We are all aware, I’m sure, about the changes in the regulations in how personal data should be handled, so as a Centre we have developed a data protection policy. With this in mind please note that to continue to receive Event Notification and Newsletters from ThamesMOG, please read this and perform the necessary consent action as soon as you can.
As an organisation that holds personal identifiable information for our members we have to be compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations. This is set out in our data protection policy, which is available on the ThamesMOG website.
To enable this we need you to hold a website account and to indicate your consent to our policy on the website.
If you have a website account you merely need to go to the website and log in https://www.thamesmog.co.uk/aboutus/member-login.
If you do not have a website account please go here https://www.thamesmog.co.uk/register and create one. The cut-off date for doing this is 1st August. If you do not consent to ThamesMOG holding your data, we can no longer send event notices and newsletters to you or even keep you on our membership list as we will be forced to remove your details.
Please provide the necessary consent action as soon as you can.
If you have any queries, please contact our Website Master, Dave Vodden. Email:
If you go through this necessary procedure, you will continue learn about our up and coming events, and more. Please do take some time out to give us your consent to hold your information, as we continue to operate ThamesMOG.
Continuing with us you will hear about how our sub-committee are working on events for our fiftieth anniversary in 2020. These celebrations are for the foundation of our Centre; and I can say, thus far, the sub-committee are coming up with some exiting ideas. As mentioned before, we are looking to plan a year-long celebration with some distinctive events culminating in a special dinner in November (the month of our first formal noggin back in 1970). Please watch this space. The excitement builds.
ThamesMOG had another great day at this year’s Pangbourne Classic Car Show for the 4th year running. We will look forward to next year. Fortunately we had lovely weather – we the forecast for the rest of June we must consider ourselves most fortunate. Let’s hope things turn out better than expected.
Our next monthly garden visit will be another midweek event, this time our visit will be the Loseley Park gardens. The Walled Garden covers 2.5 acres and is divided into ‘rooms’ each with its own unique planting scheme and personality. There’s the Rose garden with over one thousand bushes, the Flower Garden with its maze of pathways and hidden corners and the White Garden that contrasts spectacular, showy, blooms with lush yet subtle silver and grey foliage. Then there is the extensive Herb Garden, the Organic Vegetable Garden with its unusual varieties and, just outside the walls, the wildflower meadow. Adult: £7.50. Our arrival time is 14:00.
Please remember, on Saturday 10th August, ThamesMOG are joining with the Farnham Lions for a very special fund raising day at Robert and Tanya Lewis’ premier private collection of classic and supercars. Not only is the collection stunning, but you will be able to enjoy a huge variety of cars from around the country who all gather to support this fantastic day in aid of Help for Heroes. Hyper, Super, Veteran, Classic and Sports - all will be present and a display of specialist army vehicles, as well as other attractions being finalised. Entry to the event is by ticket only. Tickets are per car with as many passengers as it is allowed to carry on the Queens highway. Those of you who have visited this private collection before well know what a splendid day it will be. Pricing - Tickets purchased between 1st April and 30th June - £25 per car. Tickets purchased after 30th June and on the gate - £30 per car. To purchase your ticket for this special day go to https://www.farnhamlions.org.uk/helpforheroes/helpforheroestickets.html
It will be great to support this Lions event. Lions International is over 100 hundred years old. This fine club is the largest service organisation in the world. It helps a lot of people in need, as they say: ’Where this is a need there is a Lion.’ I am proud we are taking part.
There is a host of other events and noggins on our events page.
