Each JCNA club may send two official AGM delegates, but there is no restriction on the number of club representatives wishing to attend the AGM as guests. Use the registration form to sign up for selected activities. Please make copies of the form as needed, or download it from the JCNA website, (www.jcna.com) or JCOF website (www.catdriver.com). These sites also have more information about the AGM and its activities, including helpful links to the websites of our hotel, sponsors, and other places of interest.

HIGHLIGHTS: We are planning a warm Florida reception at Paradise Cove Friday night, partially sponsored by Collier Jaguar of Orlando. You'll want to attend this relaxing waterside party very close to the resort, with tropical buffet, libations, and transportation included. Some of the 2004 JCNA awards will be presented at the reception (Rally, Slalom and Newsletter).

Arrive early enough to attend one of our great seminars on Friday afternoon: "Judging the MK-2" by George Jones &Gary Hagopian and "Troubleshooting the XKE" by Dick Maury of Coventry West. On Saturday, two more important seminars are being offered: "Chief Judge Training," by Dick Cavicke (Judge's Concours Rules Committee), and "JCNA Slalom & HPDE" by Steve Weinstein &Gary Hagopian.

Our Saturday evening celebration at the beautiful Wyndham resort begins with a Cocktail Hour and special entertainment, followed by a gala Awards Banquet. This will surely be an evening to remember. We hope that your 2004 winners will attend and receive their awards in person.

Those of us with the "need for speed" will put on helmets Sunday morning for a Richard Petty Experience at the Walt Disney World® Speedway (www.1800bepetty.com). Call toll free 1-800-BE PETTY to book directly (space limited) for the following Jaguar Club rates:

Ride Along - $79.20 per person plus tax
Rookie Experience (8 laps of driving) - $341.10 per person plus tax
King's Experience (18 laps of driving) - $674.10 per person plus tax

HOTEL: We have arranged superb conference facilities and a block of guest rooms with a Jaguar Club rate of $112 per night (good for 3 days before and after the event) in the fabulous

Wyndham Palace Resort and Spa
1900 Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830-2206
Book directly with the hotel at (407) 827-3333 & ask for Jaguar Club of Florida rate.
Online booking will be available soon through a special link on the JCNA.com website.

The hotel website: http://www.wyndham.com/hotels/MCOPV/main.wnt provides a full tour and answers to frequently asked questions. The resort's special privileges include continuous complimentary transportation to all Disney theme parks, dining with favorite Disney characters, access to championship Disney golf courses and more. You can restore body and soul with a workout or world-class treatment in their European-style spa, or go outside for swimming, tennis, and volleyball. At sunset, savor exceptional cuisine at Arthur's 27 on the 27th floor. Stroll to Downtown Disney® for shopping, dazzling entertainment and nightlife.

EXTRAS: We have enclosed discount Disney World® order forms for a one- or two-day "after 2 p.m." ticket to any of the Walt Disney World® theme parks. These tickets are good for any one park, (unlike a Park Hopper, which is good at all four parks). The two-day "after 2 p.m." ticket can be used at the same park for two days or at a different park each day. Orlando and Central Florida have a lot to offer other than Disney. Other nearby theme parks include Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure®, and Seaworld.

TRANSPORTATION: We recommend that flights be booked as soon as possible for the best price and availability. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is 17 miles from the hotel. Shuttles typically cost $17 one way, booked in advance with Mears Transportation at (407) 423-5566 or online (www.mearstransportation.com). Cabs range from $35-$46 each way. A cab can hold up to 5 adults, so depending on how many people are arriving at once, a cab may be more cost effective and time efficient as well. Another airport is the Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) located about 40 miles from the resort (http://www.orlandosanfordairport.com).

SPONSORS: Please note and support our generous sponsors that are helping make our 2005 JCNA AGM enjoyable. Current sponsors: Jaguar Cars, Jaguar Credit, Collier Jaguar (Orlando), SNG Barratt, XKs Unlimited, Pirelli, Parish-Heacock Classic Car Insurance, and Coventry West.

Please contact us with any questions.

We hope to see you this spring!
