::: 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!

Pete - Please can you tell me which members are not attending so that I may update the attendees sheet? Cheers, Jamie

Good evening all, Please read the following few items...

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.

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.

Good morning all, I just wanted to update you with a few items for the show: Website Launch: The Japan North website has been launched, which will be offering all the latest information on the show, along with raffle prizes, attendance and other detail: http://www.JapanNorth.co.uk Raffle: We have had even more fantastic prizes been offered to the show from supporting companies recently and all these will be announced shortly, both on the website and on the forums. Trophies: We will be giving away a selection of Trophies this year for the following: Best I.C.E. Show & Shine Club Attendance There will be three forms on the raffle Stand on the day of the show, which you may complete to enter into either the "Best ICE" or "Show & Shine". These will be drawn later in the day, along with the "Club Attendance" trophy, which will be chosen based on the most impressive club stand presence. Event Sponsors: We have had some more support from companies for the event recently, which includes Andy at Just-Nissan.co.uk - He is sponsoring the event this year and contributing toward its development. Your Club: Are there any more attendees that wish to join your club stand? Please remember there are no entry costs, all we do ask is for a donation on entry, which is for the supported charities. All the best, Jamie

....Oh and just to add - good response so far from this club - keep it up :) Jamie

Good evening all, Just thought I'd check to see if we have any additional updates from your club? Kind regards, Jamie

If you count yourself in, then you'll contribute to making that stand :) Well, with regards to numbers, obviously the more the merrier and remember that it isn't costing the club a penny - all I ask is that on entry you make a donation. Isn't really a lot to ask considering the prices of shows around the UK. If you can gather at least 5 then that should be a good start... Regards, Jamie

If you are able to raise the members to be on the stand then you are more than welcome to have one... That would be great :) Cheers, Jamie

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. http://www.japannorth.co.uk/ Here is the Club Link from last year's event for some past information: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=917836 Here are some images from last year's event: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=42784&st=260 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: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=13809992074 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, Who's Going +------------------------+ + turb0z + Graham S + Quavey + zogg + Steve + red dragon + Coopers-SWB (maybe) + lammypie + Andyduff & Saz + OneSHOT +------------------------+ Kind regards, Jamie Rigby 07754 741 862 Japan North Organiser N.B.

Hi there all, When you make your way to the show tomorrow, please be aware that there are a few other shows on called Haigh Show, around the area that we are having ours. Please look for the Japan North Logo below: If you do not see this, then the sign you have seen is not for the car show. Also, Haigh Hall have a Sunday Carvery, which is on until 4pm tomorrow, so you could always book onto that tomorrow for some tea before leaving if you wished.
