This is an email I have just received from the organiser, location change sadly but it is a little more central ish... Mersea Island couldn't cope apparently!?
I'll keep you all updated as and when I hear more.
Hi,
Well, what can I say? After some delays waaaay beyond my control we at last have not only an exciting new venue but have stuck with the show being late in the Summer. Well, after the fantastic weather in 2008 what else could we do?
The date wont be to everyone’s liking and I apologise that some clubs will probably already have things arranged that clash. But let’s hope the new venue is even better than last year – if that’s possible! – and that everyone will want to stay with the new venue and enjoy another fantastic JAE.
We have taken all the good things from 2008 and kept them but have now added even more for you to do! If we can keep the weather (minus the midges) we should have a really great show.
The date is now Friday 11 September to Sunday 13 September with Thursday open for clubs who want to get there early and set up. Thursday will be an all ticket affair however to prevent too many gatecrashers and let the club people do their thing and get everything organised. By the way the 10th is my birthday so make sure you bring lots of presents if you’re coming early! J
The venue is now Wicksteed Park, after M.I. and another venue found they could not accommodate us. Wicksteed is a fantastic venue and has a lot to offer (http://www.wicksteedpark.co.uk/default.aspx):
*
Lake
*
Go-kart oval
*
Fully stocked fishing lake
*
Fairground
*
Roller coaster
*
18 hole crazy golf
*
Putting green
*
Playground for younger children
Add to that all the things we have arranged for you:
*
Five-a-side football
*
Tug of War
*
It’s a knockout competition
*
Easing competition
*
Karaoke
*
Band
*
Disco
*
New and much bigger show n shine!
Then add the new stuff that we are still working on and this promises to take JAE to yet another level!
