Come One, Come All!
The British Motor Club of Utah proudly announces their 2012 February Planning Meeting and Annual Pot Luck Dinner! This star studded evening of intrigue, romance and surprises is in a new location this year, The Columbus Center. Located at 2531 South and 400 East in South Salt Lake City, this venue has plenty of convenient parking and an interesting building history. Check out the links below for details:
Saturday, February 4th is the date to circle on your calendar. We will have a “meet and greet” and start setting out the food beginning at 6:00 P.M. with the dinner to begin at 7:00. The remainder of the evening will be our one and only business meeting and calendar planning session of the entire year! We’re not really as well organized as that statement sounds, but we have a long and proud history of not filling up our calendar with meetings!
This is your opportunity to voice your opinions, concerns and interests for the events of the coming year. Please bring your ideas, enthusiasm and a tasty dish for an evening of LBC talk and bench racing.
In addition to the Delectable Pot Luck item of your choice, don’t forget to bring your checkbook! Mitch Johnson and Paul “The Bag Man” Jaroch will have all of the Club Regalia that you have been waiting for. Be sure to congratulate Mitch on the “most excellent” new golf shirt. Likewise, the new Club Patch is available for sewing on to whatever you can think of! Car Badges, Decals, Key Fobs… the list is immense and you’ll want one of everything.*

Donations to the Club Treasury are always welcome. BYOB, (unfortunately NO alcoholic beverages allowed). Plastic silverware, plates and napkins will be provided. Please bring any serving utensils needed for your Pot Luck item. Copyright © 2012 British Motor Club of Utah. All Rights Reserved.

Saturday, November 12th was a pretty mucky day for weather so, what a better way to spend it than indoors looking at classic cars! A group of brave BMCU folk made the trek to Willard to visit the Millstream Classic Car Collection. Jack Smith owner was as always the perfect host and ready with some great stories about the cars. This is quite the labor of love for him since a great number of these cars have been in his family all along. He’s very relaxed to the point that if you have a notion to sit in one of these beauties, he’s all for it. He wants people to enjoy these classics as much as he does.
He built this larger facility to better display his collection, and yet does not charge an entrance fee! There is also a large amount of antiques and memorabilia. After everyone got a good dose of memories, we all scampered off to our warm cars and various Saturday projects..
Thanks to Jack Smith for his patience and hospitality and thanks for all that made the trip to see these fun cars!

We didn’t get a sign in list this End of Season dinner but you can see by the pictures that it was as well attended as two years back. The staff were many and attentive as was the owner, what we have come to expect from this fun an delicious venue. A good close to the driving season.

The location for this gathering became obvious when a lot of the BMCU members agreed with the choice at our planning pot luck meeting in February. Diamond Lil’s is probably one of the most unique restaurants in Utah. If you can imagine Knott’s Berry Farm you’re there. It’s a total wild west saloon and eatin’ house both inside and out and seats 500 within the various rooms. It didn’t start out this way though, it was a modest home in 1969 and remodeled with old barn wood and cabin logs to seat 32. Prime rib and bread were baked in a home sized gas oven. That was then but the original charm is still there now. We were there two years back and we are going back again.
Our group was given a very comfy banquet room with two servers dedicated to just us. The owner came by to thank us and make sure all was well. The fare was as expected, generous and down home good so this turned out quite well.
The location is 1528 W. North Temple fairly near I215. If you can get to the Red Iguana keep going west and it’s on the right. Their website for directions and the menu is:

6:00 pm on Saturday evening the 5th of November
