There was a good turnout for the BAHC annual Sweetheart's Dinner. This year the dinner was, as in past years, held at the Cinegrill in downtown SLC.

There was an excellent turnout for the BAHC Holiday Party at Al Forno's restaurant in downtown SLC.  The social "half hour" started at 6:30 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. I cannot speak for the other attendees but I thought both food and service were terrific.

Oct. 3: Fall Colour Tour

We had a very good turnout for the Fall Colour Tour on Saturday. We met at the east end of the Hogle Zoo parking lot and at 9 a.m., headed up Immigration Canyon to Mt. Dell and then on to I-80. We met up with the Revels at Silver junction.

Then proceeded to US 40, over Wolf Creek Pass and on to Hanna. We met up with the Riemenschneiders on the way. It is Elk season and the mountains were crawling with hunters. We had lunch at the Hanna Lounge and Cafe ... a bit of a wait (I think our crowd, along with all of the hunters, overwhelmed the staff) but was worth it.

The weather was not terribly great - overcast most of the day and even saw a few flakes of snow on the passes. After lunch, some of us opted to return to SLC the way we came. The rest headed back to SLC via Heber City.

Attendees included:

Dave and Sandy Maxwell, Ernie and Vickie Reno, Bob Jahnke and Jim and Susan Revel (all with Healeys), Doug and Ann Lewis, Bob and Fran Riemenschneider,Jon Hanson and Jill Owen, Don and Julie McEligot, Don and Marian Colman, John and Gloria Morrison and Joe Morley

Sept. 11: Reception for the Healeys Return to Bonneville Team

The BAHC hosted a welcoming party/reception for the Healeys Return to Bonneville Team. This event was held at Don and Marian Colman's home and the dinner was catered by Joe Morley (Morley's BBQ - great food!) of the BAHC. There was an excellent turnout - in the neighborhood of 50 people - to welcome the team.

Project Team members include:

Steve Pike (Australia) - constructor

Charles Matthews (England) - team manager

Bruno Verstraete (Switzerland) - CFO and Webmaster

Joe Jarick (Australia) - historical context and technical adviser

Patrick Quinn (Australia) - public relations

Marco Trevisan (Switzerland) - technical adviser

Roy Jackson-Moore (England) - endurance car and streamliner driver, 1954 (amongst many other things!)

This was a great event to kick off the next 7 days of activities relating to Healeys Return to Bonneville.
