The Utah Miata club was formed in 1991, and is one of the oldest established Miata clubs in the United States. Our club celebrated it's 25th Anniversary in 2016. When Mazda created the Miata Club of America (MCA), which later became the Miata Owners Club (MOC), our club was the official chapter for Utah. Even though the MCA and MOC are now gone, our club continues to grow with an average member base of over 152 members and growing.
Each month we have a club luncheon to discuss the upcoming month’s activities and calendar of events. The luncheon is usually on the first Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m. at one of our local restaurants. The location changes from month to month. At this luncheon we offer a “door prize” drawing (or two) in which a gift is given by drawing a lucky number ticket. We also honor those members in attendance who have a birthday in the upcoming month by giving them a gift. This is why we ask for your birth-date on our application. We conduct any club business and discuss events, planned drives and activities and ask for participation from members on what they would like to do for upcoming events. This is “your” club, so we want everyone to get involved in planning activities and rides. We discuss impromptu rides, day rides, overnight events and various annually planned activities. Events and activities are planned in the early Spring for most weekends throughout the Summer and into late Fall. Some of our Annual Activities are: Tech Day, A Polar Day Ride (first ride of the season, usually in March), Summer Bar B Q (July or Aug.), Crazy Hat Drive, usually a Road Rally, and our Fall Leaf Drive (Sept/Oct). We also have other annual events such as a Planning Meeting and Club Officer’s Election in late January. In colder months in which our Miatas are tucked away in the garage, we plan other indoor activities (plays, theater) to do and also have our annual Halloween and Christmas Holiday Party. In other words, there is always something FUN to do in the Utah Miata Club.
