[JONAT-chat] JCNA

In response to Jerry's comments, I'll agree with what he said about JCNA
involvement. I don't think it will imporve on an already good individual
sector. It's going to take someone enthusiastic at the helm and no one from
JCNA is going to be able to push that to an individual sector. Where I see
JCNA's benefit is in giving us a source of potential SCs that we didn't have
last time.

Does the JONAT board want me to put together a proposal and present it at
the AGM? (I'll present it to you guys first. :->)

I personally like the idea of a high level of JCNA involvement - any pro's
or con's from anyone else out there?

Christina and Bob,

No one in authority has said yeah or nay to getting JCNA involved. I'll
probably be a delegate to the AGM end of March beginning of April. I can
present it. If JCNA is excited about it, I don't think we'll have a problem.
The reason is that every club has drives every so often. If we use the same
general concept, it just becomes a matter of convincing the various clubs to
make one of the drives the same time as the tour passing through. Probably
one of the big questions is how many clubs do a three or four day drive? How
many can we convince to do one?

This wouldn't preclude your idea of a simultaneous drive, either. For
example, suppose there was a club somewhere who we couldn't possibly link up
with the circumnavigation of the continent. They could have their drive
coincide with the segment passing closest. If the idea takes hold, I can see
where there might be some mini JONATs involving three or four clubs in the
interior of the larger loop.

Another option would be to see who is interested and if there is an East
Coast cluster and a West Coast cluster, we could create JONAT East and JONAT
West that ran concurrently. Then again, I don't see where FedExing Jay and
the banner was such a big deal. There are parts of the country where the
population (and Jaguar) density is so low that we don't have Jaguar Clubs,
and would have a hard time organizing anything, unless we pull in some folks
from Jag-Lovers.

Another option would be to create BONAT (British Owners) and allow other
British marques. That would probably make JCNA participation harder to
obtain, so I'd rather give JCNA a try first.

In thinking about your comment, I think that if we want to expand on the
successes of the last tour, we should not just turn to the executive
committee, but look at a wider scope of input.  '04 was developed from the
executive committee, and there have been some good comments here on how we
might increase participation and enthusiasm.  I like the wider circle of
input myself to conceptualize any major changes to the Tour philosophy.

Bob

"...and that comes back to the goals and objectives of having the thing in
the first place, and I look to the Executive Committee to clarify and mold a
worthy set of goals and objectives.  This has to be important enough for
people to make it high priority to spend time and money to participate.  I'm
still in if it sounds like there is some enthusiasm and intelligent thinking
out there.
