Welcome!

My name is Danny and I'm the President of the Sterling British Motoring Society (SBMS) car club for 2008/2009. I appreciate your interest in our club and I thank you for visiting our website.

Our club has grown and become very active since its inception. In 2004 the club started a monthly club drive. These drives are scheduled for every third (3rd) Saturday of the month, starting in March and running through November rain or shine.

Some members attend car shows, though the majority of us just enjoy driving our Little British Cars. On occasion a group of members will attend a car show, generally in the Cincinnati or Louisville areas. Additionally, the club has become involved in the annual Concours D'elegance for the past five years, which is becoming one of Kentucky's premier car shows, held at Keeneland each year to benefit the Kentucky Children's' Hospital.

The Club occasionally has tech sessions, and they have met with great success. Topics have included everything form preparing for the driving season, to running problems, to storage considerations.

The Club has only one fund raising effort each year, and it's pretty much a big party. Our event is called the "Bluegrass British Bash" and it is a three day event that is always held locally in Lexington, Ky. during the weekend of the famous Kentucky Derby. We get attendees from all over the mid-west and as far away as Florida and Canada.

Other annual events are the Christmas dinner and the fish fry in September, the Saturday after Labor Day.

The Club meets on the first Tuesday of the month at the Old Silo Golf Course clubhouse in Mt. Sterling.

One of the Club members has taken the responsibility for the web site and has done a great job. Dues are Twenty ($20.00) per year for a family membership. Membership includes two name badges and a subscription to the British Marque newspaper. This newspaper contains newsletters from British car clubs all across the Eastern U.S.

Though the club is active and does a lot, the best part of the Club is its members. The Club has been blessed with a super group of folks and all are engaged and contribute. We pride ourselves on the absence of formality and by-laws, and appreciate that we simply want to enjoy each other's company and the common interest of driving our cars.

E-mails are sent out to keep Club members informed of Club event and the members If you would like to receive our E-mails for a while to check us out please let me know.

I hope you will consider membership and I invite you to attend a Club meeting and/or one of our monthly drives. I would encourage you to mark your calendar for our annual Bluegrass British Bash event in May.

Shoot me an E-mail or give me a call if you have any questions.
