Save the date !!!
We are delighted to announce that we are hosting the celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the Jaguar Xk for the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club.
The idea started from a brief conversation with Jake and James from The JEC at a show in Gaydon last Summer.
It has taken some time to get the necessary approvals in place but we have just received the go ahead.
The plan is to have a breakfast meet on Sunday 4th October.
The time is yet to be confirmed but 8.30am - 12.30pm seems likely.
The JEC anticipate that we will have 150 - 200 Xk's which will be quite a spectacle lined up in the car park against the backdrop of Brooklands Museum. It would be amazing if we could get that many Xk’s together but the more the merrier.
We are fortunate not to be limited by car parking space!
SPM Motorworks (
https://www.spmmotorworks.co.uk/ ) our local Jaguar & Classic Car Specialist are going to co-host this event with us.
Steve and Sean will be on hand to give technical advice for any issues you may have.
The Bla Bla cafe (
https://blablacafe.co.uk/locations/weybridge/) will be opening specially for us and will have a suitable breakfast menu available.
It has indoor and outdoor space, disabled access and toilets.
It is a big cafe designed by HUF Haus (
https://www.huf-haus.com/en-uk/europa/london/) who you might have seen on Grand Designs etc…
They have their UK showhouse at the far end of the car park.
Accommodation
We have reserved a number of rooms at 2 local hotels at a preferential rate for Saturday 3rd October. Rooms are on a first come, first served basis and numbers are limited.
The Brooklands Hotel (
https://brooklandshotelsurrey.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1053397165&gbraid=0AAAAADDJEb2iBI5tkQ4H3krys1Adr7D2N ) is just a stone throw away.
Rooms cost £159 (Single occupancy) or £169 (Double occupancy) for Bed and Breakfast. This Hotel over looks the Mercedes Benz complex and track;
Oatlands Park Hotel (
https://www.oatlandsparkhotel.com/ ) is a little further away (1.7 miles / 8 Minute drive) but is set in 10 acres of parkland and is steeped in history.
Superior Double Rooms (sleeping up to 2 guests): £140.00 per room, inclusive of breakfast.
We hope to be able to offer a discounted rate to Brooklands Museum (https://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/visit/ ) which is well worth a visit.
If you are thinking of making a weekend of it we are 25 mins by train to London Waterloo, not far from Hampton Court (6.5 miles) or Windsor (12 miles).
If you would like to be a part of this event please let me know and I will keep you updated.
Many thanks,
Marc
