Mac’s Bridge Sports and Classic Car Festival – 22 May 2022
TSOAQ have reluctantly taken the decision to cancel the festival due to take place on 22nd May, due to the saturated condition of the Duncan Range. We recently completed an inspection of the facility and unfortunately there has been insufficient time for the ground to dry after the heavy summer and autumn rains. The waterlogged state of the area has not allowed the area to be mowed and there is minimal chance of the ground drying sufficiently to allow safe access for vehicles later in the month.
To those classic car owners who have already paid for their pre-entry tickets we will refund their moneys, can those owners with pre-entry tickets advise Murray their bank account details and we will organise a transfer.
The Jaguar Drivers Club of South Australia will be hosting the 51st Jaguar National Rally in Hahndorf, South Australa from 14-18th April 2023.
The CHMC (Council of Heritage Motor Clubs) has gathered some suggestions and resources that may assist enthusiasts who have flood affected or water damaged historic vehicles.
This is a huge topic and there are many opinions and experiences out there with flood or water damaged vehicles.
This document is just a starter to help you focus your thought if you have such a vehicle.
The March-April 2022 Edition of Queensland Jaguar Driver is now online and available to members by logging on.
It is now easier than ever to create an Impromptu Event using the Impromptu Event Creation guidelines produced by one of our Sunshine Coast members, Tony Brett.
Tony has produced an excellent document showing you how to create an Impromptu Event step-by-step, illustrated with the relevant screen shots.
There is no excuse now not to go out and enjoy your Jaguar at a time when so many official club events have been cancelled due to Covid.
The guide can be found via the Calender tab on the home page of our website.
