:D The booking response for our next run on 24th April has been fantastic. There are only a few places left before we hit the authorised number of cars on the run and max out the restaurant capacity! So, if you were thinking of joining us, be quick. Full details of the run and how to book can be found in the recent Jaguar Enthusiast magazines. All we want now is brilliant weather - fingers crossed! Mike.

A job well done :D

The Sample of Shropshire Run today was a fantastic day. The route chosen took in the finest of the scenic variety available and included a morning visit to SNG Barratt, a must for all Jaguar Enthusiasts. Lunch was of an admirable quality and service was remarkably impressive considering the large numbers that attended.

As someone who has spent a lifetime organising events for the benefit of others, it was a refreshing change to experience an event that was arranged by others who have also spent a lifetime organising events for the beneift of others :lol:
It takes huge dedication to achieve what may appear simple in theory and I applaud all those involved with today's great success. And I haven't even mentioned the favourable weather yet...how did you manage that :shock:

Many thanks for the kind words Peter. as you say, SNG Barratt's team was very good to us and even the weather Gods smiled down. That said, I made the mistake of driving home via Manchester where all the rain clouds were tethered! Mike.
