> Dear XJ Jag-Lovers,

> Those of you who have had the privilege of meeting your fellow Jag-
> Lovers face-to-face know that it's a lot of fun, sort of like
> meeting an old friend for the first time.  That's the idea behind
> the Jag-Lovers picnic.
>
> Four years ago I had the idea of inviting the friends we've made on
> the internet lists to come to a picnic in New Jersey so we could
> get together for an afternoon and swap stories and admire cars.  As
> it turned out, about 80 people came from many different states.
> Needless to say we had a great time and it has since become an
> annual event.
>
> Remember, this is not a car show (although I imagine there will be
> quite a few Jaguars there), it is a gathering of like-minded
> individuals getting together in person to share the camaraderie
> that was started on the Internet lists. We have private picnic
> grounds, an all-you-can-eat picnic lunch, door prizes, a 30 mile
> run through the back roads, and a lot of friendly people having a
> good time.
>
> On Saturday night the locals get together at the picnic grounds
> with the out-of-town Jag-Lovers and leave for supper at 6:00, then
> return afterwards for the June edition of our famous ''First
> Tuesday'' meeting (see the writeup in the March 2002 edition of
> Porter's ''XK Gazette'').  We sit around, drink beer, swap lies,
> admire cars, share pictures and videos, and generally have
> a great time, extending far into the night.
>
> On Sunday morning the Jag-Lovers start arriving for coffee and
> donuts.  At 10:30 anyone who is interested will go on a relaxed
> guided tour through the back roads of rural New Jersey, arriving
> back at the picnic grounds at lunch time.  Lunch consists of
> hamburgers, hot dogs, homemade salads and various other standard
> picnic fare, in addition to tuna and chicken salad wraps and
> whatever else strikes the cook's imagination that day.  There will
> be plenty of door prizes, donated by our favorite vendors, and a 50-
> 50 drawing.  The Jaguar Owner's North America Tour group will be
> there (www.jonat.org) as the Boston leg hands off to the Washington
> leg, so there should be some interesting people with interesting
> stories.
>
> So mark June 27 on your calendars, and then drop me an email at
> MikeEck@optonline.net so I can send you directions and can make
> sure we have enough food!  Price for the event is $15 per person at
> the gate; children are free.  There'll be plenty of food, door
> prizes, T-shirts, vendors, and a whole bunch of friendly people
> with familiar names and great cars.
>
> We're all looking forward to seeing each other again!
