JAE LAYOUT AND ELGRANDOC STAND LOCATION A5 / A6 / A21 / A22
CLOSE UP OF ELGRANDOC PLOT LOCATION - FIRE LANE SEPARATES THE TWO SIDES.
All vans MUST be on Plot A5 / A6 during the day. This is the clubs show plot. This side will be Elgrand's ONLY. No Tents / No Awnings / No Marquee.
The club marquee and social area will be on plots A21 / A22. This is also where the tents/awnings will be set up. The tents will be along the back, as they are static. The awnings will be at the sides to allow the vans to get to/from the awning for night time sleeping.
Anyone who does not want to sleep next to the marquee, which will be where most people congregate until early hours are welcome to use the quiet camping area. Tents/awnings can be set up there, and locked up during the day. Your belongings will be safe, but please ensure you keep anything valuable locked up in your van or keep them on you.
Tents need to be as close together as possible, so when you get there, if you are the first, pick a corner and we will work down from there. We will keep them as compact as possible to ensure that there is enough space for everyone.
The club marquees will house the beer pool (filled with ice and beer/cider/wine/whatever), the DJ set and equipment, any communal fridge/freezers we manage to get, electrical outlets for charging mobiles, tablets etc. Within the marquee area will also be the communal BBQ which obviously everyone is free to use.
The Elgrands will be parked in a particular order... details to be released closer to the time when we get a plot layout sorted. This must be adhered to and we will expect people to be able to line up their car with others. If you are unable to do this, someone can park your Elgrand on the stand for you so that it's in keeping with the others.
Generally, for now, we will have all of the E50's together, and all of the E51's together. We will look to have them in age order at a minimum so that people can see the various generations and models available. We would also request that some (not all) have their side doors open at periods throughout the day so that visitors can look in and see what these beasts are all about.
There will be an empty spot on our stand this year, as I have been accepted into the Show And Shine competition, so my Elgrand will be moved off the stand into the main arena for the day on Saturday. I will also need to ensure that the Elgrand is as clean as possible so a lot of my time on Friday will be spent doing last minute preparation, so I hope that most people can just crack on and get things set up for their own needs.
I hope this covers as many of the basics for now. We will always ensure that we do whatever we can to accomodate everyone's specific needs. So if you need to request something specific, please let us know and we will do our best.
Lastly, please remember that this is a car show. Not a camping weekend. There will be noise, there will be revving engines, there will be music, there will be people having fun. The best thing to do is to just get stuck in and join with everyone else.
The quiet camping area is a little further away from our plot to where it was last year, but it's only a short walk, and any members of the admin team can help assist with anything you need on the day, and I'm sure other members will help if you need anything taking to/from the quiet camping area to the club stand without having to use your van.
We will sort everything out when we get there and we will work through any issues we encounter to give the best possible outcome for as many as possible.
We will have a great time, as we have done every year previously. The only people that have really had a problem have been those who assume it will be a camping weekened. It is a car show first and foremost, a car show that you can camp at and spend 3 days with like minded enthusiasts.
