Open Event: 2011 Events / Shows

[Darren_S15]

LATEST UPDATE FROM ME:

Right, I think what I'm going to do here is pick 5 events.

These will be:

Japfest - Saturday 14th May @ Castle Combe Circuit
JapShow - Sunday 19th June @ Santa Pod Raceway
Traxs - TBA
Japfest2 - Sunday 14th August @ Rockingham Motor Speedway
JAE - Friday 9th to Sunday 11th September @ Wicksteed Park, Kettering

Ill start threads for each of the above events as they become closer and see how much interest each one gets.

Not even sure Ill be going to them all myself but I do not need to be there.

Ok so after managing to get the club to JAE this year I thought it would be nice to try and make some more events next year.

Hopefully we can make this post a sticky?

Id like to get an idea of what events people would like to go to and then maybe we can pick 3 or 4 and try and make it as a club to these.

Im not asking for any commitment from anyone right now, this is purly an exercise to see if its worth my time trying to do this.

Events Summary List:

JAE
Japfest
Japshow
Trax
Roterstock
Japanese Tuning Show

Please feel free to sugest any more events or shows you have been to and enjoyed or would like to go to.

i'll come to as many as i can next year - i thought that modified live at brands was a pretty cool show this year and theres also the bhp show at lydden hill but thats more because its local......

 

[Kōsoku]

And what about JDM All Stars sessions and shows?

I think I'll try to visit GB after I'll repair my car. Will need an invitation next year to make a visa )))

[S15AK]

Will have to check the dates, but I'm hopping to do the ring next year, so not sure how many more car events I can get in, as the ring will cost a few quid (but can't wait )

 

[craig8585]

Nice thinking Darren. I'll make some of them but can't say which ones yet due to work commitments. Stickying coming up!

 

[Darren_S15]

Well not a great response so far.

And what about JDM All Stars sessions and shows?

Add it to the list then

I'll make some of them but can't say which ones yet due to work commitments.

I'm not looking for any level of commitment, its more what events would you like to go to...

That way I can get an idea of possible interest.

 

[craig8585]

Ahh, in that case..

I have no idea what i can and cant do with a wedding looming next summer. It would be handy if we had dates as well ?

Yeah I did try and find dates, but I think it's too early for
Most of them at the moment.

As I said to Craig forget dates for now and just put your name down for the ones you would like to attend (forgetting dates at the moment) then if there is good interest in 2 or 3 I can try and organise them.

[vinnie]

Cool

Ive never been to any car events/shows.
I'm so use to going to panasonic, Sony and samsung shows because of work.

I'm up for the:

JAE, Japfest and Trax.

Hope me car will have a few mods by then lol.

 

[LuPix_S15]

Hey vinnie - definitely get yourself to some show... it's always good atmosphere at the Jap ones and of course some cracking cars to oggle over and admire!! (apart from your own lol)


And good to be able to meet you as well

 

[LuPix_S15]

BTW - would it be good to have an S15OC meet say in April before all the shows begin? That way we can do at least two proper club meets in the year (the other one July/August) and I'd love to take some individual shots of cars for all owners if we can agree on a location to take these pics etc :thumbs:

 

[vinnie]

Yeah mate I can't wait to see the gang lol.
I'm just so bored seeing tv's, projectors etc at a show. Looking forward to some cars lol.

I think a meet in April is a great idea Lu Pix.

 

[LuPix_S15]

Was just thinking if there's enough interest I can try and help organise 2 things as long as Darren doesn't mind?


1. S15OC meet @ SRB Power in Grays, Essex. I know it's a long way for most but I'll deffo come down for this and can arrange it with Dan who I'm sure will be interested. Good chance for people to buy parts as well and it's close for all the guys based London/Essex/Kent areas

2. S15OC meet @ Protuner in Redditch, West Mids. This is closer for me and more central in the country. I've not met Greg but JameS15 knows him and we can both try and ask to see if he'd have us there on a Sat or Sun. He's got rolling road so maybe we can incorporate this so it's worth his while?

Can organise one in March and one in April if there's enough willing to attend both events :thumbs:

James

 

[vinnie]

Yeah I don't going to both events.
It be a nice drive to the west mids lol.

Haha, you say that like I'm the club event organiser :rotfl:

All sounds good to me mate.

I'd be happy to go if the same people show up at every event, it's just nice to get together as a club :thumbs:

 

[LuPix_S15]

lol I thought you were or did you end up in that role for JAE haha


Cool I will drum up a thread about dates in good time (end of this year so there's no excuses). Everyone gets to vote so we'll just have to go with most popular dates and I'll have a chat to Dan @ SRB as well as JameS15 about getting in touch with Greg @ Protuner. If not then we can always try Julian @ Garage-D (I'm possibly getting 2 way diff installed early next year so can ask him then) :thumbs:
