JAE 2009! Discussion Thread

[LimeyMk1]

Let's hope it goes a bit further north...

With the attitudes of the county councils and residents of the UK it'll probably end up in France.

Just an update on JAE 2009...well there is no update really...!
The venue still has not been secured and subsequently the dates are not confirmed.
JAE organises are working hard to secure the deal, and it looks like it will still be September time.

Will post up as soon as i know the details.

Cheers for the update scott

Well, it's finally been announced!!!

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!

Yup-will be back at it by then. Ah well, it's only 2 hours from here so there will still be plenty of drinking time left

Has anyone else noticed JAE is not listed in the events section on the parks website

http://www.wicksteedpark.co.uk/events.aspx?cid=17

I hope they just havn't bothered updating it.

[Driftlimits Performance]

such a shame it's not at MI

Kettering? we might as well go to the pod

[toxo]

I have it on pretty good authority that the SXOC are thinking of pulling out of JAE this year, and they're a pretty big presence! It's mainly down to the fact that the JAE 'noise police' (who they found a tolerable nuisance at MI) will be in full force this year, as Wicksteed Park is surrounded by residential areas.

Holy cr@p John that means with your Gods farting machine they are gonna sooooooooooooooooo love you

lol, if I've still got the buddyclub in September then something has gone seriously wrong Joking aside, aren't the SXOC like 40% of the total JAE turnout? That'll be a big loss, and throw the organisers figures right out...

Yes you can come to the show for any days you wish but the ticket price remains the same. Dont forget, as you are a regular member, ticket prices are £25 but you do get Premium membership thrown in as well which is a saving fo £2.50
You will then be eligible for the hog roast that we are supplying free of charge on the Saturday night as well as use of the marquee etc etc.

Get paid up mate, you really dont want to miss this show!

Have we settled on a theme for Saturday night yet?
