As this is the December edition of Miscellany, I would like to thank everyone who has organised a ThamesMOG event this year, and everyone who has supported them through their attendance. Being able to meet-up with friends makes these things worthwhile. Some good news! We're thrilled to announce the arrival of our official Morgan Sports Car Club merchandise! With the iconic Thames Valley Morgan Centre's logo embroidered on many items, we've got a fantastic selection for you. From stylish hats and cosy coats to practical bags and sharp shirts, there are 65 different products available—most with customisation options for that
ThamesMOG has continued to enjoy a very busy year of events with, in October, our visit to the ‘Greatmoor Energy from Waste Plant’. This was so popular that it was sold out months in advance. On behalf of our Centre members I would like to thank ThamesMOG member Chris Beck for arranging a bumper-bundle of interesting and varied events throughout 2024. Our next event is on Sunday 3rd November when we join with HopMOG and SexMOG for our annual visit to view the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run at The Jack & Jill pub in Clayton. I have always
As I write this, 25 ThamesMOG members are preparing their Morgans, and packing their bags, for our Centre’s trip to Llanerchindda Farm in Carmarthenshire.

This is our third visit here, so you can tell we really enjoy it there. I hope that the weather was fine for them. ThamesMOG have had a busy time in the past few weeks, with a dozen Morgans visiting the White Waltham airfield for their Members Day fly-in at
On Thursday 2nd May we held our 2024 AGM as part of our first Thursday Noggin at the Bird in Hand. It was good that there was such a large turnout at our AGM. AGMs can be quite dry events, and I know that some of you thought the proceedings would go on for an hour or so. I hope you found ours to be light-hearted yet informative, and we completed the formal part of the meeting without it dragging on. I would like to thank everyone that attended. I also thank those of you that gave your apologies. This
It certainly feels warmer days are coming, eventually. This is just in time for the busy season we have ahead. As described below. Our visit to the BMW Mini factory in Oxford is now full booked, however we do have two events in May to look forward to. On Tuesd>. F>. Our monthly Noggins continue to be held during the winter, and we are pleased to see a lively turn out of members at The Bird in Hand on the first Thursday of every month, and The Harte and Magpies for lunch on the third Sunday of every month.

Our members have had some adventurous tours this summer: some have had a road trip of over 2,500 miles through Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland; whilst others drove to Le Mans where their Morgan took part in a display at Mulsanne Corner prior to this year’s 24 Hours race. I wonder how they managed with temperatures approaching 40 centigrade in some places. I popped down to Aquitaine, in the past I have travelled mostly by train or plane. It may have taken 10 hours but the roads were really good with no traffic jams. I guess everyone could have
