​British Car Council Inc (BCCI) Long Distance Award

The BCCI have confirmed there will be a reduced mileage requirement in order to qualify for a Long Distance Award (dash plaque) this year. Specifically, the rules are: Dash plaques will be awarded to every driver successfully completing 1000 mi or 1600 km (individual or combination of vehicles) for the 2021 driving year (1 January 2021 through 31 December 2021. All other requirements of the program, including the recording and reporting of successful participants, remain the same. Specific requirements can be found at the BCCI website.

You must provide proof of mileage driven. The easiest way is to take a picture of your starting mileage now, and again at the end of the year, a picture of your finishing mileage and include those on your end of year award application. This reduced mileage is a great opportunity to get a dash plaque. It amounts to 100 km per week for 16 weeks, or roughly two hours highway driving weekly. Good for you and your car. Please send your information to Chuck at president@ontc.net.

OVTC Tool Library

Gary Kristjansson has volunteered to take the lead on this project. Gary would like to hear from all club members about their tool needs, and the tool inventories they might be willing to share with other OVTC members. Is there a specific tool that you might need on an occasional basis that is a bit too expensive to purchase, or do you have some tools you would be willing to lend to other club members? If you have ideas about how this service to members could be set up and managed, Gary would love to hear from you. Please contact Gary at tools@ovtc.net.
