Southern Council
I am David Rogers. 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. I was a member for a few years before I finally to the plunge on my 1962 MGB.
In short, if you’d like to be with us, we’d love to have you!
Southern Council Minister
Dave Rogers
David Rogers has been a BCNH member since 2010. But he and his wife Audrey did not purchase their 1963 MGB Roadster until 2013.
His interest in the MG marque started in the early 80s when an acquaintance received a Midget as a college graduation gift. For 30 years he loved the look and lines but always from afar. In 2013, after three years in the club, he himself was graduating from college (a late bloomer). It was Audrey who suggested he treat himself to the car off his dreams as a graduation present. After a bit of hunting he sealed the deal on their Old English White, MGB. Shortly after Audrey began joining him at the monthly meetings. The rest is history. “We enjoy the camaraderie of the club. Whether it be the day long drives or the multi-day getaways… Magical Mystery Tour, Speckled Hen Run… we have best time with the group and each other.” Dave is pleased to join the leadership team of the expanding BCNH car club.
