Flash:

The following JANE Members are already registered for British Car Day.  Be sure to add your fine Cat to the list.  If you have already registered with LAAM and are not on this list send an email to the webmaster.  See below for details on registering:

One week before Independence Day, the British will reclaim a bit of land at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum. With over 250 cars expected, British Car Day has fast become one of the Museum's biggest and best events.

Jaguars, MGs, Austin Healeys, and Triumphs fill the field in record numbers. Come join the friendly competition to help Jaguar be the most represented marque!

The 2007 British Car Day will feature author John de Campi. He will showcase three of his Pebble Beach-winning Rolls Royces, including two Springfield Rolls, and will offer a lecture on Rolls Royce manufacturing in the U.S.

JANE, the Sunbeam Tiger Club, British Bull Dogs, and the MG, Triumph, and Austin Healey clubs co-sponsor this show.

JANE has always been well represented at this major event, as many JANE members have enjoyed getting together at this beautiful setting. This year we want to make an even better day of it by having an organized JANE presence. If we plan ahead, LAAM has assured us of the following:

• All JANE cars will be together in a prime spot under the trees
• We will have a well-stocked 10' x 10' club tent including membership materials, extra copies of the June Coventry Cat, club regalia, and possibly a demo of the JANE Website -- Oh, and coolers of cold water and soft drinks for JANE members
• The new JANE flag will be flying at our club location on the field.

For all this to happen, particularly getting us all together in a prime spot at this always-crowded event, we need to know ahead of time how many plan to attend. In fact, LAAM will hold contiguous space for only the number of JANE cars that pre-register. Pre registration is easy and there are three ways to go:

• 1) Register online with LAAM by going to http://www.mot.org/Events/2007lawnreg.doc and email or fax the completed form with credit card informationa to LAAM. Please send me a copy of your registration at webmaster@j-a-n-e.org.
• 2) Download the form and mail a printed copy to LAAM with the check as indicate on the form. Again, please let me know by email if you plan to attend as I will be coordinating things with LAAM.
• 3) The easiest is just to drop a check in the mail to me and, if you have more than one Jaguar, tell me which you plan to enter. I will then take care of the registration with LAAM directly from your JANE profile. Voila -- no forms to fill out and send in.

We will need to know by June 17 how many spots JANE will fill up, so please get your registrations in soon so we can make a real JANE splash on the 24th.

The show runs from 10am to 2pm, and First and Second Place People's Choice Awards will be presented in several marque-related classes. Registration is $15 per British show car.

Directions and other info can be found on the Larz Anderson website. A map to the Museum can be found here.

This is a terrific don't-miss-it annual event for all New England British car enthusiasts.  So ... don't miss it!
