2025 Membership Drive Is Underway
Another year has passed! Our 2024 Concours held in June at St. Josephs Villa in conjunction with the Richmond chapter of teh Antique Automobile Club of America was a success, but now a new year is upon us.
The heart of every club like VJC is strong membership and membership support. The Virginia Jaguar Club has just amazingly completed its first 25 years and moving forward VJC wants YOU to continue on with the joy of Jaguar ownership in 2025.
In keeping up with the modern tech world we all live in, there are now two ways that you willbe able to revew (or join) in membership in 2025.
Shortly, this will be coming on line. You can (still) fill out the on-line PDF form currently on the “Join” link in the right sidebar and print it out and mail in with a check, or pay electronically by downloading ad filling out the on-screen webform, emailing that to the membership manager and pay o-line with SQUARE or (coming shortly) using PAYPAL Stay tuned.
2024 Concours Results (Finally) Approved by JCNA!
After working through many technical and logistical problems with the JCNA scoring system, our concours was finally approved by JCNA and is now OFFICIAL. Here are the entrants and their scores:
Historic Gathering of VJC Presidents @ 2024 Concours
A wonderful happenstance at this year’s Concours occured at the social hour at The Crossings Pub & Lounge the day before the show where — a significant time in VJC history — where (almost!) all the previous club presidents were together. Missing unfortunately from this picture is Dr. Ron Gaertner who was in command during the zenith of VJC’s history during the national Jaguar show AGM in 2013, which was also held here at The Crossings.
Seated in the center is Virginia Jaguar Club founder and first president Wayne Estrada. To his right and on the left of this photo is David Harrison, having served a decade for VJC and olding longest tenure in this office. Dr. Gaertner (not in this picture) served immediately after Mr. Harrison. On the far right is Bill Sihler, our last president and standing is VJC’s current president, Brian Trickett.
Interestingly enough, in the spirit of true British/American cogenality, David and Brian are both Brits while Ron, Wayne and Bill are from 'this side of the pond.'
This was an event to remember and a nice cap to the beginning of our 2024 Concours. Hope to see you all again next year!
