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:

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,

N.B. I just wanted to apologise for the delay in posting this information, but due to unforeseen events we have had issues to resolve.

Evening all, due to an overwhelming response, I will need to know by tonight / first thing tomorrow morning any additional attendees.

From 11:00am tomorrow morning (Sunday 10th August), the event will close to applicants for stand entries.

Good evening all,

 

Please read the following few items...

 

I have just secured the lovely new Nissan GTR Premium Model for the show, so that will be on display (providing that the documentation is sorted by tomorrow).

 

 

========================

 

Samco Sport have donated a silicone engine hose kit to the raffle thanks to Demon Tweeks. This will be for the winner's vehicle of choice.

 

========================

 

When attending the day the Marshals will request specific information from you, of which I have already.

Please complete the Windscreen Identification form, from the link below and display it in your window on approach to the event.

They are downloadable in either Office 2003 or Office 2007 Format:

 

Windscreen Identification - Office 2003 Format

Also, I have a Vehicle Specification form which is a template for all to use.

They are downloadable in either Office 2003 or Office 2007 Format:

::: RULES & GUIDELINES :::

 

Times:

 

Entry to the venue for owners clubs and companies will begin at 07:30AM and end promptly at 09:30AM. Cars after this time will not be able to access the stands for their clubs.

This is according to Haigh Hall Country Park's Health & Safety Regulations, as the venue is open to the public and so we must gather and arrange all cars by 09:30AM in preparation for opening.

 

 

The event will officially be open from 10:00AM to the public and this is when all cars will be in situe by.

The event will be closing at 16:00 and all cars MUST be cleared by 18:00.

 

 

Rubbish:

 

Basically, I have been told that if any rubbish is left at the end of the day, it will be picked by the park rangers and there WILL BE A CHARGE FOR THIS.

PLEASE collect ALL your rubbish, it's not a large favour to ask and this all contributes to being able to use the venue next time around.

If rubbish is left, the charge incurred will have to be passed onto your club.

 

Marshals:

 

Marshals will be located at the entrance to Haigh Country Park, along the driveway to Haigh Hall and at the event site to control and assist with parking of exhibition vehicles. Please conform to their directions.

 

Drivers are cautioned not to exceed 10MPH whilst you are within the grounds of Haigh Hall.

 

On arrival at the event site, your vehcile will be checked off from a list, according to your FORUM NAME, CLUB NAME AND REGISTRATION PLATE NUMBER.

 

 

The Day:

 

Should there be a need for a vehicle to be moved during the event, you MUST seek the assistance of one of the event marshals. Should you refuse to wait for assistance prior to moving the vehicle, a signature will be required on the Health and Safety Waiver Form and the matter reported to Event Control, along with your vehicle details.

 

Everyone should be aware of Health & Safety issues and bring any concerns to the attention of the event organisers, which may be found at the main Japan North Stand and also wearing high visibility vests.

 

At the end of the day, the event marshals will supervise the orderly exit of exhibitors from Haigh Hall Country Park.

 

Please note: All members that have voiced interest in attending the day have been compiled into a list. This list will be passed onto event marshals, who will ensure that only cars belonging to members of the list may enter the venue for display on their club stand.

 

Above all, have a safe and enjoyable day and I look forward to meeting you all at the second Japan North Car Show!

::: Maps & Recommendations :::

 

Good evening all,

 

Below you will find the map outlining the entry points for the venue.

 

Key:

 

Red Dot - Indicates entry point for vehicles unaffected by ramps

Blue Dot - Indicates entry point for low vehicles

Green Dot - Indicates entry point for very low vehicles

Orange Dot - Indicates entry point to the showground

Purple Line - Indicates roads leading to Haigh Hall Venue

 

 

For those not attending with an owners club, or who are not on a club stand, there is plenty parking available and you will be directed towards this on arrival.

 

If attending as part of a club and with a stand, then you will be asked for the appropriate details, which will correspond to a predefined list.

 

Kind regards,

Jamie Rigby

Japan North Founder & Organiser

Good evening Paul,

All the best and my apologies...

Jamie

No worrys bud :)

This isn't to say though that you cannot attend - the day is open to everyone and with all shows, you know full well that the parking areas are always littered with rather nice machines. I've had to turn down quite a few people sadly.

 

All the best,

Jamie

::: Cleaning - Get Your Car Looking Spot On! :::

 

 

Get Sponging:

 

Plenty of owners and stand exhibitions spend the time cleaning their vehicles on the days before the show, but if you would like to give your car that last shine, then there is a water tap on site for you to use - just remember to bring those sponges!

 

There will be lots of photographs taken on the day, many of which will be submitted to the various car magazines for the aftershow article, including Banzai, Japanese Performance and Max Power.

 

Get those wheels shiny and get that bodywork polished! :)

 

 

Competitions:

 

There are awards available on the day for both Best I.C.E. and Show & Shine.

You can collect the entry forms from the Japan North Stand on the day and there is no fee to enter.

 

 

Food Court:

 

At Japan North 2008, we have a food court available, so there will be something to munch down on when you're a tad peckish!

 

 

Vehicle Forms:

 

Just a quick reminder to get those forms downloaded and displayed in your window, which are available towards the end of this thread.

 

 

All the best,

Jamie Rigby

::: Touring Car Appearance :::

 

 

Wheel Quick have arranged to bring the Matt Neal & Team Halfords Honda Integra Type R Touring Car...

 

This will be on display tomorrow at the show for you to take photos of and pose with!

 

 

All the best,

Jamie Rigby
