I recieved a little info on jae 2008. I thought i would put it here for all to read so that you all know the situation

Hello,

For the last few years Claire and I have been running JAE and in that time we have seen it grow whilst still retain the spirit and of what the event is all about. This year it has been quiet of late due to changes for the event. Admittedly we should have notified people earlier but it's not always easy to keep everything up to date and for that I apologise.

After being backed into a corner last year by the showground we decided to look at how we could keep the event alive and make it even better. As a result of some discussions a company came forward to take the show over and run it professionally. For months we have been in discussions with them and recently they have stopped returning our calls despite giving us a verbal assurance and a handshake on taking over the event. Now it seems they may not be as forthcoming as they were in 2007.

JAE WILL TAKE PLACE for 2008 and announcements are due very soon.

As in previous years forms and details of the venue and dates will be with you very soon. In addition we will try and offer better facilities for advanced tickets to make the whole event a much easier affair 'on the day'.

Thank you and most sincerest of apologies for not keeping everyone up to speed with progress.

Thank you

Who are you?

OK here's a breakdown for you.

ZXOCMARS broken down becomes ZXOC + MARS

MARS = ADMIN on www.zxoc.co.uk.

MARS = Organized JAE for ZXOC last year.

Thought they'd have had the decency to mail me too.

Maybe they lost your email address.

Anyway, that email says nothing. Just says business as usual.

Dunno, how much did it work out for you last year?

I won't be going anyway, it really don't appeal to me

can't remember now mart, but i moaned as usual, then when i payed on the gate, they turned a blind eye to tasha, so i can't complain

, i go just to get out for the weekend and its usually a good laugh, despite all the bad weather quite a few turned up and rob turbo turned up with his disco mate

, i hope he will be sorting the tunes this year, i do like the weekend at santa pod better, it could do with a few turning up there with the markee.

JAE works out as one of the cheapest events of the year.

You can turn up Friday, pay £15 per car, and stay there til Monday.

Santa Pod is probably next best,

Oulton Park is probably the most expensive, can't remember exact figures, but for me and the missus would've been £90 for 2 days plus 1 night camping.

they did charge £15 per car, but last year they charged me per person in the car, which was expensive with 6 people.
