Register Reports & Minutes

Our Annual Jag Day at Civic Park, Modbury was a resounding success with some 132 cars on display and great weather. Editor of Classic Marque, (Graham Franklin), will be covering the event in the November and December issues. Another great day at ‘Climb To The Eagle’ on Fri 5 Nov 21 in perfect weather. Amazing array of vehicles formed up in front of the grandstand at Victoria Park and after morning tea at Blackwood Oval, a good run down to Victor Harbor. We were very pleased to see such a good rollup at Richmonds for our October meeting and thanked Andy Morgan for hosting us to a display of some 70 splendid vehicles at their showroom together with an overview of the workshop and storage facilities. Also, if you are planning to attend ‘Twilight At The Zoo’ on 28 Nov, don’t forget to register pronto or you may miss out. Unfortunately, we have been informed at the closure of entries (31 Oct 21) for All British Day at Echunga on Sun 13 Feb 22, that only 15 E Types had been registered for the featured display in the centre of the large oval. Although we enquired whether any additional entries would be accepted it is definitely closed. Over 700 general entries have been received of which we hope there are plenty of Jaguars and Daimlers included. Christmas Get-together 18th November. For our end of year register meeting, we organised a Christmas Get-together with a dinner at the Kensington Hotel, 23 Regent St, Kensington, SA 5068. Many partners came along and the Kensington made us feel very welcome. The staff were terrific and the meals were excellent. The presence of female company helped to keep conversations to a more general persuasion and not just about cars. A great evening. That’s all for now!
