September looks set to be anything but quiet, with a lively clutch of outings, shows and noggins to tempt even the most garage-bound Morgan from under its dust sheet.

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.
