I would like to congratulate Brighton Centre and all their associates for all their hard work in providing us with a fantastic international Morgan meeting at Goodwood back in August. Also, I would like to thank the gymkhana team for putting on a fun event, worthy of the stupendous surroundings of Goodwood. The team pulled through many months of hard work, of preparations and rehearsals which showed so terrifically on the day. I think well done is due all-round. I must say though, when seeing our very own Miss Moneypenny on the day, I thought, I wouldn't mind being her

Firstly, I would like to congratulate Martin and Jane West on their purchase of a rather stunning Aero 8 that they fell in love with while visiting the Festival of Speed back in July. I wish you both many happy miles in your new steed. The Aero 8 count in the Centre continues to notch up. Perhaps we can organise a future noggin so that you can all line up for a photo shoot. The fish bone parking arrangements at the Bird In Hand would possibly make a suitable venue. If you are not planning to attend our first Sunday

 Rather belatedly I would like to congratulate Robin and Yvette Henderson on their recent nuptials. In a way our latest trip to Ireland was a sort of honeymoon for Robin and Yvette. I was therefore pleased that our host in Cong, in their honour, gave them the "Sean Thornton" room for their stay in the Quiet Man guest house, every room is dedicated to a character from this famous movie. During our stay and our re-enactment, of course Robin and Yvette had the John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara roles while I appropriately had the Michaleen Oge Flynn; the matchmaker part

  The main event for August is of course MOG 007 at Goodwood. We are involved in a big way as we shall be running the gymkhana. I would like to wish everyone involved all the best for what I am sure will be a tremendous event. Mike Smith has produced an impressive plan view of how the various games will link together; I must say I am looking forward to the day much indeed. Naturally, we are still looking for volunteers to act as marshals. A good number of people have come forward but we still need more. If

While you read this Centre report, a party of us will hopefully be touring Ireland in our trusted Morgans, ultimately visiting fellow enthusiasts in the Wicklow and South Dublin area. We shall tell you all about it on our return. I have recently had a computer failure at home, which I suspect you will be sorry to hear. This has meant that in the intervening time my email account has accumulated a colossal amount of spam; unwanted, unsolicited electronic post. Amongst this overloading of my computer I fear that I may have lost some important messages. I know I have

Our exciting plans for Ireland have now been finalised. The tour, for most of us, begins at Cong; continues to Killarney; then onto Waterford ending at Bray for a chance to have a look round the fascinating City of Dublin. Please contact Robin Henderson if you would like to join us. I believe it is going to be a tremendous holiday. A good dozen of so of us have booked our ferries, please contact Robin if you would like to know our full itinerary. Towards the end of the trip Peter Page and I hope to spend sometime in the
