Some details via this link of the event in June.

Thanks for that David, I looked on their web site last night and saw nothing. I'm sure I'll take this one in. Only just up the road.

Hi Rob,
many years ago the venue at Doune used to be a car museum if I'm not mistaken. Went a few times to the classic shows to look at the Triumphs as my father worked in Coventry for a few years.

Thought I might even the balance of all you Northeners. Glad to hear you're still cleaning the car Joe!

Not much liklihood that I'll get to Northern Day but planning to make it to "our" Day..

Best wishes from a sunny if a little chilly Gosport

Gordon,if you go to the Fathers Day event at Harewood, there is a proposed Jaguar stand for any Jag wishing to have a group stand, instead of Jags all over the place, you pay a small fee to exhibit on top of your entrance fee........the three main Yorkshire JEC regions will be there so why not join in, brings back memories of days gone by having a large contingent of Jags (and some rather nice Daimlers too) its a big enough show even for the raffle car to attend...

[GordonJ]

It's my intention to go to this show, my pal might go as well with his XJS. I'll know more on Monday night after our meeting and let you know then

If my car is up to scratch by June (and I hope it will be) then I will most likely make an appearance at the Harewood House event

[joejag308]

There is always the JEC Northern Day at Newby Hall too...... A must be there event .....

[giblet]

The Northern day is my priority meet up. JoeJag308, are you a member on the Detailing World forum? I may have spoken to you on there quite a while back, the car certainly rings a bell.

[joejag308]

Giblet, I am a member of sorts in the detailing mob get to meets when possible, but most are a bit of a distance to go,.....im surprised that with a city the size of Leeds there are no other meet ups ......but ive just done my first detail using my rotary after having the thing for 2 years its come out OK, its got rid of the swirls ect, now its the final finish that's the decider.....I have found out a very good final finish application but its not for the purists in the forum, my limitations as to mobility is my problem. But there are products to overcome that by being easy to apply and easy to buff to a finish........I am in Leeds 27, any time you fancy a meet or a chat let me know I will be at Fathers Day Harewood, and Northern Day Newby Hall also so don't be shy I don't bite .....Joe

I'm also surprised at the lack of local meets. I attended one over at Shinerama in Manchester last year, it was a rather informative training day held by Kelly from KDS Keltec. He does some amazing work on some rather top end cars. I have only managed to correct half my bootlid so far due to the weather, that was with my G220 DA machine but I still need to work on my plan of attack as a few rds marks still remain.

Thanks for the PM, I will give you a shout to arrange up a meet. Cheers
