Here's all the info....
Traditionally JAE has always been the start of the Summer Holidays and, despite thunder storms, floods and even a hurricane we have stuck to that date and accommodated TOTB by moving forward. Looking at the weather (this is the UK after all!) maybe July is never the right time? But we wanted it to be at a time when as many people could find the time and also when the whole family could come along – if they wanted! So, we have after much consideration agreed to move it to the last weekend of August. Not only is this better weather but its still school holiday time and should give us a much better event to round off the Summer. In addition to moving to the weekend of 29-31 August the event just got bigger and is now 3 DAYS of JAE!!! Thursday is now set up day and the activities start in earnest on Friday morning for those that wish to make it a full weekend away. We hope you like it! JAE at Billing was fine at that time but JAE out-grew the location which is when we moved to Peterborough.This was a step in the right direction as it gave us a much bigger venue to allow in all the clubs who wanted to come to JAE but in moving to Peterborough we lost some of what made JAE so special so the task was on to find the perfect venue which would give the sparkle back to JAE and worked on the overall atmosphere of the event which we all know makes it different from any other in the year. We have now found JAE's new permanent home and confirmed the venue and dates for the next 3 years. JAE's new permanent home for 2008 and beyond will be at Mersea Island which just outside Colchester. The show venue is over 60 acres and has a huge amount of potential for us, already catering for club and enthusiast shows all year round and with some amazing facilities on site - we're amazed we managed to miss it previously as its perfect for JAE! I will post up some pictures tomorrow of things to expect at the new location but, for now, let me just share with you SOME what we have to offer at JAE's new home: Loads of parking on a totally secure site Full Bar and off- sales Japanese themed bar and special hot and cold SAKE bar Large function room with permanent DJ facilities and stage Outdoor hard standing marquee for live bands Indoor trade area as well as outdoor pitches Speedboat with inflatable banana ride experiences from the Beach Yes, you read right - a beach!! - which is part of the site Log cabins for families and groups with electric and heating as well as the vast camping areas as usual Various planned activities such as inter-club Its-a-Knockout competitions ( inc 5 a side football ), some themed in Japanese endurance- Takeshi's Castle style!! Full food village as well as a huge canteen which will be providing not only dinner for those who grow tired of junk food but also each morning the canteen will provide full English breakfasts, served up in true dinner-lady style - Previously an important detail which was missing from JAE for the morning after a night socialising ….. but best of all, the venue is really quiet and in the middle of nowhere so we can make as much noise as we like and go on for as long as we like. But if you’re worried about too much noise we have an area completely set aside as a quiet camping for those who may have families etc as the site is designed to cater for all, making it even more family friendly in certain parts of the site to ensure everyone has a great time. SO LETS GET THE LIST OF NAMES STARTED.... 1) Claire & Jon 2) Shaun, Stella,kids minus tasha 3) 4) 5) Last edited by Claire; 01-02-2008 at 13:52.

, should be a good crack then, i did have second thoughts with it being so far away, if the fj is in it will probly be a nightmare to drive it that far, but as stella has pointed out, it would be good to get away with the kids, lets hope the bloody weather is good.
