Well, as you can see from the message below, we are officially set for the

: Dear Gregory.
: Thanks for your kind comments about ABFM.
: Your timing couldn't be more fortunate. This year's ABFM will be featured
on
: Speed Channel's 'My Classic Car " hosted by the well known Dennis Gage.
Check
: out www.myclassiccar.com. This show is viewed by several million car nuts
: throughout North America. To take advantage of this publicity you should
arrange
: for a Jaguar of 'particular interest' to be at VanDusen. Dennis likes to
: interview cars owner with a particularly good story to tell so if you can
: arrange this I will pass on the information and hopefully he will include
it in
: his broadcast.
: Some sort of flyers promoting your event would also work. They should be
: displayed at the ABFM information tent this year in advance of the event..
: Regarding 2004.There is no problem registering additional cars in the Jag
: section as there is additional space available. You could also have a
small
: display with a map
: and details of the tour.
: Featured marque is not possible since that happened in 2002. I'm sure we
can
: work out something to recognise your group and make them feel
welcome...the Fri
: night reception may well be the place for that. Also there is a special
room
: rate at the Abercorn ,our host hotel. Also special parking.
: Let me know if these suggestions work for you.
: Cheers
: Patrick.
