Host of the 2017 International Jaguar Festival

This is really great, so please read this.During this time of Covid, several members have expressed concerns about attending our Judges Training on August 15th. Paul Immerman and Ellen Meshnick reached out and suggested we offer our training on Zoom as well as in person. For the first time, and with their invaluable guidance, we can offer training both in person as well as on Zoom. Below are directions on how to connect to the meeting, which will begin at 10:30 AM, Saturday, August 15th.

Helpful tips:• Use your full name when you log in

• Mute yourself when you aren’t actively talkingIn order to streamline the training, I ask all those who want to participate to make themselves familiar with what is required to know and complete the test prior to the 15th. This should take approximately 1-2 hours to complete. Here is what you will need to do:

1. Go to the JCNA website Concourse page. The rules are listed on the first page as “Chapters I – VI”

and “Appendix A – E.”2. Review the “Judge Refresher Training Power Point

Presentation (AUG 17).”3. Print the “2019 Judge Blank Answer Sheet;” it’s on

the same line as the “Judge Test.” 4. Click on the “2019 Judge Test.” Please note, every

question contains the Chapter and Page Number where the answer can be found.

5. Place your answers on the “2019 Judge Blank Answer Sheet.”

6. Be sure to enter your information at the top of the answer sheet. Note: Our region is SE and our club number is 57.

7. Scan your answer sheet and email it to [email protected] or mail it to Philip DiTrolio – 4825 Kettle River Pt. – Suwanee, GA 30024.

If you’re attending the training in person, you can also bring your completed answer sheet with you; if not return your answer sheet prior to the training date so we can promptly submit them to the JCNA for certification. If you would like to attend the training in person, we will be meeting at Georgia Expo- 3355 Martin Farm Rd.- Suwanee, GA 30024 @ 10:00 AM. Lunch will be catered. In addition to the training, we are planning on having several members’ Jaguars inside our warehouse so we can sample judge the cars. So far, we have a couple of E Types, XK8s, and an XJ. We would still like to have other models available, XK 120 – 140, etc. If everyone completes their test prior to August 15th, the review should take fewer than 2 hours, and then we can get to the fun part: playing with our cars!

Along with the arrival of the hot humid Georgia summer came news that the Norcross British Car Fayre and the Chattanooga Concours have cancelled due to the current virus concerns. On a positive note we are still planning on hosting our nineteenth annual NGJC Concours on Sunday, October 25. Our Concours is one of our best attended club events and Roy Cleveland has worked with the Chattahoochee Country Club to create outdoor dining opportunities that will ensure good social distancing for our club members and guests. Registration will open the first of August. Also, our annual Judges Training is scheduled for Saturday, August 15. Philip and Paul Immerman are working on providing a zoom connection for those who wish to participate remotely. We will also resume our popular monthly club drives on Sunday, September 27. Complete details will be in the September newsletter.

Come on out and join our Concours judging crew. If you have never served as a JCNA judge this is an excellent time to start as an APPRENTICE JUDGE. Sign up with Philip DiTrolio, attend our club’s Judge’s Training on Saturday, August 15 and Philip will assign you to a judging team to observe the judging process at our Concours. This is also an excellent way to learn about your Jaguar along with being introduced to the fascinating history that surrounds many of the Jaguar models.

Renew Your JCNA Judge License

Several of our longtime judges need to renew their JCNA license to participate in judging at this year’s Concours. If you have questions on your judging status you can contact me or Philip. Certified JCNA Judges

We really need you to attend the judge’s training to keep current on rule changes. We are also going to review Philip’s National Champion XKR and Terry’s and my Series II E-types to show the differences in a early OTS and a FHC.

There are a few changes this year, so please read on! Brunch this year will be a pork barbecue with sides and desert that will be served in the pavilion adjacent to the main club dining room. Food selection this year was decided based on COVID virus concerns, and recommendations from the Country Club meal planners. The pavilion is open on the sides and should provide adequate distancing from others. The dining room will be available as well for those who prefer to dine there. As previously stated, cars will be judged and awards given in Championship and Driven Divisions, but Display only cars are especially urged to attend!

