Old Business

1) Craig McLaughlin will be sending out a proposed draft of revisions to the Club’s bylaws to all Board members interested in being on that committee.

2) Stick talked a little about the sales booth the Club will have a British Car Day. He said he and Bob will publish information regarding it next month.

New Business

1) Stick was approached by Rusty Beard from the IEJC regarding setting up an Internet Discussion Forum among our clubs and Los Angeles. After some discussion, the Board felt that with JagLovers.com and several other forums available to members, this forum would be a duplication of effort.

2) Stick and Dan said that after a mottled pre-event set-up at the Concours, it might be a good idea to inventory all our tents, toss the broken ones and replace them with new. They would all be inventoried and labeled to make set-up at Club events easier. Stick, Dan and Paul will set something up.

3) Stick said he was asked if we would set up a Classified Ad page on the website. After discussion, the Board agreed it would be a good idea. It was moved by Stick and seconded by Grant that the Club offer the ads for $15 for non-members. The motion passed unanimously. Stick will produce a web page and work with Bob on the ads.

4) Stick said he and Haley made a nice PowerPoint Slide Show of our Concours and wondered if the Club should sell it to members at a nominal fee. The Board decided it was not worth the effort but Mike Smith will look into the possibility of make it downloadable from our site so members could have it for free. Mike will report his findings next meeting.

5) The Board form an Election Committee for the 2011 election. It will be chaired by Nedra, members are Dan, Dannie, and Mike Smith.

6) Stick reported that while Craig McLaughlin was researching our proposed By-Laws change proposal, he discovered that the Club was not incorporated. Having some experience in that area with the Ferrari club, he volunteered to file the necessary Articles of Incorporation and tie up loose ends.

7) Stick passed along a report from Dick Cavicke who said the visit with Jaguar archivist, John Elmgreen from Australia went very well with tours of Classic Showcase, The California Collection, and Jack Rabell's Jaguar Farms. They breakfasted the following day with Neil Hadfield. 

8) Stick said he had been approached by Vision Pulse, a company who provides meeting and conference spaces. Stick will look into it to see if the venue would be suitable for our Board meetings.

As there was no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:43p.m.  The next Board meeting is scheduled for September 15, 2010 with the location to be announced.     
  
Respectfully submitted by Stick Holmes for Dannie McLaughlin, Secretary
