I am grateful to Steve Bridge for his kind invitation to the Brighton Speed Trials. We had India summer type weather which can often happen at this tremendous event. Two Morgans were competing: a rebuilt Roadster Lightweight and a four seater with a well sorted cross-flow engine. We spoke to both of the competitors. The roadster owner was Tom Purves who turned out to be a good friend of one of Steve’s friends.  Tom being on the board of the MSA was a most interesting person to ask about the potential changes coming in the future to our beloved motorsport.

The weather for our second face to face Thursday evening Noggin at The Bell and Bottle AKA the Javatri Restaurant, Littlewick Green, was a little wet. Nevertheless, Paul and Nicola Whitworth arrived for their first club event in their anniversary Morgan. It had steel wheels and a whole host of period fittings to take us down memory lane. A lovely car, I hope you both enjoyed the evening. At the Noggin I had the pleasure of awarding the Richard Thorne Charity Trophy to Richard Clayton. Richard was out and about during lockdown visiting and helping people in his Morgan. At

We received a warm welcome to our re-started Thursday evening Noggin at The Bell and Bottle AKA the Javatree Restaurant, Littlewick Green, with us meeting there face to face. This is our regular 1st Thursday of the month Noggins. It had been a long time. David Williams had popped in a while ago and booked us up.

We are biting the bullet this month, as we plan to re-start our Thursday evening Noggins at The Bell and Bottle AKA the Javatri Restaurant, Littlewick Green, with us meeting there face to face. This is our regular 1st Thursday of the month Noggins. It has been a long time. David Williams popped in while passing and found the pub will be very pleased to see us. It will be wonderful to see you all. Let’s hope freedom day, June 21st 2021, goes ahead. Talking of June, restrictions allowing, we will have had a successful visit to The Battle of

On Thursday 6th May we held our 2020 AGM as part of our first Thursday Noggin. It was held virtually i.e. via Zoom. Afterwards we discussed events post-lockdown. It was an enjoyable evening. I would like to thank everyone that attended. I also thank those of you that gave your apologies. I really hope next time we will be able to meet up face to face, or mask to mask, as Steve Bridge drolly put it.

Please remember that on Thursday 6th May it is our first Thursday Noggin as well as our AGM. Do come along, virtually i.e. via Zoom, as after the AGM, we will be discussing events post-lockdown. We plan to make it a fun evening. When planning the celebration of our fiftieth year as a Centre, none of us could have expected to see the onset of a global pandemic.
