Chapter Spotlight - Santa Cruz British Motorcar Club

The Santa Cruz British Motorcar Club is a unique classic sports car organization. It is an informal gathering of British car enthusiasts who want to enjoy their cars in group tours and activities without membership fees, politics, business meetings or club government.

For over two decades the club has put on fairly regular monthly events that focus on the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains, the Monterey coast and surrounding scenic areas. Included in the activities are driving tours, British car shows, rallys, sports car races, and fun gatherings for meals and conversation. Cars represented range from MG ' s , Jaguars, Morgans, Triumphs, Austin Healeys, Lotus, Sunbeam, Daimler, Marcos, Jensen, etc. Cars conditions range from unrestored to excellent restorations.

Leadership:
The Club has no officers or formal leadership, just a selected coordinator of club activities who serves for a year or two (until they are tired or the group nominates another leader) and volunteer members who organize all weekend activities. Members range in age from young to old with a broad mix of backgrounds. Each member is invited to contribute their ideas and efforts to make the club as fun as possible.

Dues and Responsibilities:
Because there are no dues, each member is expected to contribute to some of the event planning and execution. Anyone who owns a classic British sports car and lives in the Santa Cruz Co, Santa Clara Co, San Benito Co, and Monterey area is
invited to join. You can be placed on the membership e-mail list to learn of the activities. As long as you attend a few events each year and help out a little, your membership can stay active.
