2007 JCNA Annual General Meeting
March 23rd - 24th - Houston, Tx |
|
The members of the Jaguar Club of Houston extend a warm welcome to the officers, delegates, and guests who will attend the 2007 JCNA AGM in Houston, Texas on March 24th. The complete agenda is on the registration form that accompanies this article, and is also available on jcna.com and jcoh.cc. Here are a few things you need to know Getting to Houston Houston has two major airports - George Bush Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and William P Hobby (HOU). The former is served by major carriers and is a hub for Continental Airlines. It is approximately 26 miles from the host hotel, the Houston Hilton Post Oak, which is located in the Galleria area west of downtown. Hobby is home to Southwest Airlines and several regional carriers. It is about 21 miles from the hotel. Houston is the nation’s fourth largest city, and driving times vary, but anticipate heavy traffic during rush hours. Taxi cabs operate on a zone system,
and rides from Bush and Hobby currently cost $49.50 and $44.00, respectively.
Shuttle services are also available, and the Hilton suggests Super Shuttle
(1-800-258-3826 or 713-523-8888), which charges $27 (IAH) and $23 (HOU)
respectively, or Texas Shuttle (713-781-6660) which charges $18 and $23.
For those driving to the AGM or renting a car, self-parking at the hotel
is $13 per day. (Bus and rail are not options.) Friday Evening, March 23 AGM delegates and guests will have an opportunity on Friday evening to visit one of the largest private car collections in the country. Our host will be noted attorney John O'Quinn. His private 750+ car collection contains cars from the brass era to modern supercars. In addition to rare Jaguars such as the XJR-15 and the XJ220, his collection includes cars owned by public figures such as Queen Elizabeth and Pope John Paul II (before he became Pope) and cars featured in films such as the Batmobile. After viewing the O'Quinn collection, the group will travel a short distance to the Saint Arnold micro brewery for a Texas-style BBQ dinner. Saint Arnold has received many awards and was featured in a Business Week Personal Business article on small regional breweries. Their taps will be running all evening. JCOH will provide all transportation. AGM Activities In addition to the business meeting
on Saturday, there will be four technical seminars on Friday and Saturday
and the awards banquet on Saturday evening. The banquet speaker will be
a senior executive from Jaguar Cars whom you won't want to miss. For those arriving early or staying
after, the Houston-Galveston area offers something for everyone. Some
noteworthy stops include Space Center Houston, the battleship Texas (a
pre-WW I dreadnought that fought in both world wars), the Museum District,
and major league sports. For up-to-date information on what’s available,
