The Jaguar Drivers Club now in its 54th year is the oldest Jaguar Club in existence. The Club consists of Registers of the various Jaguar models. i.e. The E-Type Register and some 37 Areas Worldwide providing local support. Each Area is identified numerically and we are Area 18 (Lancashire). The Area was reformed in 1984 by Harry Warburton, Brian Ekin, Kevin Rigby and Steve Gibson. The first meeting was at The Game Bird in Chorley but shortly after moved to The Howard Arms in Whittle-le-Woods before it was demolished for housing when we moved to our current venue at The Canberra Club, British Aerospace, Samlesbury.
Our current Chairman Brian Ekin has held the post since 1986 and was until recently a member of the JDC Board of Directors. Area 18 is one of the more active Area’s with a large membership holding many activities and events throughout the year. We also provide a free monthly newsletter for our members to keeping them informed with items of interest.
Anyone interested in the Jaguar Marque are very welcome at Area 18 and you will find at our monthly meetings probably the best selection of Jaguars in the North together with the friendliest people to greet you. We especially welcome couples to our Area so please take a look at our calendar to find out whats going on and we look forward to meeting you soon.

Thought's for the day.
A mate of mine recently admitted to being addicted to brake fluid.
When I quizzed him on it he reckoned he could stop any time.....
I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on a grave. As I was standing there I noticed 4 grave diggers walking about with a coffin. 3 hours later and they're still walking about with it. I thought to myself, they've lost the plot!!
I was at a cash point yesterday when a little old lady asked if I could check her balance, so I pushed her over.
My daughter asked me for a pet spider for her birthday so I went to our local pet shop and they were £100!I'm sure I can get one cheaper off the web.
Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarves are not happy.
Saw my mate outside the Doctor's today looking really worried.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"I've got the big C,"he said.
"What, cancer?"
"No,dyslexia."
I start a new job in Seoul next week. I thought it was a good Korea move.
I was driving this morning when I saw an AA van parked. The driver was sobbing uncontrollably and looked very miserable. I thought to myself 'that guy's heading for a breakdown'.
