CHAIRMAN’S CHAT Happy new year to you all, I hope you enjoyed the Christmas party. Firstly, I think this time last year I was extolling the joys of winter motoring, and encouraging everybody to get out in their classics. This year, maybe it’s the current cold snap, but I would not blame anyone for keeping their pride and joy in the garage for a few weeks until things warm a little. It’s a good opportunity though to spend a bit of tinker time doing those little jobs on the car that you just haven't got around to recently. I know I have a few jobs on mine, some missing trim caps to be replaced, an annoying rattle from under the dashboard and the roof needs a bit of TLC. So a nice hot cup of tea in the garage (maybe finished off with a chocolate biscuit) and an evening tinkering is all part of the fun. Secondly, this will be our third meet now at our new venue, Gordano Rugby Club. The feedback we've had from members about the venue is all very positive, with all the space and facilities we need for a sociable club night. The location, just off the M5 at Portbury is also very convenient for getting to [there are maps on our website]. If you haven't been to a club night for a while, please come along and try out the new venue, and join in the chatter. Andrew
SECRETARIES’ SLOT Hi All Here’s the first magazine of 2024 and we wish you all well for the coming months. It’s a slimmer magazine this month but it has a full complement of events and even has a booking form for Brunel 2024 included in its centre pages. Brunel 2023 was a great success and we’re looking to have a great time again this year. What you probably don't know is that the power of the internet has enabled this magazine to be prepared on a laptop in Australia, uploaded to Watford for printing to then be posted to your Membership Secretary, Val Scott, for distribution [thank you Val]. How times change! It wasn’t too long ago that I had to take a CD of files down to Weston super Mare and go back ten days later to collect the mags. I bet that Gutenberg never dreamed of such a future when he invented the printing press! While in Australia we have, of course, visited the Australian Motorlife Museum. I didn’t see any MGs but a week later Chris received a T-type gift! Pauline (& Hélène of course)

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
