Now then, JAE 2015 was a MASSIVE success for us. We set out to put the Elgrand on the map, and we did it! Not only that, but we also won "Best Overall Club Stand" this year, which is a great honour.
We need to get the ball rolling now to make sure that next year we're back, bigger and better. We went into this years show with no experience at all and just winged it. This meant that pretty much everyone who attended ended up bringing far more than they should have. We want to streamline this as much as possible so that we have everything we need without putting anyone to more trouble than is necessary.
No one has mentioned about 2016 ticket prices. But I am going to guess that they will start off at £35 for the Thurday - Sunday and £30 for the Friday to Sunday, same as this year.
The EOC club tickets were £7.50 extra per head to help cover the cost of buying some basic equipment for the show. This may be a little higher next year as we are going to look into getting some extras included, which will be an extra few quid per person, but it will make the whole event much more comfortable for all of us.
The cost of these extras is going to be dependant on how many people we get on the stand. I want to double the numbers for next year, so 26 Elgrand's all showing up on the stand for the full weekend event... all prices will be based on this number. If we get more, it'll be cheaper. If we get less, we'll drop some of the extras and have a more basic set up like we had this year.
The extras that are currently on the list (we'll add to this as we go) are:
Electrical hookup @ approx £150 = £5.75 per person
Hog Roast @ approx £150 = £5.75 per person
JAE 2016 - 8th to 11th September
So, we need to know who will be up for it. This is more than just a car show, it's a 4 day camping trip that gives you an amazing opportunity to meet your fellow club members, show off your pride and joy and have a great social atmosphere for a few days. Everyone who came this year is returning next year, and they're all stoked about going. We've also had a LOT of interest from the public too, so maybe a few new members who are JAE-goers who will join us on the stand!
So then, get yours names down so we can start setting things out and organising it properly!!
