The 300zx.co.uk annual club meet for 2016 has been organised, with a return to Coventry Transport Museum and Millenium Place.

For those that haven't been, the Museum is a great place to visit, and parking right outside on Millenium Place draws lots of attention and some great photo opportunities. Lexx did a fantastic job organising this location in 2014.

 

This year we will also be holding our AGM at the museum for subscribed members to attend.

In addition, we will be holding a general meeting where hopefully the REO's will be presenting their ideas for the 2017 annual club meet, where all members can vote for their preferred location, giving the REO a year to put all of the plans into place.

 

With this in mind, we have decided to nominate a local hotel as a central meeting point the day before, to set the format for following years where the annual meet could be anywhere in the country.

This will allow members that are travelling from afar to arrive the day before, meet up with other fellow members, have a nice social evening and meal, before arriving nice and fresh at the meeting venue the following morning after a short drive.

 

The nominated hotel this year is Premier Inn at Hinckley, which has an attached Brewers Fayre pub and restaurant, located next to a canal and marina. It is a 30 minute drive to the Museum on Sunday morning.

 

12 rooms are already reserved, 8 at £68 4 at £70, which are available on first come first served basis by contacting me on PM and sending the money via PayPal or bank transfer. I will need your full names, how many of you, and if you want a double, twin or family room.

Breakfast is not included in the price but can be paid for separately on arrival or in the morning.

Alternatively, you can contact the hotel yourself and make your own reservations, particularly if you want to stay extra nights.

The price increased from £68 to £70 automatically once a certain number of rooms were booked, and are likely to increase again at a certain threshold as more rooms are booked. But the hotel staff have no control over that as it is built into the booking system.

The direct line for the hotel is 01455 896920.

 

Rooms can be cancelled up to 1pm on the day, but I will be cancelling any unconfirmed or unpaid for rooms the week before that, when the menu choices are confirmed to the restaurant. If you have booked via me, then I will will refund any cancellations that are notified in time to cancel the booking.

 

The restaurant has a separate mezzanine area which has been reserved for a group meal on the Saturday evening for 30 people, but we can confirm the numbers at a later date, and can probably accommodate up to 50 people.

If anyone is local and wants to attend the meal, that will be fine, subject to the same food pre-booking details below.

 

We must provide the confirmed menu choices the week before, which we will then be committed to, whether you turn up or not.

So if you have ordered and cannot make it, we will end up having to pick up the bill, which is not ideal, so please only place your menu orders when you know for sure you are attending.

The new menu is published 17th March and a link will be added at that time and the opportunity to collect menu choices over the following weeks.

 

Please confirm on the thread whether you plan to attend the meet, whether you plan to stay at the nominated hotel, and whether you want to reserve a room through me or directly, or whether you just want to turn up for just the meet or the meal.

Mr and Mrs Johno Johnson will get across. No hotel or meal needed thanks

for everyone that is meeting up for the meal on the night before, then we will need to provide our requests the week before, to make it easier for them to serve us all together as a group in the reserved area we have.

so, here is the menu, if you want to start thinking about what you want, and i will start collating the details in a few weeks :)

does this mean that JAE is not the official Annual Club Event??? or another way, will we have an official club stand/tent at JAE? this year

does this mean that JAE is not the official Annual Club Event??? or another way, will we have an official club stand/tent at JAE? this year

1. Yes, no longer official meet

2. There will be a lot/stand for the club at jae, but it is no longer hosted as a club event so no tent electricity etc. There was a poll of about 30 people and only 4 or so would go since the ticket was over £50 or something...

Thank you, it costs me 1k, to go to ANY official meet, for JAE me and the sisters are going to buy an MR2, or an FTO, just to party I am going to check ferry prices for July

What Alic said Trish. The price hike was the nail in the coffin for our members this year so we decided to pull out of JAE (but still have our plots if any member wanted to go) So instead we are going to Coventry for the weekend in July.

Ferry prices were very high when I checked. Won't make it this year :(

Belfast to Liverpool Stena Line is £484 return with cabin (2 people) then about £100 for petrol and say about another£100 for hotel food and drink.

Thinking of coming over without the car due to ferry costs, as have a mate nearby anyway. Would anyone be up for giving the two of us a lift around for the meeting in their Z?

Would be great to see you there Jay and hope one of the members can give you a lift from the Airport. I have my son with me and its a SWB (2 seater) so thats me out mate but someone would be up for it.

I'll be going alone, so where are you needing a lift Jay?

I'm happy to help you out mate, as long as your mate has very short legs..

Hotel payment sent Craig, can you confirm it's been received mate.. Cheers..
