Well I had an excellent weekend & it was really nice to see everyone again! A massive thanks to Daman & everyone else that helped it happen You did a superb job!
What can I say that hasn’t been said?
In my opinion, we are one of the biggest and best car clubs. I’m proud to be a member and I’m sure everyone else is. JAE is our annual opportunity to show this in a public light but unfortunately, for whatever reason, we were really short on numbers this year. Our club winning best stand last year seems to have upped the ante and there were some very impressive ones this year, a lot different to JAE at Peterborough (not too sure about the GTO OC Christmas fancy dress party on Saturday night though lol!). Admittedly the location wasn’t ideal but seeing as though it’s only once a year I didn’t mind the long drive. Maybe there are sour grapes about it being moved from Peterborough and people whinging about it being too far away but the distance definitely didn’t affect the other clubs, they had massive turnouts! I think we were struggling to outnumber the Primera owners club next to us! The Irish Jap Car club managed to attend (seriously:)) and other clubs had members drive all the way from Sweden!
At the end of the day I (and everyone else) had a superb weekend due to Daman etc. working exceptionally hard unfortunately I do think though that JAE is way too big an event for one person to organise. Hopefully next year a lot more people will get involved regardless of location and we can show that mkivsupra is still the best Japanese car club!
