Anyone heard out about this show, I have seen on other sites that it has been canceled and on others it is going ahead but not at same venue etc also that it might clash with TOTB.
Anyone know on here what is going on ?

nice one so it is still on brillant.
hope his daughter is ok though.
looking forward to JAE it is one of the best shows.
dann :lol:
Fingers crossed they get something sorted out for it…! I hadn’t realised it didn’t turn a profit. :shock: If it came down to it then I think very few people would have an issue paying more for the ticket. I wouldn’t mind paying £20-£30 for it.
If I am home when they announce the dates, I am certainly up for a trip down again Andy!!! Im sure we will have a Scottish convoy again!!!
Probably be one of the only shows I could be tempted to make a trip over for if enough folks where up for it from here.
It would be worth it Samb…not only a good chance to see a very large collection of GTO’s (all differant) but also to wander around with a beer and see probably every type of Jap car imported into the UK…there are all age groups but the main thread is a few thousand petrol heads herded into a field…what more can you ask!

Sounds like a great way to spend a weekend to me, as long as the lovely British weather held up of course…
I had an e-mail from John (the organiser) today. Here is a bit of it:
JAE’s new permanent home for 2008 and beyond will be at Mersea Island on the East Coast.
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! Pictures will be posted up on the jae website and on facebook (links at the bottom) 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 (and a band!!!)
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
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
Various planned activities such as inter-club Its-a-Knockout competitions, interclub 5-a-side football and some themed in Japanese endurance- Takeshi’s Castle style!!
…… 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.
glad to hear it’s going ahead :bandance:
access to the island is tidal affected…that could be interesting!
It’ll be fine - we drive 4x4 cars…
29th to 31st August is getting booked off as soon as I in work Monday…maybe the days either side as well.
Yet no dates are up yet on the official site.

I pulled them from one of the forum posts on the link further up. Only thing thats a bit annoying is the new venue is 100 miles further south for us Scot’s to come down.
Sounds good to me, only an hour away so I can just drive over both days… 
Sounds excellent to me :lol:
Im up for a scottish convoy to this ( just need to plan holidays ).
