BMW Car Club GB stalwart Ron Sharrad has passed away


I received sad news yesterday, as BMW Car Club GB stalwart Ron Sharrad has passed away on 6th July 2018.

Along with his partner Kathleen Butler they were great organisers of our many trips to Europe with the BMW Car Club Europa events.

The (SAS) Southeast Active Supporters enjoyed many days and evenings with them both in, Germany, Austria, Luxemburg, Switzerland, France, Holland, etc, as well here in UK

They always managed to pressure us into being Concourse Judges on our European adventures.

When I became a BMWCC GB - London and Southeast Region committee member, and then Chairman, Ron and Kathleen were a great help in getting some of the events I arranged off the ground, with their long list of BMW AG contacts.

Car parking arranged at the BMW Four Cylinders building in Munich, which lead to our BMW USA trip!

Photograph permission at BMW ART Car display in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Plus the contacts at AC Schnitzer, which lead to many trips to them in Aachen, Germany, and of course many motor races.  

The photograph is from the 2007 - BMW Club Europa meeting, Leersum, Holland. Ron is holding the glass of white wine with his partner Kathleen beside him.

The picture is from the 2008 BMW Club Europa meeting. Engelberg, Switzerland, Ron giving orders at the farewell meal and prize giving

 Great memories and will be sadly missed. Condolences to Kathleen and family, RIP Ron
