 The
JBA Owners Club. The club is an non profit making organization
and was formed in 1987 by Geoff Payne MBE, five years after the
first JBA was built. Geoff's idea was to form a club to help
individuals build their JBA's.
Three models were available at that time, the Falcon Roadster
from 1982, then in 1985 the Javelin shown above and the Falcon
Plus 2.
The Club is extremely friendly and has increased in size from
its humble beginnings.
The prime purpose of the club
is to help members build their cars. If you have a problem you
can be sure that at least one of our members have had the same
problem and solved it.
Club membership is scattered over the British Isles and indeed
Europe, so there will be somebody near you to call on. If all
you need is a friendly voice at the other end of the phone,
we'll give you over 300 phone numbers.
All the committee
members and reps carry out duties on a voluntary basis. The
subscriptions are therefore only used to finance the production
of the clubs magazine and expenses associated with getting the
clubs displays to shows.
Events
 We
meet numerous times in the year at all the major shows and
factory open days plus events that we organize ourselves.
There are meetings and outings held all over the UK. Annual
events such as the Stoneleigh Kit Car Show and other shows.
Annual outings like the Derbyshire BBQ. Even trips abroad.
New members or
builders should come along to a meeting in your local area,
with your ordinary car. You will receive a lot of information
and help. You don't have to wait till your car is built.
Club
Shop
  The
Club has a good stock of sweatshirts, tee shirts, baseball

Marketing Officer direct from their home, name and address in

Club
Magazine
JBA
News is the magazine of the JBA Owners Club and it is published
quarterly. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. It covers club
news, future events, show reports, personality profiles, new
legislation, free members adverts, for sale or wanted items as
well as technical hints and tips.
Members who join the club part way through the year receive all
the back issues of the magazine for that year as the club likes
new members to think that they get their moneys worth.
Contributions from young and old
are always welcomed by the editor
You can send items to the magazine by ordinary post or
E-Mail
and CD or floppy disc.
You will appreciate that it's success depends entirely on the
amount of effort members are willing to put into it. So send in
your stories. Hints and Tips. Technical Knowledge. Build
details. Days out with your Falcon. Shows you have attended.
Photos of your car, in fact anything at all.
New Members
 New
members are always welcome, even non owner's who have a healthy
interest in JBA Cars, but only wish to receive the magazine and
be kept informed of developments.
The Club would however prefer more members to take an active
part in the running of the club, so if you fancy organizing a
rally or outing, the committee would like to hear from you.
Funds are available from the treasurer for these activities.
Discounts
The club have arranged
discounts with several suppliers, including JBA.
Accessories and components from various outlets and Insurance
packages.
For new owners and builders this can be a terrific saving and
it is well worth joining the club to take advantage of these
discounts. In fact the savings you can achieve can pay your
membership fees for a number of years.
The membership fee is only £16.00 from April 2005. Renewable
every April. |
