SOCIAL EVENTS Soiree at Julie & Ray’s Place - Sat 16th June
2012
By Jan Fels This year we held our Soiree at Julie and Ray's home
at Kelso, which was a great night and we thank them for such a
lovely evening.
For those who did not attend you missed a great night. Ray
decided to give Reg some competition and made a damper which he
cooked in his pizza oven. It looked and tasted great but all
members decided that both dampers were evenly matched.
Reg also cooked the corned beef in a large metal container over
the open fire and the roast beef in a camp oven. Julie made the
white sauce, gravy and all the vegetables, potatoes, carrots,
onions and cabbage were cooked in the metal container. Thanks Reg
for a lovely dinner.
Lastly we ended with desserts which were made by the girls.
After dinner some of us sat around the fire while the others played
pool. A truly lovely evening and we thank Julie and Ray. It was
good to have Monica and John from Cairns and Wendy, David and Jim
from the Tablelands join us. We appreciate you coming so far for
the weekend. Through a communication "hiccup" our friends from the
Proserpine Restorers Club did not attend this year but we hope they
will join us next year.

ALL BRITISH DAY..JUNE 17TH 2012 By Jan Fels What a beautiful day
we had for All British Day, the sun was shining and all the cars
were shining along with all the people it was a magic day. We thank
the Cathedral School and Jenny Ullman and the ladies in the
canteen. The food was terrific and the Cathedral school grounds
were a picture of perfection. It is such a joy to hold our All
British Day at the School with its lovely setting. Our thanks also
to 4TTT for the terrific music. Peter Dixon did a marvellous job
not only buying and making up the raffle basket but also selling
all the tickets with the help of Alan Collins. This year we had 28
cars on display which was great, must admit the Marque had about 34
cars so hopefully next year we can get more Jaguars for display. On
the day we signed up three new members, we welcome them. Judy Liles
has rejoined, Judy was a member in Peter Carlson days and owns the
snazzy looking red E Type convertible that many people thought Reg
had bought. Sadly that was not true and we welcome Judy back into
the Club. The Jaguar Club donated the trophies and these were won
by.... Best Car won by owner Roaul Cook for his 1977 Triumph Stag.
Best Motorbike owner Geoff Hinspeter for his 1929 Ariel Model E.
Best Display was won by the Vintage Stationary Engines.
Congratulations to those people.
Each year Jim Lewis brings his XK140 and MK7 for display. Jim
lives in Charters Towers and for him to get the cars here he brings
one car down on the Thursday and leaves it at a friend's place then
he catches the bus back to Charters Towers, collects the other car
then drives that down on Friday.
All has to be reversed when the show is over, so we thank you
Jim for showing your cars and going to so much trouble. When Jim
lived in Richmond he did the same but had to catch the train back
which was a seven
and half hour train trip. Our thanks to many other members who
bring multiple cars for display, it takes a lot of effort and time
and we thank you all for showing your cars. Each year we have
trouble getting advertising space and this year we thank Sue who
was able to get our notice printed in the Community Notice Board
plus the "10 events for this weekend" segment, thanks Sue. A big
thank you to all the Clubs that joined us, it was great to see so
many of you and we hope you will join us again next year. Our
thanks also to David Moore and his team from Tony Ireland Motors
who displayed the latest Jaguars and Range Rovers. It was good to
see so many people looking at your vehicles and hope you sold
heaps. Lastly a big thank you to our Jaguar Club Members who helped
set up and brought their cars along so everyone could enjoy them.
See you next year.

STORIES ABOUT OUR MEMBERS by Jan Fels
Who was the fellow who decided to spray the innards of his
window? He took out a few bolts so he could spray around and whoops
the window slipped down and off its tracks.
It took Reg hours to get the window working and this fellow
reckons he will never do that again as it also cost him $150.
We wish Julie and Ray all the best for their holiday, have a
great time and Julie just watch those fellows in Italy they love
blondes and bottoms!!!
Who are the couple who have already booked in to the Motel for
Christmas Dinner? That is keen……..
What about Reg and his entrance to the Cathedral School, we know
Reg you were thrilled to drive the E Type but did you have to toot
the horn all the way in.
We hope Frank and Glenys had a good trip to Darwin for the V8’s;
we missed you at the All British.
Wonder which couple walked away at the All British and left
their chairs behind: by all accounts they did not miss them until
later that night.
Who was the fellow who worked a 12 hour shift then flew from
Mackay to Townsville to collect his car which has had part time
restoration taking 8 months? After all that time hope he enjoys the
car.
Which fellow collided with another car while driving around a
roundabout? He says it was the other fellow but we do wonder. We
hear its back on the road now having been fixed!!!!!
