Events planned for Centre Members

August Noggin
'OxMOG Aunt Sally Challenge'
Tuesday 3rd August

 If we are able, we plan to repeat the 'Aunt Sally Challenge' at the George & Dragon, Long Hanborough. 

NOTE THE EARLIER START
An earlier start of 6-6:30 to prepare for prompt 'chuck off' at 7:00 to allow time for games and time to eat.

​A charge of £ 13.00 per head to cover buffet and prizes (we require payment in full please) follow the instructions on your email confirming your registration)!

Bentley Drivers Day
Saturday 7th August

A popular event that combines a fine display of racing Bentleys and Morgans at the Silverstone Circuit. Centre 'trackside' parking makes a great venue for a picnic and meet up with fellow enthusiasts.

Planned for the Saturday only this year.

Tickets are available via the Silverstone Circuit website but we are waiting for confirmation that there will be Inner Circuit parking to allow us to park together rather than limited to seating in Stand.

Wells and Cheddar Tour
12th August 
​(with optional stay overs)

Stuart Green has planned a 'Drive' around the Mendips and for those that want to stop over we have now selected a hotel in Wells - Best Western Plus Swan Inn.

Here are the basics:
  • Wednesday 11th August - Travel down to Wells (accommodation at the Wells Best Western City Centre at own cost and booking)
  • Thursday 12th August - Drive out to enjoy the Mendips and Cheddar Gorge returning to Wells in afternoon (visit to Cathedral and Palace Gardens are possible).
  • Friday 13th August - Visit to Wells and depart home.

Accommodation via http://www.booking.com/Share-Mp9RvC
(or use the link below)

I expect that the numbers will be dictated by the room availability (we have not been able to hold any rooms) but we may have to cap at 12 cars due to MSCC restrictions.

If you want to come then I suggest you book via Booking.com ASAP as there is a no cost cancellation policy available at booking (at time of posting) and then let me know you are attending.

Make sure you tell us your coming by using this LINK

Chiltern Airfield & Gyrocopter visit
Rescheduled Tuesday 17th August

We have been in touch regarding a rearranged date for OxMog to visit Chiltern airfield this will be on the Tuesday 17th August @ 11:30.

​Meeting at the Macdonalds roundabout, Benson, @ 11:00.

A lunch venue can be arranged at a later date once numbers are known.

Broadway
Sunday 5th September

Lawrie has kindly organised with the Broadway Council for dedicated street parking in the centre of Broadway that have been used for featuring local car groups including Ferraris). There is a small fee to cover the Road Closure required of £ 3:50 per car but that will allow us to enjoy the area and probably cheaper that parking in the public car park!

Bring a picnic or eat in the Russells Restaurant nearby or other local restauruants.

We can accommodate 15 cars so you know what to do ... Register to Attend and we will keep you informed.

Breamore House and Country Museum
Tuesday 7th September

This is a visit being organised by our neighbours, SwanMOG and we have been invited to join them.

​Breamore House is near Fordingbridge, Hampshire, SP6 2DF.

The House is an Elizabethan mansion completed in 1583 & sits at the heart of the Estate. As you enter through the lion gates & walk up the winding drive, you’ll see a 1,000 year old yew tree & behind it is Breamore House.

The Country Museum is a post war village museum that showcases staged sets depicting traditional village life. One exhibition is a collection of scenes including a dairy, blacksmiths, school, leather worker, village cottage & more. The Museum has a particular 
focus on old farm machinery, where it holds an impressive collection of tractors & steam engines. 

The budget price is £12.00 p.p. for entrance to the house & museum. Mike will be able to fix the final price once we know how many members we have interested. Breamore House will work with us to set up a schedule that meets our requirement; this will include time in the morning to park up, have a coffee, walk around the estate, visit 
the Tea Barn, & a tour of the museum and the house. There will also be an opportunity to call in the Tea Barn for afternoon tea. The Tea Barn serves light lunches, cream teas & homemade cakes. In addition there is a well stocked Gift Shop.

The first step is for us to ask those interested in this visit to please contact Mike Smith, 
BY EMAIL, at mr.michael.smith@btinternet.com

The OxMOG Noggin is planned as usual in the evening so we will ensure we travel back in time to enjoy that as well!

September Noggin
Tuesday 7th September

Venue and details to be confirmed.
Peter Darch Memorial Challenge

Deferred from the original date of the July & August Noggin we will hold the 'Peter Darch Memorial Challenge' - a race between the model makers that constructed the 'uGear' Roadster Models.

Studio 434 Private Car Collection
Tuesday 26th October 2021

We are trying again (fourth time lucky!!) to visit this private car collection.

The visit will start at 10:00 am at Mutton Lane, Potters Bar, EN6 3AT. 

At 12:30pm lunch will be served and then all group will go the other facility at Cranbourne Industrial Estate, which is just a 2mins drive. You will spend around 2 hrs. over there.

Cost is £24 per person (minimum of 10) and additional £ 6 for sandwich lunch.

Your name will be included and we will take confirmation in the order they registered interest. The concern is the lack of suitable car parking at the venue.

Centre Calendar

Including other events of interest:

What we do..

We try to include at least one main event per month during the season (from April to November) together with a less formal 'Brunch Run'. 
  • The 'Main Event' can take the form of a meet up at a venue or may involve a drive between venues (MSA Permits permitting).
  • The 'Brunch Run' tends to be a meet up for coffee or breakfast and the choice is to return home or to continue on to places of local interest.
  • 'Noggins' form an important part of the social calendar and held every month on the first Tuesday.
  • In addition we try to include a longer trip that usually involves a weekend away and has even included trips to the Continent.
  • We hold our Annual Dinner (usually in February) as a more formal celebration of the forming of the OxMog Centre.
