Simply Japanese - 3 August 2014

-

Joint South West / South Central / South East event!

 

Following the success of the Haynes Motor Museum meet that I managed to organise in a week and last year's Beaulieu meet, Steve (z32bolt), Howard (bigh), Terry and myself are organising what could be one of the biggest southern meets the club has seen for many years for the summer of this year! This is aimed at the South West, South Central and South East regions, but of course, this is open to EVERYONE and we'd love to see as many attend as possible!

 

Beaulieu Motor Museum is holding its yearly 'Simply Japanese' meet again this year - Steve did do something similar last year and got a good number there, some 30 cars - due to the anniversaries of the Z32 (25 years) and the S30 (45 years) we want to make this a joint region and multi club event and get the numbers up further!

Other than than Japfest at CC, we really don't have much going on south of the M4 in terms of large meets. This will be a great event if you're visiting solo, with another half, or with family!

 

We will be attending this show as 300zx.co.uk, but also hope to have support, as we often do, from the UK Zclub, 350 and 370 owners club. I have spoken with the event organiser and have arranged that we will have our own 'Z' stand, in addition, Gary is also supplying us with a new club banner. I am also proposing that we try and get some sort of blurb into one of the classic car magazines too!

 

There is a cost, but it's very small. £10 per person, or £5 for children. TBH, that's the same price as a pub meal!

 

Beaulieu is a great venue, the area around it is stunning, being in the New Forest, the museum itself is fantastic and there's plenty to do there for everyone - in essence, a great day out for all. I understand you get access to the Abbey, the museum and there are events for kids to do, birds of prey on display etc. If possible, later on down the line, I may try to get a pro-photographer along (my neighbour in actual fact) for those of you before the show who want to get some really good hi-res images of your cars - there may be a small cost to this also.

 

Some photos of the Haynes meet.

 

 

 

 

 

Here also are some photos from last year's Simply Japanese event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a snapshop of the site with attractions for those that have never been before - it's vast!

 

 

 

 

We aim to have various convoys to meet up at a pre-determined venue before a cruise to the event, I will post this live on other Z forums over the coming months.

 

Hope to see you there! Please add your names to the local events section which myself, Steve, Terry and Howard will be managing and eventually they'll find their way onto here!

 

Jimmer and I will of course be coming down from the South West area, along with Steve and Howard's region and also Terry's region.

 

We'd love to build this event to over 40 cars as there were 30 last year! The aim would be to hit 45, the milestone of the 240z! It would be epic to make it the biggest turnout of any of the other clubs - this thread is up early to give members enough notice! :)

Actually, this event is one if the most family friendly I've been too. There was access last year to the historic abbey, there was also a flying display by a falconer and the obvious muses

With world of topgear etc. My mrs came with me last year and I quote "enjoyed herself" lol now there's a rarity.

It's extremely encouraging to see a few of the newer faces peeking some interest.

Approaching 20...ALREADY! This is starting to shape up very quickly! Once we get the Zclub involved and the 350z/370z guys, we should double that number easily!

This was the first simply jap they did was only a few of us

I'm looking forward to seeing that stock UK pearl yellow - looks exceptionally clean from the other photos I've seen of it. Who's is it?

Yeah I had my wife and two kids, bit of a squeeze! But all had a great day.

Fancy coming along to this, probably with my other half who has quite a bit of pro camera gear :) Looks like it could be epic!

Put me down Si, will probably bring the other half and the kids for a great day out :thumbup:

 

I will let you add my name so i dont confuse you lol

If any of you are planning on travelling from further a field and staying locally(highly recommend if you've never busted this part of the world before) we can sort out a BBQ the night before.
