Club Torque We are fast approaching the AGM of the club and I invite any interested members to consider nominating for the club Executive Committee. I am retiring as President after three years in the role. I would like to congratulate the executive for their professionalism, commitment and dedication in working for the membership of the club. I wish to acknowledge the work of three other executive members who have also indicated they are retiring at the AGM - Alan Bartram has been a very efficient & supportive Secretary, Dane Wilden has produced excellent Classic Marques, and Robin Ide has been a dedicated register secretary.
The President’s Rap
The next few months are very busy with motoring events and activities. It is pleasing to see that we are still getting great involvement of members in all events. Our next whole of club event is the Annual SA Jag Day to be held on Sunday 20th October at Civic Park Modbury. We are also having Cats & Cans again supporting the work of the Salvation Army. SA Jag Day is a very popular event and I encourage all members to bring along their vehicles (no matter what the condition) and take part. It would be great to see some restoration projects there as well.
first Tuesday 3rd December as a social evening downstairs. Meals will also be available with a slightly restricted menu. Thank you to all members for your ongoing support of our great club. Enjoy Happy & Safe Motoring,

Club Torque Welcome back to another edition of Classic Marque, and my final as editor. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading these issues of Classic Marque over the past three years as much as I’ve enjoyed putting them together for you. The role of Editor is not a simple one and requires a great deal of dedication and work to produce one 26 to 30 page issue per month (and many late nights!). I’d like to thank all of those who have contributed to the magazine during my tenure; your submissions, no matter how small or simple, have helped make the magazine what it is today. This edition contains a great deal on information on club operations
Editor’s Column
and governance - the AGM is fast approaching, after all! I encourage you to read through the reports and minutes within to gain a better understanding of how your club operates behind the scenes. I also encourage you to consider nomination for a role on the Executive Committee, where you’ll be able to share your ideas and contribute to the operation and future direction of this organisation. As we enter Spring, you’ll notice a great increase in the number of motoring events held in and around Adelaide; these present the perfect opportunity to get the Jag out of the garage and on to the road. Keep an eye on the JDCSA Club Calendar on the
website for the most up-to-date information on events happening near you. Don’t forget the 2019 Bay to Birdwood Classic will be held on Sunday 29th September whether you’re participating or spectating, I hope you enjoy it! I will continue on as a contributor to Classic Marque and encourage you all once again - as always - to submit stories, photos, reports, and anecdotes to the future Editor. Thank you all once again for you support, suggestions, photographs, stories, and for sharing your reading time with me. Happy motoring,
Dane

Australian Council of Jaguar Clubs—ACJC Chairman’s Report—August 2019 Committee Members and Meetings The start of the 2018-2019 year for The Council saw 3 new delegates: John Flynn (NSW) who took on the position of Treasurer, Jim Reid (QLD) who has offered to take on the role of Secretary in the new year and Kent Harbutt (TAS). Following the first couple of meetings it was clear that we need to develop an induction process for new delegates to bring them up to speed with their role and the current status of events within the Council. A thank you to John Lynn for taking on the Treasurer’s role and his perseverance in getting the bank signatures changes was a “baptism of fire” and we appreciate that. Our esteemed Secretary Larry Roux is retiring this AGM and has undertaken the Secretary role with professional aplomb and his minutes were always completed in a timely and accurate manner along with the unenviable task of collating articles and responses for the Andrew Whitely and Paul Skilleter awards. During the year the Council moved to the electronic Zoom meetings which have allowed us to have bi-monthly meetings at a cost of around $40 per meeting compared to many thousands to fly delegates into Sydney only twice per year. Future Issues – The Value of The Council? Much discussion was undertaken within both our meetings and with a survey to constituent clubs (with no success) to create some clarity around the Council’s; 1. Purpose 2. Long term value 3. National Rally involvement 4. Relationship with JLRA 5. Sponsorship possibilities, and 6. Need to better communicate with constituent clubs The final outcome was: 1. There is a perceived need to have a collective voice for Jaguar Clubs 2. JLRA will determine the relationship with the Council, but it will take time to re-establish 3. Jaguar National Rallies on an annual basis are considered imperative 4. Rebuild the Council’s website 5. Need to create a broader value proposition JLRA Relationship The year opened up with Jaguar Land Rover Australia (JLRA) challenging the Council’s relationship generally and the level of potential sponsorship towards the National Rally. National Rallies The JNR in Wodonga was very successful with accolades across all State attendees. Wodonga was a concours event and despite there being a small number of participants it was identified as being all important. WA NR in 2020 and Tasmania’s in 2021 will not be concours events so the importance of both Sydney and Melbourne to carry the torch has been elevated. The trophies used for the Rally and those which have been archived are in the process of being valued which will allow the Council to appropriately insure them. JCCV have offered to continue to include the trophy insurance as part of the broader insurance policy (at the Council’s cost) which will save many dollars against a single use policy. During the year and thanks to Ian Hissey (Past Chairman) we received new Ian Callum Trophy via James Scrimshaw (JLRA). It is a very unique and contemporary looking trophy and we are very lucky to be in possession of it. An insurance value of $10,000 was identified by Jaguar UK making it a valuable trophy. Future Issues and 2019-2020 year Next year will see, among other issues the Council debating: • Is our membership too narrow and what other options should be explored? • The continuing development and re-establishment of the JLRA relationship. • Ensuring ongoing sponsorship from JLRA towards our National Rallies. • What the impact on the National Rallies with only Sydney & Melbourne facilitating concours and whether the timetable will need to be tweaked. What would the impact be if membership was opened up? • Council delegates induction process. I would like to thank all delegates on the Council for their; attendance at the meetings—particularly with the changing digital format, diligence in the debate of our future and willingness to explore broader issues to ensure the Council remains relevant.

