Default A Pride of Jaguars - Fair Lakes

I'd like to organize a Jaguar cars get-together, alongside the Fair Lakes Cars & Coffee, near Kohl's in Fairfax, Virginia. Local club president Clint Hyde says he is open for Sunday, May 12th, but that is Mother's Day - we counter-propose Sunday, May 19th. This event would be a way to meet other Jag owners, from 8:00AM to 10:00AM, with the opportunity for a group brunch afterwards.

Is there any interest in this? If you are interested in attending, please respond, and include what Jaguar you will bring.

Thanks,

Bob Collum

That's Mother's Day Bob. Could be some brunch conflicts for some, and some possible, you are going where on Mother's Day?

Thanks!

OK, I could see where Mother's day might be a problem for many - and not just for the brunch part. Anybody want to suggest a free Sunday date?

Default New Proposed Date - Sunday, May 19th

Understood about Mothers Day. I don't want to become "Bob, the Homewrecker".

We're looking at Sunday, May 19th, 8:00AM - 10:00AM, then head to brunch. There's always a good crowd of other-than-Jaguars at this weekly Cars & Coffee. If we get a significant group to agree on this date, I can get there early and cordon off some separate space for just us. Whaddyathink?

The picture below shows how we used a side area of the Fair Lakes parking lot for the Lotus group on April 14th.

Default Proposed: Jaguar Gathering, 05/19/13 - Fair Lakes

OK - I'm proposing we get as many Jaguar owners together as we can, on Sunday, May 19th at Fair Lakes. We can do the Cars & Coffee from 8:00AM to 10:00AM, with brunch afterwards for those interested. If people let me know that they plan to come, I can reserve a space for attending Jaguars on the Starbucks/Kohl's parking lot.

Last May 20th, there was a Jag get-together, and they had a pretty good turnout. I hope we can at least equal that attendance. Here's a picture of some of the Jags at that event -

I see Mike's E-type, WhteXKR's white XKR, my XK8 vert, and I think that was the first week the XK120 came.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to make it this year. It would be a bit of a haul from Las Vegas...

Ed, we know you'll be here in spirit. (But really, how hard a drive could it be?)

Bob,

I will try to make it but it will likely be later than 8. Need to negotiate with wife on when she comes back from her outing.
