Why They Were Established and What They
Represent
JCNA has set up a new Special Awards Committee
with two goals: To inform the JCNA membership about our club's four
major achievement awards and to create interest and enthusiasm in
competing to attain one of these awards. Committee members are expected
to work to get the membership more involved in JCNA. They want every
member to understand what JCNA competition is, to honor the people
in whose names the awards are given and to want to be recipients
themselves.
The four are: The Andrew Whyte Service Award,
presented annually to a member who has contributed significantly
to his/her JCNA affiliate or to JCNA as a whole; The Fred Horner
Award, presented annually to the member who achieves the best total
performance competing in all three JCNA events, concours, rally
and slalom, using the same Jaguar; The Karen Miller Award, presented
annually to the JCNA Newsletter Editor of The Year and the Dealer
of the Year Award, given to the dealer that works most closely with
a JCNA affiliate.
The Whyte, Horner and Miller awards all
give recognition to individual members who contribute time, talent
and hard work as well as dues to their club. There can be no greater
satisfaction for a Jaguar enthusiast than to receive one of them.

This is JCNA’s most
prestigious award for an individual club member. It commemorates
Andrew Whyte who was for several years in charge of Jaguar worldwide
public relations. He left the company to become a free-lance writer
and, as the author of many books about Jaguar, was recognized as
the company’s unofficial historian. His personal knowledge
of the company was vast and he wrote the definitive biography, Jaguar,
The History of A Great British Car. During his Jaguar career, Andrew
gave unstintingly of his own time and talent to support the Jaguar
enthusiast movement around the world on both local and national
levels.
Why is this award important? Nominations
for the Andrew Whyte Award are usually submitted by JCNA affiliate
clubs on behalf of members who volunteer their services well beyond
the norm. It is given for local service, national service or contributions
in both areas. It is not so much a competitive trophy as it is a
reward for hard work and dedication to JCNA.

Karen Christine Miller (1945-2003) was an
active contributor to the growth of JCNA for more than 30 years.
She chaired the original Concours Committee, co-wrote the JCNA Rule
Book, served on the Business Committee, maintained the JCNA roster
and was a Regional Director
She conceived and developed the Andrew Whyte
and Fred Horner Awards and originated the JCNA AGM Technical Seminars
and Annual Newsletter Awards. Professionally, Karen was Associate
Editor of Jaguar Journal from 1985 and the Jaguar Cars North American
Archivist from 1990 to 2003.
This award is presented annually to the JCNA
affiliate newsletter editor who best represents Karen Miller’s
talents and ideals as a writer, editor, historian and ultimate Jaguar
club volunteer. The recipient will qualify by producing, in one
year at least four newsletters to the highest standards of editorial
content and production.
Why is this award important? Because a good
newsletter is the lifeline for every local club. It contains news,
the calendar of area event, technical advice and features of local
interest. The editor who puts out a timely, well-produced publication
packed with information is directly contributing to keeping the
organization healthy and active.

The Fred Horner Sportsmanship
Award commemorates Frederick S. Horner who was Executive Secretary
of JCNA in the British Leyland years from 1970 to his retirement
in 1979. Fred was not only an administrator but a diplomat, able
to resolve disputes between individuals and clubs with tactful firmness.
His prime concern for JCNA was not competition but participation.
He promoted concours and other events as family outings to relax
and enjoy Jaguar cars and the company of fellow members.
Fred Horner was often called
“Uncle Fred” and was much loved in JCNA. He passed away
in 1995. The JCNA Sportsmanship award named for him goes to the
member who qualifies in all three JCNA competitions, concours, rally
and slalom (with the same Jaguar). The winner is decided based on
the entrant’s scores.
The Fred Horner Award is
based on competition. The original award was to reward a competitor
who campaigned the same Jaguar in JCNA’s three sanctioned events,
concours, slalom, and rally. At this time the driven class is not
included. Scoring for this award is derived from (1) Concours –
this event is already scored on a three concours average to get
a base 100 score (2) Slalom – the competitors best time is
calculated to a percentage of the national class record time to
arrive at a base 100 number (3) Rally – similar treatment as
slalom – entrants error time calculated together with the winning
error time for each of the required two rallies then averaged to
get a base 100 number. Basically speaking the perspective recipient
has to enter three concours within their region, two rallies and
also the slalom all with the same Jaguar.
Why is this award important? Because it
rewards participation by a member. Fred Horner’s goal was to
interest all JCNA members in bringing their cars out to events as
often as possible and this award recognizes those who follow his
precept

The JCNA Dealer of the Year Award was first presented
at the Annual Meeting in 2000.
This award recognizes a dealer for their close
relationship with a JCNA club and for their support of and participation
in local club events. The first honoree was Moore Jaguar of St.
Louis.
Recognizing a Jaguar dealer
each year is also a tribute to the local club or clubs which work
with the dealer. It usually falls to the club members to approach
the dealer management, describe the publicity and business s benefits
of working with a Jaguar club and convince them to start supporting
the club. If your JCNA affiliate club does not have a working arrangement
with your local dealer effort should be made to establish one. Your
JCNA Regional Director can be a big help in this.
