Richard Dick passed away a few days into 2021, he was a member of BCCWNC for 5 1/2 yrs with his blue 1980 Triumph TR7. He was very active in the club, joining on many drives and volunteering for AITM. He enjoyed helping coordinating parking.

He was often accompanied by his wife, Judy, and was always cheerful, many times being a joker!

Richard’s son will be keeping Richard’s beloved TR7 in the family. Judy requests that anyone wishing to honor Richard’s memory to please consider making a donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, as her and Richard did for many years.

I encourage all members to please share their stories and memories of Richard, for he surely will be missed.

BCCWNC representatives presented donation checks of $1,000 each to:
1. Meals on Wheels of Asheville & Buncombe County.
2. Council on Aging for Henderson County – Meals on Wheels program.

Due to COVID restrictions, BCCWNC was forced to cancel our Autumn in the Mountains Car Show for 2020. For more than 20 years the show has raised funds for these local Meals on Wheels charities. In lieu of 2020 show proceeds, BCCWNC members voted to use club funds to make donations to these important charities.

Terry Ramsey put together an outstanding drive for his Troyer event this year. 20 cars turned out and we spilt into two groups. Terry led one group and David Wood led the other. They took us on a pretty drive from Fletcher to Lake Lure and then out Highway 9 to Fairview. A big bccwnc thank you to Terry and David.

June 13 was the perfect day to get our British cars out for some exercise. The route included North Bear Wallow Road east of Hendersonville. It offered smooth pavement with a twisty run up to Bear Wallow Mountain and back down to the apple orchards. 18 cars and 24 members turned out for the event. Just what we needed to relieve cabin fever.
