Welcome to our 2015 National Jaguar Rally website. I would like to invite/entice members and friends of all Jaguar Car Clubs in Australia to the 46th National Jaguar Rally, to be held in the City of Launceston, situated in the North of Tasmania approx 1 hours leisurely drive from the Spirit of Tasmania berth.
The Launceston Country Club Tasmania is the definitive accommodation conference venue. Nestled in unique acreage parklands on the rural fringe of Launceston, it offers lakes, gardens and an 18-hole championship golf course.
For total comfort and indulgence, savour a suite or room in the 5.0 star Country Club with your choice of enchanting lake, garden or bush land views, all the luxury inclusions you would expect; or select a cosy 4 star 1, 2 or 3 bedroom villa just 800 metres away. A free shuttle bus runs on demand to connect the two properties.
The 2015 National Rally will have a format similar to those of the past as we will be one of only 3 possible States that will conduct an ACJC sanctioned Concours.
The Rally will be officially opened at the Jaguar Australia Meet and Greet Party on the Friday evening, to be held in the Launceston Country Club Tonic Bar and Links decks overlooking the Lake and Golf Course.
On Saturday morning a cavalcade of d’Elegance and d’Etat entrants will lead the way to Royal Park for our Concours and Display Day. It is hoped we will have additional ideas for the ladies to participate in during the day. On Saturday night we will be kicking our heels up for a night of frivolity at our Gatsby Evening.
Sunday morning will see our potential sporting heroes make their way to the world-renowned Symmons Plains for an enviable day on the track. A great day for entrants and spectators alike. We will also be offering a choice of two alternative self-drive events for those not wanting to go to the sporting day. One will be a tour of 3 beautiful Historic Homes including lunch, and the other a Tour of our fantastic Tamar Valley, with a lunch and viewing of a JCCT member’s glorious gardens.
The Presentation Dinner will be held at Launceston Country Club Grand Ballroom on Sunday evening. Monday morning will come all too soon as we gather for a farewell brunch at the Tamar Valley Resort, Grindelwald to bid new and old friends a fond goodbye until next year. We will also wave off the Post Rally Tour participants as they head off to let their Jaguars take a 'Trip on the Wild Side'
Come and celebrate the Jaguar marque with like-minded enthusiasts. I look forward to welcoming you to our unique Isle for this wonderful event.