Hosted by Jaguar designers, the four-part series follows the all-electric Jaguar I-PACE through the initial design stages. Jaguar is giving insight into its design process with a series of masterclass films produced to encourage creativity and skills development at home. Hosted by Jaguar designers, the four-part series follows the progress of the all-electric Jaguar I-PACE through the initial design stages, with expert advice and tips from each of the disciplines featured in the films. Just like in the design studio, the process begins with sketching. Chief Creative Designer Dominic Najafi gives a tutorial on sketching the I-PACE with a pencil and paper before handing over to Matthew Beaven, Chief Exterior Designer, who then transforms the preliminary sketch idea into a professional digital render using Photoshop.

The third film follows Chris Scholes, Senior Alias Modeller as he creates an exterior design proposal, taking the 2D digital render and developing it into 3D surfaces using Autodesk Alias software. Finally, CG Artist Elliot Brett from the Design Visualization team brings the I-PACE to life, detailing how it is taken from storyboard through to animation. All four films are available to view now starting with Episode 1:

The 2020 Atlanta British Car Fayre Has Been Cancelled And Will Return In 2021

The 2020 annual Atlanta British Car Fayre in Norcross has been cancelled.The organizers along with the City of Norcross believe this to be the responsible decision in light of the continuing Coronavirus crisis. The Atlanta British Car Fayre has enjoyed 19 continuous years of successful shows that have become the largest British Car Show in the SE. The Atlanta British Car Fayre now attracts up to 400 entries and 20,000 visitors to historic downtown Norcross.

Maybe hidden amongst the success of these shows is the fact that all of the proits generated from each show are donated to the charity that we support, the Amanda Riley Foundation. The Amanda Riley Foundation uses 100% of all monies received to support children in the Atlanta area who have been hospitalized with cancer. The money is not only spent on the children, but also to support the financially strapped families that have to sacrifice to be with their children. The Atlanta British Car Fayre

Highlands Motoring Festival is hosting “One Lap Around the Mountains” tours on Friday and Saturday, September 11 and 12 with a “High Octane in the Park”, at Kelsey Hutchinson Park, (free non-judged car show) on Sunday September 13. Information and registration at www.highlandsmotoringfestival.com Foundation President, Knight Martorell, stated “every effort should be made to fundraise for HMF charities in their time of greatest need”. To that end, Highlands Motoring Foundation will be hosting these events in lieu of the normal schedule of festival events.

Southeast British Car Festival, Dillard, GA., Saturday, September 19. This Saturday show is the highlight of a three day gathering sponsored by the MG Registry and open to all British marques. Class Awards are featured. Dillard is an easy morning drive and the cars are staged on a grass area with the beautiful north Georgia mountains in the background. Food and awards banquet

also available. Information and registration at Peachtree MG Registry https://pmgr.clubexpress.com/. “We plan to provide you with a great and safe British car show during these strangest of times in 2020. As we continue to update our plans for the show, COVID-19 continues to be a central issue, but we and the Dillard House have plans in place to ensure we can host the event with your safety in mind, barring any additional

restrictions by the Governor. Our plans include following the recommended health precautions and screening as outlined by the Georgia Department of Health and the CDC. The Dillard House is excited to host our show and they have in place the COVID-19 recommendations for their facility. They also have excellent options to

accommodate our expected group size for meals and stay within all COVID-19 guidelines. “If circumstances change with COVID-19 restrictions and we must cancel the entire event, refunds will be processed. Ultimately, the decision to attend Dillard 2020 is yours, but we hope you will register. We look forward to seeing you there!

believes this to be a worthy cause to support. In the absence of the 2020 show, the Atlanta British Car Fayre is asking all of our past exhibitors and visitors to please donate a nominal amount (as little as $10, $20, $30) towards us being able to continue to give our annual donation to the Amanda Riley Foundation.

To those of you who are able to donate, may we say on behalf of the many volunteers, who over the past years have graciously donated their time, a heartfelt thank you.
