BAMGOC’s supported
charity
BAMGOC is essentially a club for MG
owners (although anyone with an interest in
classic cars is welcome here).
However, apart from our monthly meetings,
Sunday Runs, weekends away and
attendance at local events, we also raise
some money for a nominated charity. Funds
are raised at our annual Brunel Run and at
various other designated events.
Since 2007 we have supported the Bristol
Children's Help Society and their Barton
Camp facility near Winscombe.
Bristol Children’s Help Society offers
residential and outdoor learning
experiences for children whose personal
circumstances have significantly depleted
their life opportunities. This could be the
result of a wide variety of situations
including disability, poverty, parental drug or
alcohol misuse, their own status (including
being in care or a carer), entering the UK as
a refugee, bereavement or mental health
issues. Their aim is to promote aspiration,
self-determination and resilience through a
range of outdoor, team building activities in
a rural residential setting.
BAMGOC has been privileged to use
Barton Camp for our Brunel Run since
2007. The facilities there are fantastic, with
indoor accommodation and a heated
swimming pool. All the funds we raise go to
help this worthwhile charity.

excellent cause then please go to:
