Greetings to all XKEC members and friends. 

At Western Shires, we are a very interactive group with all members having equal input as to our varied event calendar. We do not have a designated monthly meeting place, but choose different locations around the Western Shires area. We are always actively looking for new members to join our club, including interacting with the owners of XK cars at shows + car parks.

An annual calendar of our gatherings alongside club events is sent out to Western Shire members in Dec and updated quarterly for the following of our monthly social events, including Sunday Lunches.

Drives around the lovely areas of the Cotswolds and Worcester/Herefordshire countryside. Special events of interest such as Shelsley Walsh Nostalgia Weekend, where we set up the gazebo for the comfort of not only our group but any other like minded enthusiasts, or anyone who needs shelter from the rain or sun. It’s a great way to meet people and introduce them to the attributes of the XKEC.

Also for the national events such as Growler or the Black Country Museum visit, a central meeting point is decided and those that wish can convoy to the destination.

 

Sunday Lunch Meets are spread around around the extensive area of Western Shires, keeping the journey time within an hour if possible. Interaction with other areas of the XKEC is very important to us and we will combine whenever we can get a joint assembly organized.

 

The monthly breakfast meeting is organized by myself at the Trouble House (details below).

 

We are a very friendly bunch and if advice is requested, usually one of the group can help. To any XK/XK8/XKR enthusiasts in the area, if you would like to come along to any of our events, you would be made very welcome. Safe and enjoyable Jaguar motoring to you all.
