A big thank you to John Progess ... for "volunteering" Clayton for this event
at last years annual meeting. Let this be a lesson to everyone of how
important it is to come to the annual meeting so that you too are not
"volunteered" for an event! Next years meeting is February 26th, 2011.
A beautiful day and an excellent turnout for a really nice drive. A very big
thanks to Clayton for organizing and leading the event.
Finally, congratulations to Drew Frink! A five year member and our webmaster
who drove his car on his very first event! Certainly encouragement for the
rest of us who are mired in long restorations! GGDuff

Subject: [Bmcu] Trappers Loop
What a fantastic turnout for some great weather driving we had for Trappers
Loop! I want to thank you all for coming out and for those that were unable
to
attend, you really missed out. We had at last count 25 cars carrying close
to
40 people on the trip and what a great variety of cars! Due to the oil
spill
in Liberty Park earlier this summer and the conflict with British Field
Day,
we had to move this drive to a later date and based on the comments I've
received, we should look at making this permanent. We had perfect weather
and
at least for this year, the colors in the canyons were absolutely
spectacular.
We encountered two other car clubs during the day headed in the opposite
direction and got plenty of honks & waves and lights flashing from the Ford
Model A club just outside Morgan as well as the BMW group that was coming
up
Ogden Canyon. We had alerted "The Oaks" when to expect us and they took us
right in with very little wait. A lot of good food and conversation was had
for lunch before everyone headed for home.
Just to give you an idea of the cars in attendance, we had 5 MGA's, 4 TR6's,
2
Austin-Healeys including Drew's bugeye which is back in service and looks
great, 2 TR250's, 2 Loti, Jerry Smith's beautiful XKE Coupe, a TR4, an MG
Midget,MGB,TF,YA, a Sunbeam Alpine, a Spitfire and a '62 Mini along with an
incognito Pontiac Solstice. Something for everyone.
In attendance were: Dana Green and a friend,Jon Maclean,David
Christensen,Steve Nelson,Darin Graber,John & Barbara Progess, Roger & Jamie
Dotson, Jerry Smith,Jim Stover,Rich Weyland,Duff Lawson & Chris Dunbeck,
Roger
Davis,Marty Van Nood,Rob & Mary Foye, Bob & Valerie Lux,Larry & Margaret
Farrington,Dave & Anne Spendlove, Adam King,Wade Knapp and daughter,Floyd &
Kathy Inman,Rob & Nan Green, Drew Frink and myself and Sharon and I'm sure
I'm
missing a couple others.
We got just a couple of bad pictures before our battery on the camera gave
up,
so I hoping that someone else got some good shots. I did see a couple of
people with cameras. If you did, please forward them to Drew.
Thanks again all!
Clayton
