JCNA JUDGE TRAINING
Lady Justice might be blind, but CatDrivers who earn cer-
tification to be JCNA Concours Judges certainly are not.
Each judge must attend special training classes designed
and required by JCNA to assure that standardized rules are
followed at every JCNA sanctioned concours throughout
North America.
JCOF’s Chief Judge, Tom Wright provided ‘refresher’ training for 25
JCNA members seeking re-certification and apprenticeship status on the
day of JCOF’s 33rd concours. They then divided into teams to judge 46
exquisite Jaguar automobiles competing in 20 different classifications.
Those meticulously prepared Jaguars were proudly displayed by en-
trants from 11 different JCNA affiliate clubs. Check their scores on the
following pages.

JAGWire e-Magazine 10 2021 Concours d’Elegance EditionJCOF’S ELEGANT 33rd Annual CONCOURS AWARDS BANQUET
By Delilah Davis, Concours Coordinator
After a long postponement of JCOF’s 2020 Concours, things finally began to take shape for 2021. At the final
meeting of our committee, we had a count of 46 participants, meaning headcount, not registered cars. That
brought a sigh of relief as we were required by the Marriott to have at least 40 attendees for the Banquet. Though
we had a deadline for registering, that did not stop the numbers from continuing to grow. There was a new count
every day. We ended up with about 46 registered cars, plus or minus 3 or 4 that showed up at he last minute.
I had created the banquettable arrangements the year be-
fore, so those had to be opened back up and re-constructed.
As registrations increased, three additional centerpieces
were created and we had a final count of 70 people attend-
ing the banquet. The banquet was a lovely occasion. The
food was exquisite, the service was excellent and the awards
were especially spectacular. Awards were designed by Deli-
lah Davis and Erik Klerholm and produced by Pavel Vacata.
I had two very special trophies designed and presented in memory
of Tom Curren. The Peoples’ Choice award went to Chris Lipinsky
and the Judges’ Choice award to Eduardo Zavala (see cover photos).
I also donated a smaller version of the Leaper to Jay Hixson for his
enormous contribution of time arranging our Rallyes and Road
Trips.
To my great delight, I was awarded the Walter C. Hill “Tarnished Trophy” award —a wonderful honor.
‘King’ Dan Middleton arrived in full regalia to present the President's Meritorious
Award to Danny and Dianna Bogdany. Unfortunately, they were not in attendance.
Tom Orlando was inducted as our new President and Pavel Vacata was inducted as
our new V.P. Tom Wright, our Chief Judge, announced his retirement and appointed
Erik Klerholm as his successor.
Left to Right: Tom Orlando, incoming president; Juan Sierra, Concours Chairman; Will Hoehndorf, Concours Co-
Chairman; Erik Klerholm, outgoing president and new Chief Judge; Tom Wright, now Chief Judge Emeritus.

Who woulda ‘thunk’ that a visit to a museum of antique tractors would turn out to be a really great fun-filled
event? BUT when JCOF’s Rally Master Extraordinaire, Jay Hixson, takes us on a Road Trip, it’s always an ad-
venture with lots of surprises!
Those who attended the JCOF Concours but who didn’t sign up for Sunday’s Road Trip really missed the fun.
[Don’t let that happen next year!]
Though somewhat weary from Saturday’s concours and still satiated from the evening’s elegant awards ban-
quet and extravagant cuisine, a number of JCOF stalwarts bravely lined up to follow Jay and Karen Hixson’s
blue F-Type convertible to parts unknown. Some followers never knew that central Florida had some pretty
steep hills. Equally exciting were the narrow, twisty roads that gave us a chance to enjoy the handling qualities
of our Jaguar automobiles. Stick shifts and paddle shifters got thorough workouts.
When we arrived at our destination near Leesburg, FL, the metal cutout of a buffalo on the fence gate was a
tip that we were about to see some unusual things. The owner of the ranch and museum, Stewart Paquette, is
quite a collector. Not only has he accumulated what is probably the largest collections of International Har-
vester ‘Farmall’ tractors, he also has Buffalo, cattle and horses roaming his beautiful property.
Stew Paquette is not only a collector of unusual items, he also proved
to be a most gracious host. He proudly led our somewhat disorganized
group on a tour of his collections. He graciously described many of his
Farmall tractors that he had personally and painstakingly restored and
which required constructing several buildings to contain them all.
While tractors were the main display, many of us “mature” folks were
delighted to see an International Harvester refrigerator — “Just like
the one mama got when we finally got rid of the old ice box,” said one
of our folks.
JAGWire e-Magazine 15 2021 Concours d’Elegance EditionAs one might expect, no event with “The Funnest Car Club in Florida” would be complete without FOOD! Our
visit to Paquette’s Place was no exception. BUT, what a surprise when we tasted what may have been Florida’s
best Bar-B-Q! Good Food! Good Friends! Good Times! Who could ask for anything more?

