Default ***** JAPFEST 2014 *****

I know the recent poll didnt take off too well regarding a club stand, late notice etc...

But I will most probably be attending of my own accord.

If anyone else fancies it, we could at least show some sort of club presence for a day out. I know others are thinking about attending, so I thought id let it be known ill be attending.

For tickets visit

www.japfest.co.uk

£18 a person and the date is Saturday 10th May

Track time is well and truly sold out, but therell be plenty of entertainment along with trade stands etc who knows, being may, ae may have some scorching weather

Should the day out prove worthy enough, hopefully it could be added to the ESOC calander as a future reoccuring event with the possibility of a club stand.

Anyone wishing to attend, this is purely organised individually and I wont be accepting payments to organise others tickets.

So there we have it, 1 person attending from the ESOC

Edit.

£18 per person is advance booking only.
On the door price is £25 per person
Children under 14 are FREE
Gates open at 9:30am

Thank you for posting this thread up Dan. I think it's a great idea and one that I have been trying to push amongst the very few people who did tick 'yes' on the poll.

There was a lot of things to consider when organising a club stand that I myself just had not taken into consideration.

That said, it would be a great event to frequent in the future. There is so many Subaru clubs that attend, I was shocked to find that we weren't one of them when I went last year- definitely missing a trick there.

I hope we will see a few familiar faces over there. Its a good day out and hopefully, come May, the weather will be making more of an effort.

So that's at least TWO ESOC members who will be going this year!

(s'pose I'd better order myself some branded clothing then eh? lol)

Anymore??

I would really like to have come along, I've been to quite a few in the past and its always a good event.
Unfortunately for me my shift pattern doesn't fit in with this or JAE. :-(

Well, it's come around quick!

Anyone who has seen the weather forecast for tomorrow will know its not going to be the most idealistic of conditions.
A shame really, especially when you look back at the weekend just gone and how glorious that was by comparison

I'm almost relieved we didn't go ahead with the club stand now.

None the less, I'll still be attending! It'll take a lot more than some lousy rain to dampen my spirits. No pun intended.

I hope to see some familiar faces whilst I'm out and about- Ill be the one wrapped up in every single item of warm clothing at my disposal, probably looking like a flump.

To anyone who will be going and tracking their own cars, I hope you have fun, but stay safe in that heavy rain

Exactly! If anything, they had an even bigger turn out than last year!

Hundreds of people were there!

Plus, the rain served to make the Drifting action all the more interesting!

The weather could have been better overall but the sun actually did show it's face from time to time which is more than I was expecting given the forecast.

I was referring to the ESC/ESOC dear, rather than the whole event. It's a shame none of the "chavvy" members were there...
