CHAIRMAN’S CHAT Hi all. This month I need to put out a plea to members. At the AGM in October when the committee get re-elected we face the prospect of a four long standing committee members not re-standing. Without new committee members the work will fall onto fewer heads and this is neither fair on the remaining heads nor good for the club or its members. If we want the club to continue and thrive we need more heads to share the tasks, and preferably fresh heads who will bring new ideas and perspectives. In short we will need to find some members willing to help us in the running of the club. The club has been operating on an event keel for many years so we have established tools for working the various roles, membership and accounts spreadsheets, newsletter templates etc are all set up so someone coming in will not be faced with a mountain to climb, and the current members will be on hand to help and hand over. We hold an informal committee night once a month. So please have a serious think if you can spare a little time to help out. Talk to us if you want to know more, put in your nomination form and we look forward to welcoming you. Andrew
SECRETARIES’ SLOT Hi All As the great summer weather carries on, we hope that everyone made the most of the preschool holiday road mayhem. Club members and friends enjoyed another day out at Barn Farm, once again Roger and Andrew Triggoll invited us to view their amazing collection of vintage cars, many used in films. There were some ‘work in progress’ vehicles too, and lots of opinions on the restoration. Thank you to Pauline for yet another lovely run through the lanes of North Somerset en route to Barn Farm, we look forward to our visit in September for apple pressing (details of which have been sent out via your email newsletter from Violet and Richard) Another reminder of our Brunel Run on September 6th, we will be closing the entrant list soon. In between magazines all details of events are on our website and also the email newsletter which is sent every month to those who have chosen to receive it. Our Chairman, Andrew has mentioned our upcoming AGM in his ‘Chat’ with details of some ‘vacancies’. 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.
