CHAIRMAN’S CHAT
Hi all.
It was good to see so
many members at recent
club nights, the summer is
on its way and we are
getting out and about more.
We are planning our our main event of the
year, the Brunel Run. It's a different format this
year with a day run on a theme of
"Strawberries and Steam". If you haven't
booked yet please do.
On a different note I see the MG Xpower
branding from the 2000's is making a come-
back. One of the new companies electric
hatchbacks now has an Xpower model, with 0-
62 in 3.8 seconds, and a "Track Day" mode on
the dashboard. Whatever next!
Happy motoring

SECRETARIES’
SLOT
Hi all
What wonderful
weather we have
been having (at the time of writing of course,
we could have snow at any time knowing our
climate). BAMGOC members have been
taking full advantage of the sun. A great 'Drive
It Day' run from Violet and Richard. Plenty of
twists and turns, I had no co-driver so I made
good use of my accelerator pedal and
followed Chris and Pauline. Following a very
scenic run we arrived at the Churchill Inn for
lunch, and a splendid meal it was too.
Some of our troops travelled to Exeter for the
'More to See' run which I understand was a
great day out.
We are very keen that more BAMGOC
members sign up for the Brunel event in
September, we have had bookings from far
and wide but we need them from close and
near too.
Our fundraiser,Tina, would welcome some
nice prizes for the Brunel raffle, preferably
enrobed in glass, or some MG related gifts.
We are going to start selling raffle tickets for
this event at club nights from June. All
proceeds, as always are for Barton Camp,
who have been so generous in the past letting
us use their facilities and grounds for Brunel
weekends.
In closing we are chanting to the weather
gods for good weather for lots of upcoming
events.
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.
