With The Show Only Being 40 Mins From My Home Town Of Lancaster I’D love To Bring My Gto To The Show And Also Talk To And Get To Know You Guys Before I Become A Full Member To Gtouk.
Also Could You Tell Me The Times Of The Show.

Many Thanks

Good afternoon everyone,

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS…

Here are the rules and regulations for the day - if these are adhered to, the event will go brilliantly and no doubt we won’t be refused the opportunity to use this venue again next year!

Firstly…

Requirements

You will be required to have in your windscren on arrival:

  1. Club Name
  2. Forum Name
  3. Registration Plate Number

Failure to have these details will result in the vehicle not being able to enter the event area for display on your club stand.

Times:

Entry to the venue for owners clubs and companies will begin at 07:30AM and end at 09:30AM. Cars after this time will not be able to access the stands.
This is according to Haigh Hall Country Park’s Health & Safety, 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 16:30 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 asked 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:

Once parked and arranged suitably, drivers are asked not to move their vehicle again until the close of the event at 16:30.

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 Lexus Owners Club 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 thank you for attending our first Japan North Car Event! Here’s to many more…

Regards,
Jamie

BTW: Decstarr added :wink:

Nice one all seams good.

It may be strange but I am with the GTOUK club but will be coming in a Lexus Soarer (Silver) It is my GTO support car because my gto is off road at mo.

I hope this will not cause to many problems.

Dann :lol:

Great Thanks For Adding Me To The Stand,See You At The Show.

Decstarr :stuck_out_tongue:

I have a problem… My GTO has developed a earthed wire problem and is off the road at the moment (I am stripping the dash out trying to locate the damaged wire! :frowning: ) I can’t see it being on the road in time. i would like to come though but won’t be able to bring my car… hope this is not to much of a problem! :frowning:

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.

All the best and I look forward to meeting you…

Best regards,
Jamie

Here is a map for entry. The entrance on the right hand side of the map is nearer to Aspull, whilst the other entrance on the left is nearer to Standish / Red Rock.

There will also be signs to indicate entrance to the venue.

Regards,
Jamie

Big thanks to Jamie for organising this! Top man!

It was a good overall turn out considering the weather and a great bunch of people turned up with some nice motors!

Shame about the lack of GTO’s though :roll:

There were photographers there from “Wigan Observer” and “Manchester Evening News” so keep a look out!

Looking forward to next years event! :smiley:

Hi there everyone,

Thank you to those that attended - it was really great to place faces to names to cars etc :slight_smile:

This was the very first Japan North Event and I hope that you will support next years, which will be much better - due to the feedback you supply.

Trade Stands will be much more in force, as the response this year was amazing, but sadly, due to most organising their Summer Holidays, this proved difficult. Despite this though, they still donated to the Raffle, which added to their potential for next year.

I was pleased to hear the responses as I greeted vehicles in the morning and then as they were leaving.

I’m sorry to those that I did not get chance to meet and introduce myself, it was so hectic all day, but I tried.

Thank you once again, I appreciate the effort of all that attended and supported the event. The first of many to come I hope…

Kind regards,
Jamie Rigby
Japan North Event Organiser.

I noticed OZZIE turn up but didn’t get chance for a chat cos I was wandering round all day! lol

Managed to have a brief chat with Zasurus, shame the gto wasn’t ready!

It was nice to have an event in the North West for a change! Shame there isn’t more of them!

Good to meet you Decstarr! Get that cheque in the post! :wink:

Thanks guys for letting me try your clutches! :slight_smile: It told me that mine is not right! :open_mouth:

Nice to meet a few other GTOUK members even if it was only for a bit before the rain drove us away! :smiley:

Hopefully I will get my GTO back on the road for the next event and can bring it with me! :wink:
