Greetings

Jaguar

Enthusiasts!

Who are we?

Welcome to the Jaguar Club of Southern New England, or JCSNE for short. We are an affiliate club of JCNA (Jaguar Clubs of North America) and one of the oldest among the more than 60 JCNA-affiliated Jaguar clubs in the United States and Canada. We were founded in 1968 by a group of Connecticut Jaguar enthusiasts.

Our nearest neighbor clubs are the Empire Division (Metro NY area); JDCLI, Jaguar Drivers Club of Long Island; JTC, Jaguar Touring Club (Metro NY/NJ/CT); JAG, Jaguar Auto Group (northern NJ) and JANE, Jaguar Association of New England (MA/NH). These are active, enthusiastic groups with whom we interact during their events and our own.

We hold regular club events throughout the year with such events winery tours, trips to museums and local car restoration specialists and 'tech sessions' where we get together at a member's garage to work on our cars.

Annual Car Shows

We hold two car shows annually.

One is the all-British show 2022 British Wheels On The Green which is held at the Farmington Polo club in Connecticut every Fall, and open to all Marques and ages of British Manufactured cars. You may see everything from a 1930s MG to a brand new Aston Martin.

Additionally, each year JCSNE hosts an annual ‘Concours d'Elegance’ that attracts a field of beautiful examples of the Jaguar marque with competitive classes geared towards both show-quality and ‘driven’ Jaguars. Here you can peruse photos from our 2024 JCSNE Concours June 23 held at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield, CT

JCNA Slalom (Auto Cross)

There are also club racing events at such locations as Lime Rock Park for vintage racing enthusiasts. We also hold JCNA-sanctioned slaloms (similar to Auto Cross) for those who wish to test their car’s performance in a challenging, but safe, environment. If you've never seen a JCNA slalom, here is a Video of Dean Cusano (JCSNE Member, and national Slalom Champion) in action. Slalom is great fun, and is a motor sport you can get involved in without without overly stressing your car (or yourself).

Regular Monthly Meetings

We hold two meetings every month.

Our commitee meetings are held at the iconic Olympia Diner on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington, Connecticut, on the 2^nd Tuesday each month, but it is best to always check the events calendar for up to the minute information, since meetings are occasionally moved to a different venue. Committee Meetings are informal with brief business discussions as we plan our other events. All members are welcomed to these meetings which are as much social as they are about club business.

We also hold a monthly 'Jags and Java' event on the 3rd Saturday of each month at Mozzicatos in Wallingford, CT. This is an informal get together over pastries and coffee, with plenty of time spent in the parking lot with our cars! Check the events calendar for details. We welcome anyone who's interested in Jaguars or classic British Cars - not just members of the club
