At the time of writing we were about to attend two sensational RAF air shows: RAF Benson; and RAF Odiham. I do hope the weather was dry and sunny for these events. When you think, anyone travelling mainland Europe recently will have probably melted in their Morgan sports cars. I have long held the belief that out temperate climate is best suited to open top motoring – not hot or no too cold. Hope any of you travelling South survived okay. This month we have, on Thursday 7th September, the next in the series of Tim’s Tours and great fun
We have a very enjoyable day at Fawley Railway museum, early last month. I mastered for the first time how to get on and off those horses on the carousel. They were my mother’s favourite. I remember being taken on them as a child and wanting to get off as it was whirling round. I dismounted the horse and headed for the edge while my father frantically prepared himself for my imminent leap. How he would have caught me, I don’t know. But now I can ride them with joy and happy memories of my childhood. They all flooded back
Summer is in full swing and probably by the time you read this we will have already visited Fawley Railway museum. We are very honoured to be able to go to this fine venue a dream for railway enthusiasts young and older. And this year the Jaguar Car group joined us. We of course still took pride of place in and around the museum. The Jaguars were in the grass car park overlooking proceedings. It was great to see them. It is always a great day and I would like to thank Terry Tedman for facilitating this visit. They are
Well we have a lot of news this month. Nobody knows what the future will bring. The Buddha’s last words were: ‘All conditioned things are impermanent. Strive on with diligence.’ One of the doctrines of Buddhism is the concept of impermanence, and certainly here at Thames Valley we have proved this point. After around 47 years of holding noggins, and more recently Centre dinners, Committee meetings, and AGMs we have now left the Bird In Hand, Knowl Hill. I am sad to report this change. I had hoped we could have celebrated fifty years at this noggin venue which of
I would like to thank everyone that attended Judy Mitchell’s memorial service. Quentin and his family would like to thank ThamesMOG members for their kind support. Quentin has now moved to Kent and has regular to trips to Dover and the white cliffs in his Morgan. We hope you will be able to keep in touch with us. On behalf of the Centre, I wish all the best for the future to Quentin and his family. Please remember that this month, it is our AGM, and also that the Chairman of the Morgan Motor Company, Dominic Riley, will be joining
It is with great sadness that I am reporting the passing of Judy Mitchell in March. Judy and her husband Quentin had been regular supporters of ThamesMOG being members for many years. They had moved to Kent just before Christmas, and in January this year Judy and Quentin had joined us for our New Year Dinner. To quote Quentin, “Judy really enjoyed being a Moganeer”. I would like to pass on our sincere love and condolences to Quentin and to Judy’s family at this sad time. You will all be in our thoughts. On a happier note, it is with
