Southern Council
Welcome to British Cars of New Hampshire’s (BCNH) Southern Council webpage. The club is comprised of four regional councils so that folks from different areas of our large membership don’t have to travel far to connect with members from the club.
While any member can attend any meeting at any council the rough breakdown is that the Southern council caters to members from the central/southern portion of the Granite State while the other councils serve members in their respective areas. Our council is centered in the greater Manchester area serving that population and even extending into northern Massachusetts.
The Monadnock Council serves the southwestern region and is centered in the Peterborough area. The Seacoast Council serves the southeastern area and is centered in the Portsmouth area. The Northern Council provides a connection for the folks to the north and the lakes region. Links to their webpages can be found midway down the homepage: https://www.bcnh.org/
The Southern Council meets monthly at MoeJoe’s Family Restaurant and is typically on the first Monday of the month, unless something like a holiday indicates a better date. The business portion of the meeting starts at 7:00P but most members will arrive at least an hour earlier to have dinner prior to the meeting. There is no problem arriving later and eating during the meeting. It is rare that the meetings are not done by 8:00P but, especially in nice weather, it is not unusual for foks to mill around in the restaurant and its parking lot getting caught up on any number of things.
MoeJoe’s is located at 2175 Candia Road, Manchester and is right off the Massabesic traffic circle. To view their menu and other information you can visit their website at: https://www.eatatmoejoe.com/
All you need to join us is an interest in British cars and a desire to spend some time with like-minded people. You do not even have to have a British car to be part of the family.
In short, if you’d like to be with us, we’d love to have you!
Southern Council Minister
Mike Sweet
Mike Sweet started the monarchy of British Cars of New Hampshire with six couples on a cold winter’s night in February 1991. His love of Great Britain was forged from years of playing and collecting Matchbox, Corgi, and Dinky cars and a love of James Bond movies. At the age of thirteen, a couple of guys in a Morgan passing through his hometown took the time out of their journey to talk cars with him, surprised that a very excited kid in a small town even knew what a Morgan was. He knew then that British car owners were cool.
His first car at the age of sixteen was a 1972 MGB, and in the past forty three years has had a 1970 and 1976 Triumph Spitfire, 1962 TR4, 1973 MG Midget, 1971 Jaguar XJ6, and a 1991 Mazda Miata just to shake things up. Now a small, odd collection of English bicycles takes up a bay of the garage. His furry friends Nellie and Yoshi are always eager for a ride or biscuit, usually the latter.
Mike and Deb enjoy driving their TR6 any chance they get, exploring antique shops, craft breweries, and the backroads of New England.
