It's that time of the year again when our clubs annual national GROWLER event is about to take place.

This year, GROWLER XI takes place at Coughton Court in Warwickshire on Saturday 17th May 2014. All XK owners (X100 and X150) are welcome to come along and display, not just XKEC (www.xkec.co.uk) members. If you have any other kind of Jaguar then you also more then welcome to attend and display in our "jaguar" display. There will be a Timeline display of XKs from 1996 to present day and also a modified display and other attractions. So come along for a great family day out. Show will be open 10am to 4pm. Cost is £10 per person which is pay on arrival. Look forward to seeing some of you there.

For a taster, here are some pics from last years event.

Hi,

Is there any camping on site or just turn up with a Jag. Would be nice to motorhome up for the weekend but a hotel will do.

Best regards

Pat.

Hi,

I'll be coming up, hotel booked for a bit of the dirty stuff too. The main reason is to see which model to go for and a good reason to change my oil burner. Would be nice to smell some petrol fumes again.

Hope you guys are as friendly as the TVR bunch of years past.

All the best

Pat.

It's that time of the year again when our clubs annual national GROWLER event is about to take place.

Now in its 12th year, GROWLER XII is taking place this coming Saturday, 16th May 2015 at Warwick Castle in Warwickshire. This year the invitation to display is open to all XK owners (X100 and X150) and F-TYPE owners and everyone is welcome.

If you have any other kind of Jaguar then you also more then welcome to attend and display in our "jaguar" area. There will be trade stands, modified XK's and other special attractions including the latest Simon Green Motorsports XKR-S race car.

So come along for a great family day out at one of the UK's most popular attractions. The show will be open from 10am to 4pm and entrance is via Bay 9 car park. Cost is £25 per car (based on two people sharing) or £15 if one person in car. No need to pre-register, simply come along on the day and pay on arrival. Cost includes access to display and of course the castle attractions.

Look forward to seeing some of you there.

Many thanks to all those who attended our clubs annual national GROWLER XII event over the weekend at Warwick Castle. With picturesque surroundings and lovely weather we couldn't have asked for more. Here are just a small selection of the photos taken on the day. In all we had 153 cars on display.

Don't have to wait that long if you don't want to as all XK and F-TYPE owners are invited along to our clubs Summer, Show & Shine event at Beaulieu Motor Museum on Saturday 8th August 2015. This event is very similar to GROWLER. Simply turn up and pay again on arrival. Show opens at 10am
