Events
May 2024
Karen and I are in the process of putting together an event for next year that hopefully will be of considerable interest.
The event would be a visit to The West Hoathly Garage in West Sussex followed by a lunch at a location to be confirmed.
This garage has specialised in the rebuilding and servicing of historic Rolls Royce, Bentley and Packard cars through three generations of the Dene family. There are many unique vehicles and in some cases the cars are being totally rebuilt. Some of the cars have illustrious histories.
The Garage has changed little since the twenties and has never undertaken car club visits neither do they advertise their services. There are about 30 amazing vehicles to be viewed and the two owners have agreed to show you the cars and discuss work being carried out.
They have also agreed to clear their car park area for our Morgan’s which will provide a great picture opportunity in an area where there is very little parking.
There will have to be a limit on numbers….. 25/ 30 members for safety reasons with no more than about 18/20 Morgans, so a second event will be organised for the following week.

June 2024
This year our Annual Spring Lunch, which is slightly later than usual due to other clashing events, will be held on Sunday June 9th . By then, the weather should be better suited for open top Morgan motoring, so we look forward to a good display of cars in the dedicated car park at Haywards Heath Golf Club, our venue. The meeting time is 12 noon for a get-together and chat, with lunch at 1pm. The address is High Beech Lane, Haywards Heath, RH16 1SL.
The dress code is smart casual (no shorts or denim), although interesting waistcoats are always welcome.
We will be treated to a welcome drink on arrival followed by a three course lunch with coffee or tea to finish, all for £35 per person, to include a tip. You will find a copy of the menu attached, together with a booking form which also gives details for payment.
As usual, we will be holding our charity raffle which this year is supporting the Alzheimer’s Society in recognition of the recent death of Stuart Williamson and any suitable prize donations will be welcomed. Please make contact with Trudy Jacobs on trudie.a.jacobs@gmail.com
This year, we also plan to hold a Bring and Buy sale for your unwanted Morgan related items. Please let Jeff Deere know whether you intend to bring any items and approximate size at jeffrey_deere@hotmail.co.uk. It is suggested that a donation of 10% of all sale monies be made to club funds.
We would like to get an idea of numbers, so it would be helpful if booking forms could be returned as soon as possible, with a deadline of May 12th, by which time payment should be made and when any cheques need to be presented.
If you have any questions or problems with opening the documents etc. please contact us on pamandbobcare@btinternet.com or 07711624919. Our postal address is 18 Maple Close Haywards Heath West Sussex RN16 3RN.
