February Region News

Our December Christmas Dinner went off very well. Awards were presented to Mike Nixon to acknowledge his efforts with his latest Jaguar, Richard Govier providing 3 days of Dream Rides with the Sporting Bears Club at the NEC in November and Peter Davies supporting the Region with routing planning and help at meetings & shows.

Just prior to Christmas members visited the Keech Hospice for children & adults based near Luton and donated various Christmas treats for both residents and staff.

The very well attended January meeting included our Annual General Meeting, with a review of 2024 (posted on jec.org.uk) and Accounts showing how our Sponsorship was spent. Many thanks to RCM Products and E and E Services for supporting the Region. Andrew Baines from RCM presented the committee members with glass tumblers engraved with the JEC logo – much appreciated.

Discussion took place on future events. The 3-night trip to the North York Moors in May and then participating at several Shows in the Bedfordshire area starting in June.

Our member Rick Walker gave us a presentation on his participation in the 2024 Jaguar Championship Series with his XJS and X300. The videos illustrated various thrills and spills, not for the faint hearted.

We wish him well for the 2025 season, and we hope to spectate at the Donnington and Silverstone races.
