Spirit of Competition Salver 2025
Every year, at the ThamesMOG’s AGM, trophies are awarded for various Morgan achievements. Such as the member who has driven the most miles in a Morgan during the year, or who has raised the most for charity through their Morgan activities. The Spirit of Competition Salver, which is presented to the Centre member who has been the most inspirational in the spirit of competition during the year, has not been awarded since before COVID. For 2024, ThamesMOG was delighted to award the Salver to the father-and-son duo, Alan and Howard Clark. Throughout the year, Alan took part in the SpeedMog
Bentley Drivers Club 2022
It was good to meet up with some ThamesMOGers at the Bentley Drivers Club annual race day at Silverstone. I know there were others there who I did not see. I hope you all had an entertaining time. Everyone enjoyed watching the racing, viewing the fine display of vintage Bentleys, racing Morgans and a whole host of other race cars, plus meeting Morgan owners from other Centres.

Many thanks to all who ventured out, well done hopMOG for a good show of Morgans. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s a mini Silverstone classic but only costs £12:50 for a whole days entertainment Graham Larby
Brighton Speed Trials - September 2015
During the final days running up to the 2015 Brighton Speed Trials, you would have noticed adverts posted round Brighton advertising the fact Freddie Hunt, the son of the late James Hunt, would be competing in the Trials. A great selling point for sure. As a humble competitor I was oblivious of this until I fell upon the paparazzi in the paddock. The Brighton Speed Trials, which started in 1905, involves a straight line dash along Madeira Drive along the seafront. Today, it is a standing quarter mile timed run, which is a useful distance as often these times are
