At this year’s AGM in May, Roger Bluff handed the Centre Secretary’s baton over to Richard Clayton and Charles Southwood. In recognition of his 27 years’ service to the Centre and the MSCC, Roger has been made an honorary member of the MSCC. ThamesMOG would like to thank Roger for the warm welcome which he has extended to all new members. The following trophies for 2025 were awarded at the AGM: The Spirit of Competition Salver to Howard Clark; The Chris Nickless Mileage Trophy to Andy Doughty; The Frank Lomax Charity Trophy to Lynne Doughty; The Spirit of Morgan Trophy

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of ThamesMOG member, Colin Wright. Colin, a ‘larger than life’ character, had owned his Morgan for less than a year, and in that time had become a regular attender at many of ThamesMOG’s events. His first event was Yattendon Classic Car Show, just after he had taken delivery of his Mog (he wasn’t sure that he would have it in time!) and we then saw him again at Silverstone for the Bentley Driver Club meeting, our visit to the Shuttleworth collection, and at the West Tisted fly-in.

What a hardy lot Morgan owners are. Despite the forecast for rain and wind, 19 ThamesMOG members attended January's Sunday-Lunchtime Noggin at the Harte and Magpies. There were even four members who don't mind getting their pride and joys wet and dirty. Top marks. I heard that a fun time was had by all. Conversation ranged from, what did you do for Christmas to what is ThamesMOG going to arrange for 2026? Well, the rain continued into February, but this did not put off a jolly crowd meeting up the Bird-in-Hand for our First-Thursday Noggin meeting. By then, conversations had moved
2026 started cold and snowy, and this certainly put the dampers on our usual New Year’s events at The Phoenix Inn, Hartley Wintney, and the Vintage Stony Car and Motorcycle Gathering. I don’t know of anyone who ventured to these events. However some hardy members of ThamesMOG did manage to venture to New Year's Day Classic Gathering at Brooklands Museum. Well done. We have lots of exciting ideas for events and visits in the next 12 months.

At this time of year, as ThamesMOG members prepare for their Christmas Lunch at the Harte and Magpies, we start to reflect on the year that has just gone by. There have been plenty of ups, and sadly a couple of downs. This year we lost Chris Nickless and Terry Tedman, both strong characters who had helped to shape the Thames Valley Centre over the years. Gone but not forgotten. On a brighter note, we have had plenty of great outings during the year. These started with the New Year’s Day meets at the Phoenix Inn and at Stony Stratford.
