Hi all, So, with JAE only a few weeks away, it’s probably time I get this FAQ thing sorted! Please keep an eye on this thread, as I’ll be updating it as I think of things! The event itself is being held 12th-15th September at Wicksteed Park in Northamptonshire. If you’re unsure how to get there, more information is available on their website here: http://www.wicksteedpark.co.uk/ Although event opening time is 3pm on the Thursday, I’d appreciate it if people could hold off until after 6pm, unless I’ve been in contact with you about helping to set up. We’ll need time to get everything tidy, and it’s much easier and safer this way. Before I go link crazy, please do familiarise yourself with their safety notices: http://www.japcarclub.com/club-information/club-safety/ Generally most people are getting involved with the big barbeque, but for the few that aren’t it’s worth noting that barbequeue’s are not allowed near the tents. There are also event rules about separation between tents and cars, so please be prepared to take some direction on this when you arrive at the stand. Basically, once you’ve set up camp, I’d like cars moved to a designated area on the stand. If you want any more general event info, the actual JAE website itself is very good, and can be found here: http://www.japcarclub.com/ We’re positioned in Okayama. For those who have been before, as I understand it, we’re a field further down from where we were last year. Map of the general layout here: http://www.japcarclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/JAE-trade-area-map.jpg The Okayama map is as follows: http://www.japcarclub.com/okayama/ Cells S1, S2, T1, T2, U1, U2, V1, W1 and X1 are allocated to us, and the marquee is going in U1. I'm all likelihood I'd like tents in X1, W1 and V1, and cars on the other side, but please be ready to follow my directions when you arrive. Shower and toilet facilities at the venue are very good by the way, but note that towels and toiletries are not being provided by the club! So, for the slightly more interesting bit! I’'ve posted tickets now for everyone who is getting their's posted, and provided tracking references. Anyone else is a give in person but I've been in touch individually about this. Do not lose these tickets! When you arrive, please come and see me for your wrist band. You will need to keep it on all weekend. In case you don’t know me, ask for Adi. My Supra is silver and facelift, vrn. B10 WKD if that helps! If you’ve purchased the £60 ticket, your food and drink for the weekend should be covered. In terms of alcohol there will be some kind of beer, some kind of cider, and some kind of wine. Various soft drinks etc too. If you want to bring anything more personal please feel free. The BBQ will be going at various points over the weekend, and we're also having Chili on the Friday night, and something pasta-y on the Saturday night. There are however a few bits and pieces you’ll need to bring with you as follows: -Tent/sleeping gear -Chair - Bowl/Plate - Knife/Fork/Spoon - Mug - Something to keep you warm at night (trust me, it's going to be cold at night!!) I’ll make sure everyone has my mobile number in case they need to get hold of me. If I don't have yours, please pm it to me. That's about it for now... so most of all… Enjoy!

I was sorry to hear that last night too Alex The walk in Fridge donation ticket is updated in the club shop now guys by the way... muchos appreciated for any help on this! Link here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?224835-Online-Shop I'll be doing a JAE FAQ thread do's, don'ts etc over the next few days, so please keep an eye out

Thanks for the offers of donations to the Fridge guys, it makes life a lot easier! I've asked for a walk in Fridge donation ticket to be added to the club shop, so I'll pop a link up as soon as

Well, I'm gonna say it! Do people mind chipping in a bit extra for the walk in Fridge? It would have been do-able with the right number but as I'm not completely confident on the food and drink budget it would make life much easier! No pressure but Ill pop a pm around about it tonight.

that's fine mate, probably catch up with you at the next BW anyway? Mark... I need to get hold of Malcolm but I am liking your idea!

Right, first post updated to separate the (updated) paid list, and a now wish list. Ticket order has gone in with the event. We'll do one more if necessary but it's getting very close to having to impose a cut off (at which point food and drink only tickets will be available, and people will be on their own in sorting the show entry bit!!)

Malcolm, can't believe your voicemail buddy! Let me do the maths later and ill be in touch. whatever happens, You're a legend!!

Thanks mate. Ill get the paid list updated when I get in from work. Puuuuuussshhh for the others.... I'm juggling the lists tonight so if you wanna come, please pay!!

Pm'd Available funds were greater last year Clay, plus we had more paid up than actually showed. I'm gonna try to come to a deal to rent out some of the fridge space to another club but its all very tight! We will have fridges just might not be the big one! Malcolm just text you mate.

^ That. Paid list updated btw. REALLY REALLY need to know who's definite for payments now if you haven't already please. Ticket order is going in tonight!!

Thanks Babe. I'll be in touch about entry times and helpers within the next few days. Final few things to sort now. I'll get the paid list updated as soon as I've had confirmation. Vegetarianism not a problem

Paid list updated. I'm intending to order the show tickets on Friday, so if you want to come, I'd really appreciate it if you could pay before then. Anything afterwards is cutting it quite fine as we're now only a month away! As before, if your name is on the list and you can't make it, please let me know.

Nice one Mark, glad you can make it! Paid list updated. Come on everyone else, I need to get the tickets ordered within the next few days

Been meaning to call you mate, sorry! Crazy few days but settling down now! Ok to speak now?

Yay!! Very glad you can make it Chris! I'll get the paid list updated as soon as I've had confirmation from Steve

Thanks Tom. Just following your lead really; hard act to follow! I bought some lasers for the marquee the other day; can't wait to see what that's gonna look like

Bump If your name is on the list, and you're definitely not coming, please let me know!

No deadline as such, but to be honest I really need to get things sorted within the next few days if at all possible.

You know JAE makes sense! Come on guys

Lovely, thank you! I'll pop you a call when I get back from shopping Come on everyone else, I really need to get tickets purchases so I can start posting out soon. Get your payments in please

I paid for the stand booking myself, so I'm hoping to equalise this out against a couple of tickets Dane... tickets available in the club shop mate, pay by paypal please. Mk4Gaz - pm me please. It'll be easier! Clay - got your message on fb can you send me your number please and I'll call you.

So... paid list updated. Confirmed attendees now in bold too (which should make things easier). 26 so far confirmed, so keep them coming guys! People I'd like to see coming who haven't paid up yet (please don't be offended if I've missed you off this list): 5. thetrashcanman 7. DreamScape36 (I know you're trying to sort this from the text mate... you NEED to be there ) 9. The Havards (subject to childcare) (understand if you can't make it though hoping you can) 11. JPow (are you paying me Friday night??) 12. Markssupra (no excuses... you and the lad need to be there. We'll even put up with the midship!) 15. Clay (paying me Friday night? Is your brother joining us?) 19. dodec "j" 20. ellis 28. add heywood (maybe) 32. Littler and most importantly!! 38. Burna (you better be there!! Our Saturday night walkabout was my second favourite night time wander of the event last year!)

Unfortunately, you can't park on the club stand for just the Saturday. Their rules I'm afraid, not mine. Just the Sunday is fine though. Pretty sure there's a jap car area within the show for day visitors if that helps. I seriously wouldn't worry about being the new boy... I far from know everyone, and the trick is to just throw yourself in to it! Yes!!!! Amaze!! Dane... are you gonna camp with us guys?

Oh, that's ok then The September one! No dropping out ok!

Bump to this thread, and a link to the main one here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?291011-JAE-2013-Interest-Thread-URGENT! would be good to see more names down, especially with no Supra Pod this year!
