The Jaguar Drivers Club, Area 51 was founded in 1984 by local Jaguar enthusiasts with a common interest in owning, maintaining, and driving the world’s most beautiful automobiles. The Jaguar Drivers’ Club of Great Britain (JDC UK) http://www.jaguardriver.co.uk/ in response to a request for membership designated our Club as Area 51 of its enumerated clubs throughout the United Kingdom and the world.
The purpose of our club is to promote interest in the ownership, operation, maintenance, and preservation of Jaguar automobiles and to encourage the safe, careful, and skillful ownership of Jaguar automobiles. We act as a source of technical information, establish rules and regulations governing all activities of the Club, and always promote good sportsmanship. Membership is open to owners of Jaguar automobiles and to others interested in furthering the enjoyment of the Jaguar marque.

Monthly meetings are nominally held at area restaurants on the first Wednesday of each month. Meetings begin at 6:00p with drinks and dinner, and there is a business meeting when warranted. Regular meetings are held every month excepting January, June, and December. Meetings are moved to the second Wednesday in May and July due to the Kentucky Derby and 4th of July celebrations.
On the first Saturday in June, the club holds its annual Jaguar Showcase and Lawn Party event in conjunction with Louisville's British Sports Car Club (BSCC) British Bash. In December we hold our traditional Annual Meeting and Christmas luncheon party with an election of officers scheduled every other year.
