British Motor Club of Utah

Sunday, October 23 is the Hilton Garden Inn Brunch. This is a BMCU Club event although maybe/maybe not a driving event. The extended forecast says that the weather should be 66 degrees and sunny so you may want to take this opportunity for one last jaunt in the LBC. The address is:

762 West Heritage Park Blvd
Layton, Utah 84041
801-416-8899

This is just a couple blocks north of the Layton Hills Mall and I included directions below. We will be meeting at the Great American Grill in the main Lobby at 10:00 am. As with last year the price is still $9.95 per person and you can do the Buffet, order from the menu or do both! What a deal!

After breakfast, if the weather looks good, we’ll talk about a drive. Maybe Antelope Island or maybe Pineview?

- GGDuff and Chris

• Take exit #332.
• Turn right onto Hill Field Rd.
• Turn left onto Heritage Blvd.

The Hotel is on the northwest corner of the intersection Heritage Park Blvd and 700 West.

My, the summer was short this year! It’s already getting to be time for our fall color tour. This year we’ll be going up over Wolf Creek pass. The trees are already turning up here, so it should be a magnificent drive.

Please note that this is one of our few Sunday drives, to give some of our members who work on Saturday a chance to join in. We are keeping October 9 for a rain date just in case. Keep an eye on the website and the BMCU email list for confirmation.

We’ll meet at Hogle Zoo (end of the parking lot nearest the mouth of Emigration Canyon) at 9:00 am for a 9:30 departure through Emigration Canyon, proceeding East on I-80 we will have a secondary rendezvous at Silver Creek Junction exit 146 (after you exit go left over I-80) at a Sinclair Gas station around 10:00, leaving at 10:30.

The BMCU’s 28th anniversary Alpine Loop Run will happen on Saturday September 10, 2011. We will meet at 9:30 AM or sooner if you come earlier, on the east side of the South Towne Mall (take the 106th South exit off I-15 going east, enter the mall parking lot off 106th South or from State Street about a block north of 106th South). We will plan on departing at 10:00 AM. For those who are coming from down south, we will be stopping at about 10:45 AM for bio-reconditioning at the C-Store and Chevron Station in Alpine just before SR 92 enters Alpine Canyon.

We have the Heber Park reserved and they are letting us park on the lawn again. The sprinkler boxes will be marked/painted, so please do your best to avoid driving over them. Enter behind the  backstop, and drive across the lawn and park near the pavilion.

Bring your own lunch or find food in Heber. We have received a few items from Moss Motors, Victoria British and Harbor Freight, so we are going to have a Raffle!  So be sure to bring a nice fat wallet to buy extra tickets. We can always use extra donations, so if you have something in your garage that you know you are never going to use or can get a gift certificate or merchandise from a vendor, please bring it along and we will add it to the Raffle Prizes.

Just in case any of y’all have missed Floyd’s emails, we’ll be gathering again for the Park City Miner’s Day (Labor Day elsewhere) Parade on Monday, September 5. We’ll meet at 10 am at the top of Main Street in Park City.

This is an event we talked about at the Pot Luck dinner. This is the latest and greatest info.

When: Saturday Sept 17

Where: Hill AFB Museum, just off the ROY exit

Time: Registration starts at 7:00 am closes at 9:00 am prompt!
