Dear Kent, Michael, Rob, Di, Rob, Peter and Brian,
 
It’s been almost a month since the Rally weekend in Bathurst; less since the end of the Post-Rally Tour and, for many of us, the afterglow persists.  I’m certainly still feeling it!  I trust the reports you have received from members who attended the event have been positive.  We certainly enjoyed having each and every one of them at Bathurst.  They contributed so much to the success of the event and their support is very much appreciated by the Rally Committee and the JDCA.  Please extend to them the sincere gratitude of the Rally Committee and all at the JDCA.        
I note the Concours and Sporting Day results are on the National Rally web page and most of the photos and videos from the Rally are now available under the Media tab on the JDCA website.  There are some great shots and excellent footage from the various events so please encourage members to have a look.
 
Poster prints from original Rally commemorative artwork by Greg McNeill

Members who attended the Bathurst event will remember the original painting by renowned international motorsport artist Greg McNeill that was 1st prize in the raffle.  Commissioned from the Artist with the support of JLR, the painting in gouache on artists' board depicted the 1985 Bathurst winning XJS car #10 (Armin Hahne (GER) and John Goss (NSW)), XJS car #12 entered by owner/driver Garry Willmington (NSW) and co-driven by Peter Janson (VIC) and an XJC; all set against the background of iconic Mount Panorama.  The images were chosen to commemorate the three anniversaries we celebrated at the 53rd National Rally; the 40th anniversary of Jaguar's win in the 1985 James Hardie Bathurst 1000 and the 40th anniversaries of the release of the XJS and XJC models.  
 
From the original painting, Greg McNeill produced a commemorative poster containing wording that marks the Rally event and the three anniversaries celebrated.  Copies of the poster can be acquired direct from the Artist.  Details are as follows and I'd be grateful if you could make your members aware of the offer.  I note the format of the poster was used in creating the front cover of the Rally Magazine issued to delegates.  While not the quality of the Artist's prints, the cover of the magazine will give members a sense of what they will receive if they order a copy of this wonderful poster.  The details provided by Greg McNeill are as follows:-
