I recently learnt of the sad passing of Jeremy Tanner. The funeral was held on 3rd October for Jeremy who died suddenly on the 1st September. He was a long standing member of Thames Valley Morgan Centre. Jerry and his wife Eileen used to own a very nice plus 8 which they passed on to their son a few years ago The funeral service took place at Green Acres Chiltern which is a natural cemetery and ceremonial park set in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside, as expected there was a large attendance at the service with lots of Morgan friends. On behalf of the Centre, I send our sincere condolences to Eileen and family. Jeremy will be sadly missed.
I understand the Welsh trip to Carmarthenshire was thoroughly enjoyed by all. I was sorry to learn that Susan Bridge had a little accident while helping Steve to negotiate some sheep. Get well soon Susan
Don’t forget our Sunday Lunchtime Noggin on November 20th. Make sure you pre-book your table by contacting by contacting Chris Nickless by email (please see details on the events page).
This month, on the first Sunday in November, why not watch the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. You could decide to watch the Veterans Car Run by joining SexMog at the Jolly Tanner in Staplefield. Park your Morgans around Staplefield village green where the Jolly Tanner and The Victory Inn pubs do a great breakfast. If you plan to watch it there it is best to arrive before 9 am. The quickest and simplest way from Reading is via the M25/M23. You can take your time driving home by returning through the delightful Surrey countryside. Alternatively, you can watch the start in London. SmogMog are planning to be at Hyde Park Corner before 7 am, or you could make a day out of it by watching the Run from the finishing line situated on Brighton's Madeira Drive, from 10am onwards.
The COVID-19 is still with us, as I discovered before our First Thursday Noggin last month, so the ThamesMOG Management Committee are regularly reviewing our noggins and events. Please continue to check for the latest status on our events and meetings in the latest ThamesMOG’s newsletter, and on our website. www.thamesmog.co.uk
As you know, our number fifty badge of the ThamesMOG fiftieth anniversary car badges has been sold via auction to a Centre member. Also, please remember we still have a few badges left to sell. David Mansfield has now retired as our Regalia Officer. If you would be interested in taking on this role, please get in touch with me.
I hope you will all take care, along with your family and friends, and that you will all stay well.
Best wishes and take care, Roger.
