Japanese Auto Extravaganza - 29/30/31 August 2008

Seeing as the regulars are a bit dubious on whether to go or not i sort of volunteered to run this one for JNC. first up im gonna ask for a show of hands whos interested in going, and providing theres going to be enough people ill book a club stand for the relevant number.

details are as follows.

Japanese Auto Extravaganza - 29/30/31 August 2008.
East Mersea Island, just outside Colchester. CO5 8SX.

few snippets of info:

food: for this show its gonna be take your own, tea/coffee should be do-able if you have a camping stove... if not, i have the tomoguchi 12v kettle of justice, it will be used for my pot noodles!
drink: NO GLASS BOTTLES ON SITE. FULL STOP. it is a danger to tires and feet. mersea island is used as an activity centre all year round by youngsters so a smashed glass item is not good...
weather: currently mediocre, could be sunny (we hope) but take some waterproofs, you have been warned...
camping: similar to previous years (on stand).
show and shine: cant see us doing this to be fair.

THURSDAY - Set up day. Only limited number of club representatives allowed on site.

FRIDAY - The show opens from 10am. The gates will be open until midnight.

SATURDAY - The gates are open from 7am until midnight.

SUNDAY - The gates are open from 7am and the show closes at 5pm.

Friday 11:54
Friday at midnight (JAE gates will be closed by then anway)
Saturday 12:46

Think you'll have the Silverline Coffeetable back by then? It was nice of you to drop it off again in time for my monthly visit

I could be interested, have to check back later though, as I'm slated to be in Saudi sometime around then.
