Greys Court - February 2015

Never ones to be put off by the prospect of heavy rain, three hoods-down Morgans driven by their intrepid Thames Valley owners and co-drivers (wives) plus one Land Rover, with owner and dog, met up on the 4th Sunday of February to walk the grounds and woods of Greys Court. At this time of year the snow drops are fully out and presented colour to our very slippy hour-long walk around the circumference of the estate. This was followed by well-deserved coffee and cake, and a very wet drive home, hoods-up. There has been something on the site at Greys

Runnymede - March 2015

For the first time this year, the sun shone on one of the Thames Valley Morgan Centres’ Sunday walks when drivers, passengers, and dogs, in six Morgans and one Land Rover met up at Runnymede in Surrey. On our two hour walk we visited the river meadows, the Magna Carta monument, and memorials to John F. Kennedy and the Allied Air Forces of the WW2. The latter commemorates the men and women of the Commonwealth Air Forces killed in World War II, who have no known grave. I expect most of you know of the signific> which is situ> council,

RAF Benson - July 2015

'Organised by TVMOG, 24 Morgans and their crews from several Centres made the run to RAF Benson on 20th July. This is an annual event when families of those based there spend time at the station being entertained by flying displays, static aircraft and a display of vintage and classic cars.  Among the aircraft highlights were the Red Arrows, a fly-past by the one remaining airworthy Vulcan bomber, a stunning demonstration of the amazing capabilities of the Chinook, plus the opportunity to explore one from the inside.  On the automotive side, our contingent of Morgans was by far the largest

Bothy Vinyard - September 2015

Variety is the spice of life, so the saying goes, and the Thames Valley Morganeers try and get as much variety in their life as possible. On this occasion it was the Ortega, Bacchas, Findings, Perle of Alzey, along with 6 other varieties of red and white grapes that 19 members of the ThamesMog tasted during their tour of the Bothy Vineyard in Oxfordshire. Our tour started with a gentle walk around the vineyard, during which we were told about the history of the vineyard, the economics of the wine making business, viticulture, and the environmental factors which affect the

Morgan day at the White Lion - September 2015

For those in the South, the twice-monthly classic car gathering at the White Lion Antiques centre has been a welcome Sunday morning habit, and the Thames Valley centre has made it its monthly breakfast club venue. It’s a very informal gathering, usually there are 100 - 200 classic, historic and just interesting cars, plus coffee and bacon rolls, and the antiques centre to visit. At each Classic Car Breakfast meeting a different marque is highlighted and given prime display parking, and in October it was Morgan's turn. A couple of very keen Morgan owners arrived at 8 a.m., and wondered

Basildon Park - January 2015

When the days are dark and damp, and the nights long, do you ever long to be outside in the fresh air. There is nothing like a good walk to get the blood flowing, and so in January members of the Thames Valley Centre ventured out to Basildon house and grounds, and, as it was such a nice day, what better way to get there than in their Morgans. In all, seven Morgans and supporting cars, all full of intrepid walkers and dogs had a very enjoyable, if a bit slippery, 3 mile walk around the grounds. This was followed
