This is a plan to meetup en route to the Simply Japanese event.

Simply Japanese is being held on SUNDAY 24TH JULY at Beaulieu - details here....

Simply Japanese | 24th July 2022 | Beaulieu, National Motor Museum

We have a club stand booked - currently for 10 cars - but can alter that up to two weeks before the show by contacting the organisers.

We will be starting at Polegate Cophall roundabout petrol station at 05:30 and using the A27/M27 corridor to go to the Tesco in Applemore on the edge of the New Forest. This has a large car park to meet more members of the club coming from other parts of the country, it also has a petrol station. The store won't be open as its a sunday so no need to worry about parking. In recent years other clubs have started to use this as a meeting point; the supra club, the subaru, the 350Z club to name but a few. It ends up being a small mini car meet before we drive over to Beaulieu in convoy.

The drive is two hours from Polegate to Applemore, so should get there around 7.30 to allow 30-45 minutes before driving over to Beaulieu and joining the queue when they allow access at 08:30.

If you want to meet up along the route (A27/M27) let me know, I can create a whatsapp group and share my location while I'm driving so you can track our progress and catch up to us. I do not touch my phone while driving, so once we have left, I will be uncontactable until we reach Applemore.

A few rules:

• Tesco have never stopped us from using their car park or complained, as it is a great meeting point with petrol on tap we don't want to lose it, so please, no donuts, burnouts, etc.
• The New Forest has wild animals, ponies, horses, deer, rabbits, honey badgers... please follow all speed limits and refrain from being silly
• Inside Beaulieu, once parked up, please leave engines off. They have neighbours and need to keep the noise to a minimum.

 

 

I reckon Julia and me will be attending Beaulieu again this year.....

....We'll be staying somewhere local, so will meet everyone at Tesco, just like the old days.... It sure is nice to have shows like this to enjoy once again ? 

I’m considering this but won’t commit until the week of the show pending the weather forecast! Any idea if the 350z club have an area reserved that we can jump in on?

Actually, do we have a club stand - I'm happy to organise one, if we don't already!

 

......Update - I have emailed the organisers to request a stand for 10 cars...... ? 

As far as I know we don't. Can we get the banners and stuff organised? I hope we are under the monorail again and not in the far field

Hopefully I'll hear back with regards my request for a club stand.... And in the meantime, I have bought my tickets and booked a hotel room/dinner for Saturday night... ?

I agree, under the monorail is a good spot, so fingers crossed!

Sadly I don't have any banners etc., so if any of the southern REOs can help, please let me know... Not that there's much room to squeeze them into a Zed, with overnight bags LOL!

Just heard back from the show organisers - we now have our club stand reserved, currently for up to 10 cars.

We need to update them with final numbers two weeks prior to the event - and we must all be on the stand before 10.30am. They will send me the club stand labels for distribution once numbers are confirmed ? 

I'll be there, I already have my ticket!

Nice one Tom ?

Hope you don't mind, I edited your original post to include a few more details, now that we have a club stand.... Didn't seem worth starting a new thread for just a couple more words ?

Look forward to seeing you there mate!

Pushing this back to the top.....

We have a club stand, but I have to let the organisers know how many people we are expecting, this Friday (8th) - so could anyone wishing to attend please let me know ASAP? Thanks!

Richard ? 

I will be there!
