
Petr [Hired hooligan tool] [and friends, very welcome]
Numbnuts SVX
Joe SVX
Graham Supercharged SVX

Other possibles who have not confirmed would be Phil & Belha, John from the wilds of Scotland, both SVXs, and James and Cassie, who are probably coming in a Camry. :rolleyes: :D
Would be great if Paulo could transpor'er from Porto. :rolleyes: It's a long way to come, but a yellow car would turn some heads for sure, be great if he could join us.

There are other people who were on previous meets, so we will try to contact them.

Anyone who is thinking of coming, but didn't let us know yet, please speak up so we can organise for the numbers. As Phil Hill says;

"You know you want to"

:D :D

Keep us on the not-sure pile for now. There's a good chance that one or both of us may be overseas, but we'll make it if we can.

Phil & Belha.

I will try to be there and this time be able to spend some time with you guys (sorry that we had to leave early last year)

I am looking intently for a 4cyl auto Camry to relive the good old SVX pursuit days especially for JAE!!

:p

State of the Union
 

I mean play.

Revised list, starting with possible or probable SVXs.

Arthur, Polo Green SVX, Saturday. So long as he brings the cool box. :)
Phil & Angie, Mica Black SVX, presumed Sat & Sun [and Friday, Phil?]
Phil & Belha, Claret SVX. Sat & Sun, but not 100% sure both will attend.
Numbnuts, Silver SVX. Both days?
Joe & John, Mica Black SVX, Sat & Sun. If ready in time. Otherwise Legacy
John Blueji, Metallic Grey SVX, Sat & Sun? To spoil, or not to spoil, that is .....
Ricky Waltman, Pearlie SVX, Sat & Sun.
Graham, Pearlie SVX. Sat & Sun Graham? Only SUPERCHARGED and 5 sp.

And other non-svx possibles:

Tony, Skyline, hidden round the back
Andy, Forester Turbo, round the back, but at least it's a Soobie
Henry Devine, JDM Forester Turbo. Mean and blacked out. The car too.
Petr, Hired Pretzel. We don't mind.
James & Cassie, Hired Camry auto. Looking to sit in everyone's car no doubt. Lock up your stereos.

That's it at present. We might have to divide the stand in two. Real cars and miscellaneous JDMery.

This week, we must contact all those we have had in the past. Phil H, can you contact me so we can draw up a full list, and do an email round robin, set off all the spam filters and stuff. :rolleyes: :)

Joe :D

SVX Club banner
 

Hi all,

Just to remind you that I have the SVX banner. I am still intending to come (even if I am round the back!!) but Sat & Sun only. Do you need the banner before that? If so, I'll get it in the post. Let me know when and who wants it!

Pray for sunshine again.....

hello there
my son told me about jae he is going with the mx5 club
would i be able to join in with you gents?

JAE Update !!
 

Hi everyone

Latest missive from Clarie at "The Organisation" about JAE :

Subject: Fw: JAE Update
Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 14:36:13 +0100


Hi,

Please find attached the current layout for JAE 2005. Please note this is subject to change but we will try not to make any alterations to those clubs that have already reserved a plot. You will see from the plot we have circled around the arena to keep clubs as close to the action as possible and have provided ample camping space. This is in addition to those wishing to camp on their own club plot. Now that we have more space to work with you will see, when you get to JAE, that we have increased the amount of space per car by 30%! We hope you approve.

In addition to the layout I have attached a booking form for an electrical supply. Please note these must be received with payment in full no later than Friday 15 July. I appreciate this is a duplicate of a lot of the information you have given already but we need this to pass on to the electrician.

As far as 'evening entertainment' goes please bear in mind we are adjacent a residential area and your cooperation in turning down the volumes of any systems at a reasonable time would be greatly appreciated. Lets make this a great event for everyone at JAE and for the local residents, please.

From the plan you will see there are two bars. These will be open from 11am until 5pm on Saturday and Sunday and will be open from 7pm until 11pm on Saturday only. The general public will be required to leave the site by 6pm so we hope we can rely on your cooperation to enforce this and we hope the two hour break in bar service makes this easier to enforce. There will be no bar on Friday night, so you'll have to bring your own. The bar will have an off-sales service of cans and bottles. Please make the best use of this as it prevents multiple trips to the local supermarkets.

