FANCY DRESS - SATURDAY NIGHT - We will be joining Delsol UK in the fancy dress competition and the theme is POP STARS!
Where? - The venue is Wicksteed Park, which is the same place as JAE 2011 and 2010. Wicksteed is a fantastic venue and has a lot to offer in addition to the planned JAE events/competitions the park also has the following:

The owners groups - From the higher spec 300ZX, GTR’s, MX5’s and Lexus, to the less flamboyant Starlets, Micra’s and Alto’s. All are friendly, welcoming and more than happy to show you their cars and explain all about them, some of which are simply outstanding and a real honour to spend time looking at.

Location
We are in
H0, H1, H2, I1, I2, J1, J2
S2000 Stand
Without doubt the best organised and laid out group area of the show. The S2KUK stand is located close to all facilities and events, with power being supplied from the club stand, in addition the showers and loos within a very close walking (or staggering) distance. The S2KUK tented area is situated within the clubs own ‘pitch’ which is nice to know you will be close to your pride and joy (albeit after several senior Tizers/wines/Absinths, you will probably be in no fit state to admire it!).
Food of course is a must, and again the club provide cooking facilities and some food stuffs, so everyone can get the chance (if they wish) to cremate breakfast, lunch and diner! During the evenings (if you're still awake), the sounds of the resident S2KUK DJ always attract people in to the stand from all over JAE (mainly for the great music, and also watch in disbelief at the sustained level of horrific moves from the S2KUK dancers!).
Summary - Whether you’re a regular to JAE or a first-timer, all are welcome, everybody is willing to help each other and nothing is too much trouble. The JAE party atmosphere is definitely the main thread throughout weekend. For the hyperactive amongst you, there is plenty to do, see and join in with. Alternatively or you can just relax, kick back and join the serious socialites with a beer (or multiples of!) either way you will find it hard not to enjoy yourself. After dark, the owner’s club parties really start as the music is ramped up (within reason…the law and all that!) plus a fantastic organised firework display on the Saturday night.
