FAQ thread now up here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?312418-JAE-2014-FAQ-s-General-information-thread-Please-read-carefully!

Hi all, So, with JAE happening next week, 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 4th-7th 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 5pm, 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/ 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/ The club is located in Okayama, and we've been allocated X4, X5, Y4 and Y5 as per this map: [EDIT] - NOT ANYMORE - We're now in Suzuka Since we've had some latecomers I've agreed with the event organiser we can spill over to the squares behind. This area is highlighted in red. To confirm what you can see: Pink: The marquee Orange: Callaway Motorsport Blue: BBQ, generator, walk in fridge Essentially I'd like tents in X4 and Y4 and cars in X5 and Y5 (I'll be asking for cars to be arranged properly at some point on Friday!) There are event rules about separation between tents and cars, so please do not just pitch your tent anywhere, and be prepared to take some direction on this when you arrive at the stand. I'm not being difficult, it will just save a lot of aggro in th long run! Once you’ve set up camp, I’d like cars moved to a designated area on the stand that I'll tell you about. 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. Shower and toilet facilities at the venue are very good, but note that towels and toiletries are not being provided by the club! All ticket allocations have now been taken care of. Do not lose yours! 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 food and drink only or full 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 curry on the Saturday night. If you have any special dietary requirements please give me a shout - I know we have a few veggies. There are a few bits and pieces you will 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!! (personally I'm bringing my girlfriend but hot water bottles are a good idea too) 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...

OK, will update it now. Thanks mate (really glad you're coming btw!) everyone else... to save me sending a million pm's... if you have access to a printer and are happy for me to email you your tickets, please send me your email address. If not, I'll happily post.

we've ordered a big one from the event Al Ben - speak on facebook tomorrow? Everyone else... to save me doing loads of PM's... if you're happy for me to mail your tickets to you and you have access to a printer please send me your email addresses.

yes please Ben! Will do Alex (gonna be off the radar for a couple of days due to a bereavement but starting ticket distribution on Monday.

yes, thanks matey

No additional generators Al... we wont need it. Alex, please keep an eye on the FAQ thread. Thursday is technically a set up day, so on safety grounds I'd rather people didn't arrive until after the marquee is set up. I'll update it properly over the weekend. Malcolm...bbq is in hand:)

First batch of tickets are now with me, but loads of you have not sent me the details I need... If you haven't yet pm'd me please do so asap Thanks, Adi

first post updated btw. Also, tickets being sent to me tonight, so will be in touch about onward distribution next week!

Details in the club shop... link in the first post Remember you'll need to do show entry yourself as only food/drink tickets available now.

No family discounts I'm afraid (funds are tight this year!) but you can have a free hug from me, and I may get Hels to make you some coffee too!

Great, will check asap Dane Paid list updated. I don't have the event tickets quite yet, but will be contacting everyone shortly for their addresses. In the mean time, if you haven't already, please send me the details about your car. Thanks, Adi.

I wanna do the Saturday night special

Things starting to take shape on this now guys! The awesome news is.... generator hire just got much cheaper than last year! This either means more money for beer, or we MAY be able to fund Thursday night drinking, so watch this space! If you haven't made yourself familiar with the first post in this thread, please do so; there are a few things you'll need to bring with you!

Thanks guys! Yay! We have our chef back!!

Right, so, if you've bought tickets, can you send me a PM as follows please: Title: JAE: My details Content: Vehicle Reg: Vehicle Colour Full Name Address If you don't do this, I'll pester you by PM too Note: I don't have them ready to post yet, but I should do within the next few days! PS. First post PAID list juggled a little

Paid list now updated with final full price ticket purchases. I'd love to see others there, so a food/drink only ticket is now available in the club shop, and you'll need to sort entry yourself (you can either do this yourself on their website, or on the gate when you arrive) those who have bought full price tickets , I'll be in touch shortly.

Right guys, I've just asked for the full price tickets to be removed from the shop, and replaced with a food/drink only ticket. Basically, if you still want to come, get in there quickly please, or you'll need to be buying a food/drink only ticket in the club shop and sorting your entry ticket yourself! Details on how to do this will become available once the tickets have swapped over. Tickets for those who have already paid will be posted as soon as I can... I'll keep everyone up to date with progress.

Anyone who hasn't paid who still wants to come, pay attention to the interest thread please. Last few days the full price inc entry tickets will be available

Last couple of days the all inclusive tickets will be on sale guys (after that it switches to food/drink only and you'll have to sort entry yourself) Please therefore buy them ASAP, or pm if you can no longer make it.

Helen says we're coming to this, and she's driving there, and I'm driving home!

Paid list updated. Al - my gf is coming up on the Friday night cos she's working Thu/Fri.... why doesn't yours do the same?

Right, sorry for the blatant thread hijack, but bluewater guys who haven't responded to my JAE pm's, please do so! I might even come to the next one (even more likely now Hels is on the insurance!) Tar muchly. Adi.

Paid list updated. 31 so far by the look of it, so looking like a great attendance! For those who haven't yet paid, and haven't PM'd me, I'd really appreciate an update on if you're still interested if you can please

Just keep it away from Alex! (and everyone away from my chair!)
