We have been considering downsizing as well and the prospect is daunting. One thought might be to dig a large hole in the garden area and throw anything not used in the past year in to it. Once buried it will be gone but with the possibility of resurrection. Paul,Evanston

For anyone wondering what all this talk of "Old magazines" is all about, I have a box full in the loft of great examples from circa 1990 when I started my first +4 rebuild. If nothing else, they are an extraordinary mirror of a time not so long ago yet so far from today Perfect size for keeping by the loo and you'll never again want for reading matter Seems moving house is on the cards shortly and my generous loft space will be a casualty of down-sizing, so available ex Biggar or for cost of putting onto a van regards John -----Original Message----- From: Simon Fay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 10 May 2012 06:54 To: mogtalk2 Subject: Re: [mogtalk2] What happened to Miscellany? The thing with all owners club magazines is that they are only filled by contributions from the membership, so if lots of folks submit travelogs, thats what ends up in the mag. If you don't like what you are reading do something about it and submit the kind of article you might like to read. You never know it might encourage some others. Having been involved with an owners club mag in the past I can testify that it is a nightmare, copy arrives sporadically and randomly, its in the wrong format, can be littered with typos or of poor quality, all these things need to be corrected before they can be used. So if there is a well written article that fills a few pages and appears to represent what the club members like to do, it will be printed. As Richard said the club is about more than the magazine. That said, to answer the original question, ie: where has all the technical stuff gone? internet forums have pretty much filled this role regards simon On 9 May 2012, at 21:58, Ray Westwood wrote: > I agree that there are many reasons for owning a Morgan. It seems that the club (MSCC) cannot reflect all of them. I renewed my membership this year with a note stating that it had been a marginal decision with the content of Miscellany a major negative factor. I received a reply (positive factor) requesting that I submit a technical article myself. This was, perhaps, a reasonable response although I am aware of others with impressive CVs in the field of automobile engineering who have submitted technical articles without any acknowledgement, much less publication. I am inclined to think that the "Sports" in MSCC should be replaced by "Social". I doubt that I will renew again. > > Ray Westwood > > On 9 May 2012, at 21:43, Tony Ives wrote: > >> Yup, I'm a dreamer as well Colin.
