NCC Annual Meeting & Picnic
N
CC held its Annual Meeting
and Picnic this year on May
22 at Smokey Glen Farm in
Gaithersburg, MD. Smokey Glen
Farm provides a pastoral setting,
complete with recreation facilities
and a big red barn for open-air
meetings.
The event kicked off with Cars
& Coffee, an NCC specialty. Our
volunteers guided arriving attendees
towards parking based on
the classification of their BMW
vehicle: Classic, Classic M,
Modern, and Modern M. After
parking and checking in at registration,
most attendees strolled
around the grassy parking area
with their ballots to peruse and
vote for their favorite cars. The cars were an eclectic assortment; some
thoroughly detailed, some bring-your-car-as-is, some sedans, some
coupes, some X-cars, some M-cars, some old cars, some new cars. I think
I saw everything from a couple of 1970s era 2002s to an almost-new
M8 Competition. As always, Cars & Coffee also served as an opportunity to
chat with fellow club members, fellow enthusiasts of our Ultimate Driving
Machines.
After everyone turned in their ballots, it was time for the business meeting,
held in the big red barn. You'll be happy to know that the state of our
BMW CCA chapter is excellent. Our National Capital Chapter is still the

largest and most active in the
country, with over 4,500 members
and over 100 event-days per
year. Many thanks to our officers,
Paul Seto (President), James
Laws (Vice-President), John
Walker (Treasurer), and Robert
Hopkins (Secretary) for keeping
us in good shape.
Upon conclusion of the
business portion of the meeting,
it was time for lunch! Smokey
Glen Farm served us a barbeque
smorgasbord-their
specialty.

more pies.
The feast included barbecued
chicken, ribs, beef brisket, garden
salad, potato salad, and coleslaw.
There was even a tub of applesauce.
To top it off at dessert
time, the servers brought out a five gallon drum of homestyle French
vanilla ice cream (extra rich and creamy) and a variety of fruit pies; I think
that the cherry pie and the peach pie might have been the best.
Once everyone's appetites were sated, we were regaled with some
driving stories and tall tales from Mike Renner, our guest from the BMW
Performance Center. Mike has been on the BMW Performance Center staff
for over twenty years. His bio says " Professional driving instructor Mike
Renner has competed on track, done film and photo shoots, and taught
athletes, government officials and entertainers the finer points of piloting
vehicles. He's even been serenaded by a rock star while taking him for a hot
