Good evening all,

Please read the following few items...

I have just secured the lovely new Nissan GTR Premium Model for the show, so that will be on display (providing that the documentation is sorted by tomorrow).



========================

Samco Sport have donated a silicone engine hose kit to the raffle thanks to Demon Tweeks. This will be for the winner's vehicle of choice.

========================

I will be posting maps and entrance information on the forum shortly.

Many thanks,

::: RULES & GUIDELINES :::

Times:
Entry to the venue for owners clubs and companies will begin at 07:30AM and end promptly at 09:30AM. Cars after this time will not be able to access the stands for their clubs.
This is according to Haigh Hall Country Park's Health & Safety Regulations, as the venue is open to the public and so we must gather and arrange all cars by 09:30AM in preparation for opening.

The event will officially be open from 10:00AM to the public and this is when all cars will be in situe by.
The event will be closing at 16:00 and all cars MUST be cleared by 18:00.

Rubbish:
Basically, I have been told that if any rubbish is left at the end of the day, it will be picked by the park rangers and there WILL BE A CHARGE FOR THIS.
PLEASE collect ALL your rubbish, it's not a large favour to ask and this all contributes to being able to use the venue next time around.
If rubbish is left, the charge incurred will have to be passed onto your club.
Marshals:
Marshals will be located at the entrance to Haigh Country Park, along the driveway to Haigh Hall and at the event site to control and assist with parking of exhibition vehicles. Please conform to their directions.
Drivers are cautioned not to exceed 10MPH whilst you are within the grounds of Haigh Hall.
On arrival at the event site, your vehcile will be checked off from a list, according to your FORUM NAME, CLUB NAME AND REGISTRATION PLATE NUMBER.

The Day:
Should there be a need for a vehicle to be moved during the event, you MUST seek the assistance of one of the event marshals. Should you refuse to wait for assistance prior to moving the vehicle, a signature will be required on the Health and Safety Waiver Form and the matter reported to Event Control, along with your vehicle details.

Everyone should be aware of Health & Safety issues and bring any concerns to the attention of the event organisers, which may be found at the main Japan North Stand and also wearing high visibility vests.
At the end of the day, the event marshals will supervise the orderly exit of exhibitors from Haigh Hall Country Park.

Please note: All members that have voiced interest in attending the day have been compiled into a list. This list will be passed onto event marshals, who will ensure that only cars belonging to members of the list may enter the venue for display on their club stand.

Above all, have a safe and enjoyable day and I look forward to meeting you all at the second Japan North Car Show!

Kind regards,
Jamie Rigby

::: Maps & Recommendations :::

Good evening all,

Below you will find the map outlining the entry points for the venue.

Key:
Red Dot - Indicates entry point for vehicles unaffected by ramps
Blue Dot - Indicates entry point for low vehicles
Green Dot - Indicates entry point for very low vehicles
Orange Dot - Indicates entry point to the showground

For those not attending with an owners club, or who are not on a club stand, there is plenty parking available and you will be directed towards this on arrival.
If attending as part of a club and with a stand, then you will be asked for the appropriate details, which will correspond to a predefined list.

Kind regards,

::: Cleaning - Get Your Car Looking Spot On! :::

Get Sponging:
Plenty of owners and stand exhibitions spend the time cleaning their vehicles on the days before the show, but if you would like to give your car that last shine, then there is a water tap on site for you to use - just remember to bring those sponges!
There will be lots of photographs taken on the day, many of which will be submitted to the various car magazines for the aftershow article, including Banzai, Japanese Performance and Max Power.
Get those wheels shiny and get that bodywork polished! :)

Competitions:
There are awards available on the day for both Best I.C.E. and Show & Shine.
You can collect the entry forms from the Japan North Stand on the day and there is no fee to enter.

Food Court:
At Japan North 2008, we have a food court available, so there will be something to munch down on when you're a tad peckish!

Vehicle Forms:
Just a quick reminder to get those forms downloaded and displayed in your window, which are available towards the end of this thread.

All the best,
Jamie Rigby

Good afternoon everyone,
Well, what a fantastic result. Without your presence at the show and contributions to the day, it wouldn't have been the show it turned out to be.
No matter what size of club, large or small, each person that attended helped make the day a success and I thank you all for that.
Not forgetting the marshals and team that helped out on the day - it couldn't have been accomplished without them!

I hope you all liked some of the cars I arranged to be there, including the Nissan GTR, Evo X and Honda Integra DC5 Touring Car :)

As you all know, the day was a tad moist in places and sadly, this is one element I cannot control (however, the chinese have mastered methods of precipitation so maybe they can help? :) )

The raffle prizes and tickets that were drawn on the day can be found on the website at www.JapanNorth.co.uk/raffle.html

Keep an eye out in the magazines as Banzai and Japanese Performance promised coverage and details have been sent to them. If I find out before yourselves, I'll post up the details for you all. Max Power have already published an article to their website here: http://www.maxpower.co.uk/article.asp?asset=7452 and http://www.maxpower.co.uk/gallery.asp?asset=7455

I'll be hovering around the forum for some time and if you ever want to ask anything regarding the show or anything else feel free to get in touch ;)

Once again, may I thank you for all your help in making the show a success and hope to see you at next year's Japan North - 2009!

All the best and regards,
Jamie Rigby
