CHAIRMAN’S CHAT Hi all. This month I want to give a shout out to this very magazine. You may have seen the column in March Issue of the national Enjoying MG (page 7) about the MGOC newsletter competition. Congratulations go to Winchester MGOC for the overall award, but Fast Forward from BAMGOC was mentioned as a worthy runner-up. It was noted that it was lovely to have a real printed magazine you could hold. There have been a few discussions at committee about what form the magazine could take. The costs of printing and postage are one of our larger outgoings (Club night room hire pays for itself with the raffles) so ideas of making it an on-line magazine have been talked about. We will of course have a proper consultation about this should it ever get more serious but please tell us what you think. The compiling and editing of the magazine is no small task, so I’d like to say a big thanks to the editor and secretaries for all the hard work that goes in to make this happen at all. The magazine, excellent though it is, can only be as good as its contents and we are always on the look out for pieces to go in and make it as entertaining and informative as possible. I’m sure many members will have an interesting article in them. Have you taken your car on a foreign trip ?, had an unusual or embarrassing breakdown ?, or used it for a family wedding? If something from the MG world is interesting to you, it’s probably interesting to others too so don’t be shy, put pen to paper (or start typing these days). I’ll put my hand up here, I have been promising an article for ages, and this has spurred me on to get on with it so expect something in the near future. That's all for now. Happy Motoring. Andrew
SECRETARIES’ SLOT Hi all Well, we made it to the final - our magazine that is, we came second in the National MG Owners Club competition, and were the only area who submitted a paper copy, a positive comment mage by the judges. Due to the ever rising costs of postage, we are looking at options for our magazine, if we can sort the techy bit out we may offer members the option of receiving our magazine either in paper form as now, or via an online link. the committee would be pleased to hear your views please. By the time you receive this copy, the clocks will have 'sprung' forward which means ever more daylight in which to be out and about in our cars. Bookings for our Brunel event in September are trickling in, we would be pleased if it were more of a torrent from our Bristol members, although it seems a long way away, plans have to be made in advance and it is very helpful to get an idea of numbers to assist those plans. As always Pauline will be delighted to receive a few words and photographs of any outings members undertake, whether BAMGOC organised or not. After all this is a members’ production and your input is always appreciated Hélène and Pauline

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.