In addition to the bar there is a restaurant which can cope for about 100 covers at any one time. Saturday night will be a curry night, Friday is yet to be determined. Once we have the full menus we will post them on the www.japcarclub.com/jae forum. If you want to reserve a table please contact Jacqui Wheatley at the East of England Showground. Jacqui can be contacted on 01733 234451 or at jwheatley@eastofengland.org.uk

Please note whilst we are happy for you to promote your club to all visitors we have a strict 'no flyers policy'. This is to prevent litter. On that matter, we will be giving each club some sacks during the day to help keep the place tidy. There will be regular litter picks but we need your help to clear up your club stand. Don't forget there is a competition for the best Car Club. Whilst this does include layout and presentation it also includes all other elements, such as safety, cleanliness, friendliness etc.

Saturday evening will see a Flame-out competition. There will be two classes. Assisted and Normally aspirated. If your members are interested in competing they will need to complete a form and hand it in on the evening. A copy of the form is attached.

Sunday morning, just to blow the cob-webs away will see the return of the Japcarclubs Tug o War. We already have a list of teams but, if you haven't entered one yet please let us know. Rules will be clarified nearer the event. As with all competitions it will finish with the usual fountain of champagne for the winners.

If you are interested in helping with any of the events please let us know. As well as the events listed above we have a Show n Shine competition. If your members are interested in helping with the marshalling or judging we could do with it. Anyone helping will receive a VIP pass for JAE, giving them free entry to the show.

Other information such as opening times for the gates, list of food stalls, agenda for the two days and other information will be posted shortly.

If you need hotels locally we have agreed a discount with some and these can be found here: http://www.infotel.co.uk/ratecard/ra...?id=RC_JAE2005

In the meantime please note the receipts sent to you are INCLUSIVE of VAT. For your records The Organisation (marketing and events) Limited VAT number is 850 9586 91

I have uploaded the Layout plan into my locker, but in summary we are placed near the entrance to the club area again. This time we are adjacent to SIDI and Scooby City, and near to the Skyline and JDM Owners, so if Tony want's to park his Skyline there but hang-out with us.............

In terms of who can come, all are welcome, in fact the more the merrier !! Please see my original and earlier posts for details. Tony, If you want to mail the banner back to me that's fine, or we can arrange a pickup sometime.

I need to start drawing up a list of likely attendees soon, so please re-confirm your diary/consult your "social secretary" and let me know.

Hi K70NW !! Everyone is welcome to join in, please see the earlier posts for costs etc. Be pleased to see you there.

Hi How does one Join everyone on the stand at jAE who do i pay
do `I have to book in advance, where do I get wrist bands to get in
the site. I will be there from Friday until Sunday, my son is camping
and is on the MX5 stand, I'm the camping equipment transport of course.
Norman

Norman (and everyone else !!)

If it's similar to last year it's easy, I'll check with Claire to confirm.

Basically if you arrive at the showground on Friday evening you pay to gain entry to the site. If you are intending to stay all weekend and camp it'll cost you £15 for the whole weekend. You will get id bands or what-ever at that point. Then someone should (!) ask you which club you are from and direct you to the stand. This is where it all went a bit pear-shaped last year as we had to find the stand ourselves, in the dark !! But it had a little sign on it saying "SVX World Network" so no worries.

Last year we camped on the stand, although it looks like this isn't the prefered option this year, but I'll check with Claire. The detail on "the organisation" forum pages state it's ok to camp on the stand, but they expect tentage to be down and off-stand by 9am each day, so obviously they want to keep camping to the camping areas not on the stands. Checking the map it seems that there is a camping area directly behind "our" stand so we should be able to camp there...........

For daily entants, just arrive at the Club entrance (will be separate to general public entrance), pay your day's entry and tell them which club. Again someone *should* direct you to the stand.........

Next item to discuss is equipment and provisions. Last year we had a nice little gazebo brought by Tony, and some tables/camping chairs etc. It would be good if we could get something like this again for the stand. We need to start thinking about provisions.......... Last year we all kinda pitched in with stuff, which was good. Do we need to be any more organised this year, or shall we just go with the flow again ?? Your thoughts please..........

Another point from "the rules", for those who intend to cook on-site any form of Barbeque or fire must be kept off the ground this year. So disposable barbees must have some sort of frame to keep them off the ground.

Just keeps on coming don't it !!

Phil.

Peterborough
 

I would like to day trip on Saturday or Sunday

Who wants what money where and when?

Michael

Incidentally, have just stripped my 93 donor, and binned the shell, so have odd sorts of non gearbox/engine bits.
