Saturday, 25th October Farewell dinner at the Esplanade Hotel

To cap off our Busselton mini tour in style, we’ve organised a farewell dinner for those valiant souls who’ve made it to the finish line.

Join us at 6:30pm at the Esplanade Hotel, 30–38 Marine Terrace—conveniently located just a stone’s throw from Signal Park, with ample parking right across the road.

The Esplanade’s menu offers something for every palate, including smaller serves for those who’ve perhaps overindulged in the region’s culinary delights (or just prefer room for dessert).

Let’s raise a glass to good company, good cars, and good memories!

Important Notes:

Numbers for Wednesday–Friday are capped at 30 people due to venue and catering limits.
Register and pay for the Dardanup day via Wild Apricot at registration.
For everything else, just show up in good spirits—with a full tank and an empty camera roll.
Let’s make it a long weekend to remember—great drives, great company, and plenty of chrome to shine under the Busselton sun!

Livin’ with Lucas – Fact, Fiction, and Fizzing Fuses

Lucas vacuum cleaners – the only Lucas product that doesn’t suck.”

Mythbusters moment – true or false? Let’s find out!

Join us for a light-hearted yet enlightening session on the legend (and lore) of Lucas, 50, 60, 70, even 80 years on. Bring along anything Lucas, hardware, stories, experiences, opinions, or even the faint smell of burnt wiring and help us debate the point: For or Agin?

Was Joseph Lucas truly the Prince of Darkness, or a misunderstood visionary who brought light where there was none? Did he accidentally invent intermittent wipers and self-dimming headlamps? These and other electrifying questions will be explored.

We’ll also cover essential workshop topics, including:

• Which Jaguar models require Replacement Wiring Harness Smoke

• Updates on the Churchill Injection System

• The all-new Fuse Box Adaptor (because you can never have too many fuses!)

Our special guest – John O’Brian, retired Lucas repair agent – will make a virtual appearance to shed some light on the matter.

JCCWA Members: Please register via Wild Apricot.
Guests: Contact Toolbox Coordinator Dave Simons on 0422 752 494.

Come prepared for good humour, lively discussion, and maybe a whiff of nostalgia.