April13, 2021 Board of Directors Meeting Notes
Juan & Genie Sierras’ Home, Longwood, FL
Meeting Facilitator: Erik Klerholm, President JCOf
Board Members present in person: Juan Sierra, Genie Sierra, Erik Klerholm and Tom Orlando. Danny Bog-
dany joined the meeting using a Zoom internet account. All Board members were present.
The Board reviewed the purpose and function of JCOF as the 2020 Concours D’Elegance was cancelled
and there have been no monthly meetings since the Covid-19 emergency started last March 2020.
Tom wanted to discuss how the elections of the Board and Steering Council take place.
Basic information can be found in the By-Laws of the club. The usual date for election by the mem-
bership is at the Holiday party. Due to the extraordinary Covid 19 situation no Holiday party could be
held in January 2020. Therefore, the Board of Directors stayed in place and the 2021 Officers and Steer-
ing Council election will take place at the April 24th Concours dinner. Nominations from the floor will be
entertained. Tom said that he wanted to investigate future meeting locations. He also had ideas about
discussing jaguar repair shops at the next general meeting. Danny suggested that Tom announce at
the Concours dinner when the next general meeting date and tour will take place.
Treasurer’s report: Danny Bogdany explained the Treasurer’s work. The JCOF’s funds are in three ac-
counts and the plan is to close one of the accounts and consolidate the funds. A report of the club’s
available funds was made and details are filed with the Secretary. The payments to JCNA for member-
ship dues are up to date. After the new Board of Directors are elected at the Concours d’Elegance
dinner in April, the newly authorized board members will update necessary documentation. 2020 Con-
cours budget approved last year by membership will be used for the current Concours.
The JCOF P.O. Box in Maitland will be closed due to the lack of usage. All advertisers with JCOF are
100% paid up, due to the efforts of Bob Lewis. Erik discussed an email regarding a JCNA fee increase
per sanction activity.
A discussion took place among the Board regarding JCOF charitable donations this year. It was
agreed to ask the membership at the Concours dinner for a motion to approve donations to three or
four worthy charitable organizations. The Coventry Foundation was brought up as JCOF is a founding
Patron. Other past recipients were the Kidney Foundation in memory of Joe Tarnowski and Advent
Health Organ Donation program in memory of John Falco. Other worthy charitable organizations can
be considered.
The JCOF Concours event was discussed as it will take place shortly April 23-25, 2021 at the Marriott
Hotel in Lake Mary. The work is proceeding well.
Juan mentioned that he has a dealership contact that will supply 2 vehicles to be display at the
Concours. The dealership is also giving the club 5 certificates valued at $200.00 each for a complete
car detailing, a total donation value of $1,000.00. These certificates will be raffled at the dinner.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:00 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Genie Sierra, Secretary

June 19, 2021 Membership Meeting Notes
Meeting Location: Bella Tuscany 13424 Summerport Village
Pkwy, Windermere, FL
Meeting Facilitator: Tom Orlando, President, JCOF
President Tom Orlando started the meeting by leading the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a moment
of silence in honor of those JCOF Club members who have passed. Tom then welcomed 20 members.
New members present were Betsy and Scott Shepherd.
President’s messages:
Tom spoke of the next JCOF Slalom to be held September 18 or 25, 2021 at the usual location in
Tavares, FL. Ian Crawford has offered to host a “Freeloaders” luncheon for all attendees to join
him at his house after the event. Will Hoehndorf will include details in the email “Blast” he sends
to all membership.
Delilah Davis has offered to hold a pool party at her home again this year. It is always a fun and re-
laxed event. The date and more details will be available soon.
Tom is requesting members to send him any pictures they might have related to JCOF events, espe-
cially the Concours in April. He will forward them to Robert Delmar to update the club’s website.
Tom opened a discussion on the $300.00 limit on club expenditures by authorized members that
would not require a membership vote. A discussion ensued by the members. By a show of hands
the new cap was approved at $500.00.
Wil Hoehndorf, 2022 JOCF Concours d’Elegance chairman, gave an updated status of the coming con-
cours. The next year’s concours will be held at the same location as year’s location, the Marriott Hotel in
Lake Mary. He was able to reserve a block of rooms at the hotel for participants at the Concours. Details
to follow as information is firmed up.
New business:
Tom Wright made comments on judging needs for the International Jaguar Festival being held in Ft
Myers October 20-23, 2021. The JCNA rules change is expected after the national AGM in Au-
gust that will require all judges to be requalified on a yearly basis. A judges training, to qualify
more judges for the IJF, will be offered by Craig Kerins, Southeast Regional Director and judge,
on July 10th in Venice, Florida. Volunteer judges are needed from our club.
Tom noted that any member taking the training in July will be prequalified for the IJF in October
and JCOF’s concours in 2022. The first-time trained judges would be able to work as an appren-
tice judge at the IJF and then qualify to be a full judge at the JCOF concours next spring. Infor-
mation to follow as details are firmed up.
A lively 50/50 raffle was held with the proceeds going to the club’s treasury.

“Preserving Jaguar History”
The Jaguar Club of Florida was a founder of the “Coventry Foundation Club
Patron” concept and remained steadfast supporters of this worthy organization.
There are now fifteen JCNA affiliated clubs as well as one independent club that
have signed up to meaningfully support the Foundation on a continuing annual
basis.
Since the inception of this program the Coventry Foundation has grown exponen-
tially. We now have 9 Classic Jaguar automobiles, enormous amounts of literature
and reference material, the largest Jaguar tool collection in the world, and a
wealth of art work and memorabilia. The scholarship program continues to sup-
port a needy student in the art of automotive restoration.
The Foundation is very active in loaning tools to members and serving as the “go
to” source for technical and historical information. The storage space for all this
material has tripled. All of this growth, as well as the expanding mission of the
Coventry Foundation has come with growing expenses.
We would like to count on our loyal Club Patrons to supply the Foundation with a
reliable source of income to support a portion of the fixed costs. A year-
ly donation of $250 (or more) will greatly add to the stability of the organization
and enable our continued growth in the future.
Most clubs allocate some funds to annual donations. The Coventry Foundation
(thanks in large part to Tom Wright) is a 501 3 (c) charitable organization with
extremely low overhead that directly supports your hobby.
Midway through this awful year is a terrific time to do something good for our
Jaguar community by renewing the commitment and making the $250 donation.
Thanks again, your support has been invaluable to us.
Sincerely,
