June 2013 22nd Annual BRITISH FIELD DAY 9am to 3pm, Saturday, June 15, 2013
A major highlight of the British Motor Club of Utah social season is the annual British Field Day held at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. The cars, some familiar, others truly unique, are a sight to behold; especially when seen enmasse at a beautiful setting like Liberty Park. You can’t beat a British car and motor-cycle show on the grass and under the trees!
Of course the sights and sounds of the road course are a favorite. LBC’s are just made for this kind of fun. Try the course. It’s non-competitive (kind of)—just try it for fun or see what your best time can be. There’s no charge and you can run the course as often as you like. It’s open to British cars, motorcycles and trucks.
British Field Dayis HERE !

English weather for the Antelope Island Run. It’s raining, it’s pouring, the LBC’s are roaring.
Kimberly’s hot chocolate really hit the spot!

British Field Day 2013 Liberty Park, Saturday, June 15
9 AM - 3 PM British Field Day (BFD) will be held at Liberty Park again this year. All British cars and bikes in any condition from 100-point restorations to works in progress or an old daily beater are wel-come. All area British car/bike clubs are invited to participate. Call your fel-low club members and get them to the event! There will be a road course set up on a closed access road inside the park. It promises to be as noisy and challenging as in previous years! Liberty Park has many amenities includ-ing one of the largest and best play-grounds in the city, the Tracy Aviary and a small amusement park with a Ferris wheel and merry-go-round. Even if your family doesn't share your pas-sion for LBCs (little British cars), there will be plenty for them to do while you are getting your fix! The Salt Lake Arts Academy, a public charter school with emphasis on the arts, will be providing volunteers to as-sist with the event so the organizers can have more time for some fun, too! Publicity for BFD is being handled by the Salt Lake Community Network. The SLCN is a non-profit neighborhood ad-vocacy organization that functions as an umbrella group for Salt Lake City Community Councils. The community councils are neighborhood organizations that provide input from residents to city government. Food will be California style with a bold Asian influence including Asian tacos,
sliders, and salads plus chicken fingers with a plum-ginger sauce, a cheese quesadilla, and hot dogs for the kids, all at reasonable prices by CHOW HAUTE ASIAN CUISINE ON THE GO. The CHOW Truck will be inside the event. Liberty Park is located between 500 East & 700 East and 900 South & 1300 South. The BFD event will be held in the northeast quadrant of the park. En-ter off 1300 South and drive east and north about a quarter of the way around the park. You will see the event on the left. Please help support the Salt Lake Arts Academy and SLCN by bringing your cars and bikes out to join in the fun. Registration starts at 8 AM. We hope to have most bikes and cars in place by 9 AM. We encourage folks displaying ve-hicles to try to stay until 3 PM, but if you can only make it for a couple of hours, that is fine, too! The registration fee is $10 per bike or car. The maxi-mum registration fee is $20/registrant regardless of the number of cars or bikes they bring. A $5 donation is re-quested per adult visitor admission. Kids 12 and under are free.
