Sexmog Dorset Break at The Grange Oborne near Sherbourne DT9 4LA

Additional rooms are now available. Please contact Jeff Deere for details.

(From GR). Slightly unusual to copy an email on to the site but I thought it might be helpful to give Jeff’s note of 18 Feb 2025 in full:

 

As we are getting closer to this event I felt it would be useful to provide an update.
Currently, we are 31 members with 17 rooms booked. There are 4 rooms still available.
If anyone is interested please let me know and contact the hotel on 01935 813463 to make a booking.It would be nice to take up our original allocation and make it solely a Morgan event.I will have to allocate rooms back to the hotel soon.
The price is £662.40 for a Standard double and £770.40 for a Superior room and a single only rate of £536.40.There are two standard and two superior rooms available. This includes breakfasts and evening meals on the Monday and Thursday.
Closer to the date you may want to add the Wednesday and /or Thursday to dine at the hotel at our discount rate.
We have been approached by the local Morgan Group (Scrumpy Mog) to undertake a joint day out. This is planned for Wed 21st and would involve a driving route from Weymouth to Bridport (West Bay).It’s a very spectacular coastal route with a great view of Chesil Beach. There would be a lunch stop. This would be entirely optional but I will ask for numbers closer to the date.
Karen and I have also been looking at some different  ideas that may interest you. These are a few examples.
1 Sherborne which is a beautiful and historic market town. It has an Abbey with free guided tours and a castle built by Sir Walter Raleigh. The gardens are open to the public but house only Friday to Sunday. It also has a famous school. Market day Thursday.
2 Haynes  Motor Museum. 10% Discount on ticket price if you book beforehand.(15 Mins drive)
3 Dorchester and Poundbury. Poundbury was built by King Charles over the last 40 years. He kept it under wraps for a long time. The town represents his views on different styles of Architecture….very unusual. It’s worth a morning visit and has 5000 inhabitants ….hidden away. (45 Mins).
4 Well known Lulworth Cove & Durdle Door (50 mins).Scenic walks, tea shops & pub.
5 Cloud Hill (NT) home of Lawrence of Arabia and Bovington Tank Museum. Close to Wareham an estuary Saxon Town. Great place for coffee by the river in local posh hotel.( 45mins).
6 Montacute House. Elizabethan (NT).Used as a film location.(25 mins)
7 Burrow Hill Cider & Brandy Farm ( recommended by John Adam’s of Scrumpy Mog and a tour can be booked).( 20mins drive.)
8 Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Museum. Yeovilton. (20 mins). Best to book….if enough people want to go may be able to get a discount.
9 Thomas Hardy home (NT)Dorchester. Martyrs Museum Tolpuddle nearby. An interesting museum and coffee stop. ( 45 mins)
10 Sculpture by the Lake’s. Close to Dorchester. Botanical gardens, shops, restaurant and unusual sculptures.( 45 mins)
There are lots of other interesting towns and places to visit and worth doing some research to best use your time and hotel location.
Regards
Jeff Deere

Forwarded by Alan from SogMog Centre Sec

Good afternoon fellow centre secretaries, this year is the 50th Anniversary of the formation of Sogmog and to celebrate we are looking at the possibility of a gathering of Morgans at the Royal Armouries Museum based at Fort Nelson on the hill above Portsmouth. In order to have a display of cars on the parade ground we need a minimum of 50 cars.

The proposed date is Sunday 17th August.

The aim of this email is to judge potential attendance, in the hope that we get to 50 cars. So I’d be grateful if you could put this out to your members and ask them to reply to me if they would like to attend – no commitment at this stage. If we get enough interest then hopefully the event can proceed and I will publish further details to those interested.

For those of you that don’t know the Royal Armouries Museum is housed in one of the Napoleonic Forts on the top of Portsdown Hill.

If you want to know a bit more about the fort the link is as follows:

Fort Nelson

Regards Colin Cruickshank

South Coast Centre Secretary

 

Our three social secretaries and I think that we’d like to support SogMog on their birthday.

Put this date in your diaries and watch the website/emails for more details nearer the time.

In the meantime, please send an email to SogMog Centre Sec Colin Cruickshank colin_cruickshank@live.co.uk informing him of your interest.

Cheers

Alan. Centre Sec

NOTE for Sexmoggers, unfortunately this is also the date for Classics at Penshurst for which  SexMog members may have already signed up. 

This is NOT a Sexmog event but members might find this useful.

 

 

 

Hopmog and Sexmog always attend the Bexhill 100 Classic and Custom Car Show and 2025 is no exception. Les and me are co-ordinating this as usual. See Bexhill100MC

It’s on Bank Holiday Monday 25th August at Polegrove Recreation Ground, Brockley Road, Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex, TN39 3HA.

2025 is their 20th anniversary and they aim to reach £200,000 collected and given to local charities since its inception.

There is room to display 500 vehicles; an eclectic mix of Classic, American, Commercial, Custom & Modified cars and vans, also classic motorcycles and scooters. There will also be 60 trade stands and catering outlets. Music is provided by Bexhill Radio and “The Other Band” and there is also a popular dog show.

The Polegrove Recreation Ground is just inland from the beach and promenade and Bexhill town is approximately a 10-to-15 minute walk away along the seafront. Bring a picnic, use the refreshment facilities on site or enjoy a walk into town for there are numerous cafes and tea shops. Remember to bring folding chairs and sunscreen – oh, and an umbrella!

Please note your vehicle must be on site from 9.30am until 4.00pm.
