CHAIRMAN’S CHAT
Hi all.
October is our AGM month when the organising committee stands for re‑selection for another year. This year we were losing
a couple of long standing committee members and there was some concern over how we were going to cover the roles. We'll
I'm glad to say that the response from members has been most encouraging and nominations have been received to bring us
almost back to full strength.
So I'd like to say a big thank you to those we are losing for all their efforts over the years. Richard and Violet Delmas, Val Scott and Bert
Hurditch have all gone above and beyond to help make the club the success it has been, and we shall miss their invaluable contributions.
No spoilers for the new committee members here, they will be announced at club night, but we look forward to working with them and the new
perspectives and energy they will no doubt bring.
Happy motoring.
Andrew
SECRETARIES’ SLOT
Hi All
Well, The Brunel Run 2025 has come and gone and pictures can be seen on our website. Sadly,
there’s no photos of people socialising as we were all too busy to take any! So, a big thank you to
all those who came. Approximately 90 people had a good day out with 75 of them treated to an
excellent afternoon tea. Well done and thank you to the Brunel Tea Room "staff" and all the other
BAMGOC members who helped. Planning is already underway for Brunel 2026.
We had a good turn-out when Clevedon Cars & Coffee offered us a Club stand on Salthouse Fields in September – even the forecast
stormy weather stayed away! A few members also attended the Yatton Vintage Rally.
Events for our cars tend to dwindle at this time of year but, with such a blazing Summer now behind us, we can safely say that BAMGOC
has had a busy year.
A massive “thank you” to those committee members who are stepping down. Your contribution to BAMGOC is hugely appreciated and,
despite new committee members stepping up, you will be missed.

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.
