Announcing the largest annual gathering of British cars, and motorcycles in
Utah: British Field Day at Liberty Park, this Saturday June 24, 9:00am -
3:00pm.

We expect 50+ Britmobiles, vintage and modern, buff and drivers, plus nearly
as many Norton, BSA, Enfield, Triumph, and other motorcycle marques from
across the pond.

For the brave of heart, we will have the road course set up again this year
on a closed access road inside the park. It promises to maybe be a little
longer and surely a bit more challenging than previous years!

During the event there will be music, laughter, shop talk, bench-racing,
meeting new people, British specialty vendors, catching up with old friends,
drawings for raffle prizes etc. Liberty Park has many amenities. There is a
newly remodeled food concession stand, one of the largest and best
playgrounds in the City, the Tracy Aviary and a small amusement park that
has a Ferris wheel and Merry-Go-Round.

Proceeds from this year's event will be donated to The Food Pantry of Saint
Paul's Episcopal Church. Last year we raised enough money to pay for 80% of
their yearly cash budget.

The event will be located in the northeast quadrant of the park. The easiest
way to get there is to go to the corner of 7th East and 13th South, drive
west one block on 13th South and make a right hand turn at the south
entrance into the park. When you have gone about a quarter of the way around
the park, you will see the event on the left.

Please help support Saint Paul's food pantry by attending, and bringing your
British cars and bikes out if you're so afflicted. Registration starts at
8:00 AM and we hope to have most cars in place by 9:00. The registration fee
is $10 per car or bike. A $5.00 donation is requested per adult. Kids 12 and
under are free. There will be a family pass available this year.
