Dear all,

 

First off, you may or may not remember me, but last year we organised the Japanese Car Show held at Haigh Hall in Wigan, named Japan North...

 

Well, this year it's back - Japan North 2008 is set to be even better, with some outstanding raffle prizes and metal on display. I'm not going to give too much away just yet with regards to the prizes but all I can say is that the winners will be rather lucky once again!

 

The date is Sunday 17th August 2008 and Haigh Hall being the venue again.

Here is the Club Link from last year's event for some past information:

Here are some images from last year's event:

I have set up a Facebook Group for both last year's and this year's events so please take a look and join them if you can:

If you wish to attend this year, please place your name in this post below, listing your:

 

Name:

Forum Name:

Vehicle:

 

Please note this year we will be asking for donations upon entry to the venue, which will be placed toward charity. All funds raised last year were also donated to several charities, including Butterflies, the Wigan charity dedicated to the underprivileged children in our area.

 

It would be appreciated if you could make your friends aware of the event so that we gain much more publicity and interest as we all know that a show's popularity grows from word-of-mouth and with this being so local (rather than in Scotland or way down South) this would help greatly!

 

I hope to see both faces and cars that came along last year and new ones that will attend this year...

 

If you would like to ask any questions then fire away...

Thanks again and I hope to see you there,

I'm planning on coming down atleast for a bit (i can walk into haigh hall in 5 mins from my house), thing is the car is completely stock (don't know if this matters but will probably look a little shite compared to some of the other peoples on here) and it's in the middle of a respray so don't know if that'll be finished but fingers crossed.

Will give you more details as i get them mate. I dont think there are tickets, but will confirm asap.

Afternoon everyone...

 

Tickets are not required, you will be asked for your club details on entry to the event - along with a donation :)

 

Those times stated are correct but remember that there will be a rather large number of vehicles attending on the day so will be rather busy - thus I recommend that you do not leave it until 09:45 to arrive if possible.

 

Kind regards,

Jamie

Afternoon everyone,

 

Tickets for the show's raffle can now be purchased online through the PayPal system BUT it has been setup so that you do not need to register with PayPal if you do not wish to!

http://www.japannorth.co.uk/raffle.html

 

Please note that these tickets are limited and once they are gone - they will not be extended.

 

Tickets can be posted, or alternatively collected on the day.

 

All the best,

Jamie

Thanks Jamie

 

I will be planning to arrive there approx 8.45am.

 

Jamie, last year there was mention of there being two entrances. one for low cars and one for cars that are not lowered. Is that still the case?

Stock height Z's will have no problem from any entrance but any lower and dont use the aspull entrance use either the new springs entrance or the red rock entrance, i think the lowest cars will need to use red rock entrance. If using the new spring entrance mind the small ramps they're not really ramps more small steps!

 

new springs entrance (higher lane)

aspull entrance (copperas lane)

Red rock entrance (School lane)
