Default JAE 2012

Tickets now on sale - CLICK HERE

JAE dates have been set they are 7-8-9 of September. Not sure if I should have started this but as usual I can't wait for this event again

A little info about the event:
JAE will be back at Wicksteed Park on 7-9 September 2012

After such a fantastic response in 2009 and with even more clubs in 2010 and 2011 you just know that Wicksteed Park is the perfect place for JAE! The venue is great for everyone as it has so much to offer. As well as a great central location it's big enough to cater for all our cars and camping right next to your club pitch! For the hardened JAE goers it has everything you need and with club barbecues the main stay of the night what more could you want? The two funfairs will be open again this year for those with families and, as ever, we will make sure we cater for all your needs.

UPDATE FOR ANYONY INTERESTED IN SHOW AND SHINE

Entry to this year's Show n Shine competition will be on FRIDAY 7 SEPTEMBER. This is to allow the winners cars to go on show for the Saturday and for all the winners to be seen by everyone attending JAE. The winners enclosure will be in a key central location and all the cars will be fenced off so those attending JAE can look but not touch.

Prize giving for the JAE Show n Shine winners will take place on Saturday afternoon, in front of the winning cars and, for the first time in JAE history, the winners will be seen with their cars at the awards ceremony. Entry into the competition demands that your car is available from 10am on Saturday until 5pm the same day and is only display in the winners enclosure.

Judging for the Show n Shine competition will take place all day Friday. Just pitch up at the Kleers judging area and our friends from Kleers will do the rest. You will need to fill in a form and register. if you do so long enough before the event our friends at Kleers may even send you a goody bag before the event! forms should be sent to the adress on the bottom of the form

If you want time to prep your car you can bring the vehicle in from 5pm on Thursday 6 September. To do this we MUST have your form in to us before 1 September, only then can we let your details go to our security and they can let you in early.

There are awards for every make of Japanese car so plenty of chance to win GOOD LUCK!

The form can be downloaded here

This will be my third JAE it shows you how good it is that I keep traveling the length of the country (from Shetland) to attend this event

Who's going

JAE 2012



WICKSTEED PARK 7-9th SEPTEMBER


Why do we have it? – This event is open to all Japanese car owners/groups from around the UK and beyond. This annual event is a great opportunity to meet other Japanese car owners in a relaxed, informal and pleasant gathering.

Where? - The venue is Wicksteed Park, which is the same place as JAE 2010. Wicksteed is a fantastic venue and has a lot to offer http://www.wicksteed...uk/default.aspx in addition to the planned JAE events/competitions the park also has the following;

Large boating/fishing lake
Go-kart oval
Fairground
Roller coaster
18 hole crazy golf
Putting green
Playground for younger children
Restaurant
Bar
Band*
Disco*

* still to be confirmed for JAE 2012.


The owners groups - From the higher spec 300ZX, GTR’s, MX5’s and Lexus, to the less flamboyant Starlets, Micra’s and Alto’s. All are friendly, welcoming and more than happy to show you their cars and explain all about them, some of which are simply outstanding and a real honour to spend time looking at.

Events – The list of owners group competitions has not yet been confirmed for 2011, however based on last year events it’s fair to assume it will be similar to those list below;

- Five-a-side football (a great opportunity to show off those skills and acquire some war wounds…well grass burns!)
- Tug of War (self explanatory, usually a few ‘ringers’ hidden in some teams – obviously a sore point for the S2k club)
- It’s a knockout! (a great chance to look foolish before the ravages of alcohol set in!)
- Eating competition (not for the faint hearted – a cast iron constitution is a must but a great spectacle for the onlookers!)
- Karaoke (well its like marmite…you either love it, or hate it, but a great laugh).
- Show n shine (some serious car bling! It’s a pleasure to view all the effort owners put in to their ‘paint rubbing’)

Of course the points from all of these events go towards the best owners group competition during JAE, so more S2K members that sign up and offer there services/bodies/stomachs, the better our chances of being crowned top club (quite an accolade within the JAE).

S2000 Stand - Without doubt the best organised and laid out group area of the show. The S2K stand is located close to all facilities and events, with power being supplied from the club stand, in addition the showers and toilets within a very close walking (or staggering) distance. The S2K tented area is situated within the clubs own ‘pitch’ which is nice to know you will be close to your pride and joy (albeit after several senior Tizers/wines/Absinths, you will probably be in no fit state to admire it!). Food of course is a must, and again the club provide cooking facilities and some food stuffs, so everyone can get the chance (if they wish) to cremate breakfast, lunch and diner! During the evenings (if your still awake), the sounds of the resident S2K DJ always attracts people in to the stand from all over JAE (mainly for the great music, and also watch in disbelief at the sustained level of horrific moves from the S2K dance Posse!).

Summary - Whether you’re a regular to JAE or a first-timer, all are welcome, everybody is willing to help each other and nothing is too much trouble. The JAE party atmosphere is definitely the main thread throughout weekend. For the hyperactive amongst you, there is plenty to do, see and join in with. Alternatively or you can just relax, kick back and join the serious socialites with a beer (or multiples of!) either way you will find it hard not to enjoy yourself. After dark, the owner’s club parties really start as the music is ramped up (within reason…the law and all that!) plus a fantastic organised firework display on the Saturday night.

Convinced yet? - So if you ever thought about signing up for JAE but are unsure about what it entails, please rest assured it is one hell of a great weekend. Just ask anyone who attended JAE 2010 for their recommendations; they will all be 100% positive. And even if camping isn’t your thing – it is all part of the camaraderie of JAE, either way you will find it hard not to enjoy yourself.


So go ahead, put your name down and pay your money, you will not be disappointed. JAE is one event you will not wish to miss in 2012.

Well if Mike is going, then me and Jo will have to come along and help him put his tent up. Otherwise he will end up sleeping in a hedge
