CHAIRMAN’S CHAT
Hi all.
It's a bit of a quiet time for
the club this time of year,
cars are tucked away in
garages and still dark
evenings keeping people
by the fire side. Spring will soon be here
however so start planing your calendar to get
the best fun from your classic. Our runs and
events calendar is starting to fill up, with club
runs and lunches but also national events.
Drive It day is on again in April. Celebrations
for the 30th anniversary of the MGF are
happening in July, Goodwood revival and of
course our own Brunel run in September.
There are also the usual favourites of MGs in
the Park and Cotswold Caper as well as
classic racing at Castle Combe, it's all to easy
to get double booked.
Happy Motoring.

SECRETARIES’
SLOT
Hi all
Wishing all of
our Bristol
members a belated Happy New Year.
Thank you to all of those who attended the
December club night, Andrew, Violet and
Richard for the movie quiz, which was so
much more tricky than the previous one. To
those who helped set up and clear away after
the event. Not to mention Mr Costco for the
yummy eats. We raised a good amount on the
raffle, all proceeds will go into our fundraising
pot for Barton Camp.
Unless our eyes deceive us, it does appear to
be a little bit lighter in the evenings now, Violet
and Richard have quite a few upcoming
events already for this year, please ensure
that you keep them advised of any that you
wish to attend.
We have once again been invited to Triggol's
farm. We have decided to arrange this for
Sunday 6 July, in place of our usual Bring
Your MG to Club Night event. Many members
enjoyed the picnic we had there last year and
we hope for a larger turnout this year. It is a
fabulous opportunity to view their extensive
range of vintage vehicles, used both for
weddings, TV and film.
The National MG Owners Club have
reinstated their club magazine competition,
due to the short time frame, we have chosen
to submit the one we felt best portrayed our
club and events.
We look forward to blowing the cobwebs off
and enjoying some MG driving.

A plea for the
magazine:
It takes all of two
minutes to stop and
take a picture; how
many of you now own
a digital camera?
How many of you own
a computer? It would
be lovely to feature
some members cars
being used as they
should each month. It
is so simple to email
them, just say who its
from and where it was
taken, if you wish to
write more we will be
more than pleased.
Email to MAGAZINE
PHOTOS - thankyou.
The magazine is
financed by both your
membership fees and
our advertisers. If
you, or anyone you
know, wishes to
advertise in Fast
Forward then here
are the rates - full
page £15, half page
£10, quarter page £5.
There are 6 issues a
year so the maximum
cost is £90. Copies go
to all members plus
copies are handed
out at Moss, Chris
Leverett Classics and
at any shows we
attend.
Thank you to everyone who
sends in reports for the
magazine.
Word documents are great for
words (as the name suggests)
but make a poor job of photos.
So, please include your photos
into the Word document by all
means but also email photos in
separately so that the best can
be made of them.
Thank you - Pauline
CHANGES AT MOSS BRISTOL:
Moss Europe Ltd decided recently that to
continue to support the classic car
community the only way forward was to
have all of its stock holding held in one
location. This decision follows almost all
of the classic car parts suppliers and it is
a trend seen across many industries
worldwide with the growth of mail order
and internet sales in recent times.
Appreciating this is not ideal for those
dedicated customers and friends who
normally collect goods but the actions
were taken to keep the supply of parts for
many years to come.
All the sales staff within the Bristol branch
are still here, still working hard and still
able to advise and support those needing
that personal service. The shop is now
closed but we can be contacted on 01179
232523 as before. The website improves
day by day for those wanting to shop
online but please feel free to support our
local team by calling up.
The Bristol team will continue to enjoy
classic MG’s and there will be no escape
from seeing us in the future as we will
continue to support the community by
way of many classic car shows and
events into 2025.