She emphasised how appreciative the Salvos were of the support that comes from ‘Cats and Cans’. Fatemah then told us about the support that she and her family have had from the Salvos and how she now volunteers and what that means to her. After a few questions from the floor, Julian thanked Kylie and Fatemeh for their presentations.

JAGUAR DRIVERS CLUB OF SA INC Minutes of 2018 Annual General Meeting Held on Tuesday 4th September 2018 at The Police Club, 27 Carrington St, Adelaide, SA 5000 Meeting Open: 8:05 pm Welcome: President Julian Lugg welcomed all and especially Patron Peter Holland Present: as per attendance list Apologies: as per the attendance list Minutes of Previous Meeting: 5th September 2017. Approved as included in Classic Marque— September 2018. Business Arising: Nil President’s Report – Julian Lugg The highlight of the last 12 months has undoubtedly been the Jaguar National Rally 2018 held here in South Australia. I congratulate National Rally Director Di Adamson, with Suzanne Jarvis, Peter Thomas and the organising committee for their outstanding work in offering a rally with a different format. A feature of the rally was the extensive club support. It was held over eight days with four days in the Barossa followed by four days around Victor Harbor. The rally also celebrated the 70th anniversary of the XK120. There was overwhelming national support with every event having record numbers. The success of the rally will further promote some new developments in ACJC (Australian Council of Jaguar Clubs). The great strength of our club I believe is the registers. Whilst we have continued great attendance at our general meetings it is through the registers that most club members are involved. I must pay tribute to our register secretaries who coordinate the registers and maintain communication. Well done to Peter & Heather Buck, Angela & David Rogers, Bob Charman, Robin Ide, Alan Baker, and Bob Kretschmer with support from Malcolm Adamson. (Thank you to Ron Palmer & Tim White for their previous roles as register secretaries.) The executive committee of our club is a great group of enthusiasts who work tirelessly for the welfare of the club. Vice President Phil Prior, Secretary Alan Bartram, Treasurer Tim White, membership secretary Daphne Charman, Editor Dane Wilden and Event Coordinators Jim & Arcadia Komaromi deserve special mention as your elected committee. We have been fortunate to have the continued support of Dave Burton as our logbook officer for Club Registration. The changes in registration I think have also resulted in some increased club membership. It has been great to see our club members promoting the Jaguar marque with involvement in a wide range of motoring activities including All British Day, The British Classic Tour, Bay to Birdwood, All Euro Day, Moonta Show & Shine, Drive Your Old Car Day, and Coffee & Cars. We thank our cub patron Peter Holland for his continued support of our club. Thank you also to all club members for your support over the past 12 months. Vice President’s Report – Philip Prior THE BOTTOM LINE No matter how you look at it this past 12 months has been another great year for our club and it has been a pleasure to be your Vice President. If we ask the question, “What makes a great club?” There will be many different answers. But for me as I look back over the past year the thing that stand out more than anything else is “people”. A club is only as great as its members. Our club is called, the Jaguar “Drivers” Club of South Australia, and the emphasis here is deliberate and so important.
The Official Monthly Magazine of the Jaguar Drivers Club of South Australia

So it is that we have many people to thank as we look back over the past year. Our club is made up of great people, and it is the inclusive attitudes of our members, where all kinds of people are welcome and made to feel at home that is so important. So first of all I say thank you to all our members. We have a great team of people who make up our Executive Committee, who give many hours of their time to ensure the club runs smoothly. In particular I acknowledge the leadership of our President, Julian Lugg, our retiring Treasurer, Tim White and the Register Secretaries who have such an important role to play in communication and care of members. We have valued your leadership. Every year we see individuals and teams of people working together to organise events and outings. It has been so again this year. These many people deserve our thanks. The standout event this year of course was the 49th National Jaguar Rally. A huge thankyou goes to Di Adamson as Rally Director. But there were an additional 38 members who were involved in the organisation and running of the rally. An amazing number of people who gave their time over many months to ensure the success of the rally. Just another demonstration of the health of our club. To all of you we say thank you. So there are lots of people participating up front.... but then behind the scenes so many others give of their time often with little recognition or acknowledgement. There are our Vehicle Inspectors, our reps on other committees like All British Day, MSCA and FHMV. Those who look after our library, regalia, membership, log books, Classic Marque, web pages and Facebook and club events coordination. None of this stuff just happens magically by itself, real people... give generously of their time month after month on behalf of the club. We say to you all, thank you. Finally on the theme of “people” we are grateful for the growth in membership we have experienced this year. (95 new members) and in particular a number of younger members have joined the club. Another great sign of the club’s health. We can now look forward to another great year in the months ahead. Secretary’s Report – Alan Bartram Alan sends his thanks for your ongoing support throughout the year. Treasurer’s Report - Tim White Overall we have total assets of $87,743.56 (2017 - $75,262.31), which includes term deposits of $28,139.30 (2017 - $27,113.11). The result for the financial year was more than our budget with a surplus of $9,814.25. A number of benefits and subsidies (direct & indirect) were passed onto members in a number of ways throughout the year. For example: presentation dinner, SA Jag Day, Christmas general meetings, calendars and register support. These benefits total some $16,434 (2017 - $18,346; 64%) or 52% of total income for this year. This represents some 59% of your membership subscriptions.LINE THE BOTTOM The Jaguar National Rally was an outstanding success with around 80 more registrations received than originally budgeted for. Whilst we spent thousands more dollars on key events due to the increased income to provide added benefits for delegates we still achieved an overall surplus of $6,385.94. In addition, the ACJC grant of $7,000 was refunded. We increased the membership fees this year and given the National Rally income this has allowed us to defer any further rises for the foreseeable future.
The Official Monthly Magazine of the Jaguar Drivers Club of South Australia

A big thank you to Simon Mudie from Eastwoods for doing the Audit again this financial year. We will continue to take where possible a long-term approach to our financial position so that the club is well positioned for the future to weather any “unknown unknowns”, not simply providing short term benefits which have no real member payback. Tim thanked everyone for his support over the past 11 years as Treasurer. He will continue on in other roles. I MOVE that the audited financial statements for the year ended 30th June 2018 be accepted. Editor’s Report – Dane Wilden The past 12 months have been very busy indeed, both for the club, and me personally. As you’re well aware, in 2018 JDCSA hosted the National Rally, which was documented thoroughly in Classic Marque with a pictorial report across two issues, the end product of which I was very pleased with. These issues proved popular with members, and gave those who were unable to attend a glimpse at the festivities and fun experienced by all who participated. Again, I want to thank members for their contributions to the magazine, because without your valuable input, I would have very little to put together each month! This year bought about a change in employment for me, and with that, a reduction in my availability. I want to thank members for their understanding when monthly magazines ran a little late, and want you to rest assured I have done my best to provide you with the best club magazine possible. Statistics available from our on-line publishing partner ISSU demonstrate that Classic Marque plays an important role in informing active club members, and engaging members who are unable to attend monthly meetings or register gatherings. I am delighted to report that the average readership for each issue of Classic Marque published since October of last year has increased by approximately 20% YTD, to approximately 172 reads per issue. Each issue produced an average reading time of 35 minutes, consistent with figures calculated and provided during the 2017 report. “Impressions” – that is, each time a Classic Marque publication is advertised to an Issuu user – have decreased slightly on last year’s figures, due to the implementation Issuu’s new “user pays” system in February of this year. The JDCSA does not pay a subscription fee to Issuu, and therefore does not purchase advertisement on the platform. Average impressions per issue this year have remained a respectable average of 1,165 per issue. Looking ahead, it is my intention to continue the migration towards a digital future for the magazine, whilst not abandoning our loyal hard-copy subscribers. As we progress, the committee and club will need to consider efficiencies in the production of the club magazine. This may result in slight changes to format or frequency, but rest assured that I will continue to deliver our readership the highest quality publication and source of information on all things Jaguar related. I intend to continue to foster our relationship with key stakeholders and sponsors of the club and Classic Marque, including major sponsor Solitaire, who assist in the provision of the latest information on the Jaguar range direct from the UK. Members can look forward to more road tests of Jaguar’s newest models, and a national and global perspective on the Jaguar Land Rover company, while resting assured that Classic Marque remains a club-oriented magazine, where members continue to make the biggest contributions. Finally, I want to continue to encourage members to contribute to the club magazine. Photographs, reports, stories, anecdotes, advice – anything (within reasonable good taste!) is welcome, and I thank those who have contributed this pastTHE year, making the magazine BOTTOM LINE as strong as it is today. Reports all moved and accepted by the members. General Business: Life membership Nomination Julian spoke of the rules regarding life membership as per the constitution.

Office Bearer Elections: All positions were declared vacant and returning officer Patron Peter Holland took the chair. Peter thanked the committee that has served the club over the past 12 months.

The team surrounding this event were also thanked for their efforts.
