Calendar car of the Month - July

Welcome to the web site of the Jaguar Drivers' Club, East Midlands Area (Area 31). We provide local meetings and activities for Jaguar owners & enthusiasts, covering most of the shire counties of Derby, Nottingham and Leicester.

We meet every month on the 3rd Monday, from 8.00pm, at the John Thompson Inn at Ingleby, nr Melbourne, Derbyshire. Whether you have a classic car, or a modern model, whether you are looking for technical support, car events, or a social activity, you will find this is the club for you. Whether you are young or old, male or female, keen or laid back, expert or amateur, we welcome you all.

We are a group of friendly individuals, who enjoy the Jaguar marque, and, just as importantly, enjoy company. We like our cars to look good, but also believe in using them and therefore encourage you to use your cars.

As well as meeting at our monthly club night, we have a dedicated committee, who arrange a variety of events throughout the year. These are quite varied, and are planned to align with members' wishes.

For example, in the past we have had visits to Tissington Hall, Belvoir Castle, Royal Crown Derby, and the private Cooke Motor Museum. We have had factory visits to Bentley Cars, RR, as well as to Jaguar Cars at Brown's Lane and Castle Bromwich and Whitley Design Centre. We have had technical visits to engine manufacturers-Zytek, oil specialist-Lubrizol and gearbox manufacturer-Glebe. We've had Summer Picnics, at Kedleston Hall, BBQs, Sunday Lunch runs into Derbyshire and Leicestershire, an annual Dinner/Dance, Weekend Away trips to various UK destinations, as well as Quiz nights, Skittles nights and Guest Speakers.

We produce a coloured Newsletter each month to keep members informed of activities and events. This is well thought of by both those who are regulars, and by those who are only able to make the occasional visit to club night, or events, and wish to keep in touch.
