Just seen the posting:
"It is with great regret that we have to advise following ongoing trading losses that MOG Magazine will cease publication after the next issue goes on sale. Current subscribers will be contacted individually."
Personally, I'm sad.
It's the Devil's Own job to get a monthly out & make it pay, especially for such a niche market, but it's the only independent we had.

I only ever bought 2 copies as it was thin on content and detail and heavy on adverts. Some of us demand more effort for our hard earned cash.
As I have said before Fly Past magazine is written for a niche market and is a seriously researched and well written magazine, so they can and do exist in the market place.
An opportunity for Miscellaneous to get it's act together and produce something better maybe..

Bummer. I am a new owner of a Morgan and just started my subscription. I hope someone else takes it on.

I subscribed for a while, bit stopped. The reason, I needed to know how o fix the faults in my car, idling issues, leaking radiators, roadhokding issues, and so it goes. The magazine was in my opinion a Morgan commercial, but not a Morgan owner supportive organ. Sorry for being negative. Talkmorgan is my most useful resource of Morgan topics.,

Yes, it's sad to se MogMag going to the wall. And I can't see anyone taking it over, so it is a bummer for you marshalben.
I have been a subscriber for three years and have generally enjoyed it. However, it has always felt like something of an infomercial for Morgan.
Not so bad as it sounds, but a bit to coffee table at times. Strangely, I was thinking of terminating my subscription this time round...
On the plus side, you do have the distinction of being published Steve (as well as other folk on TM).

After 3 years I ended my subscription in January. They made no attempt to keep me so I am not suprised. It's a shame because the production team worked hard but against the tide in the last 12 months.

Rather a shame, I've known the publishing team since they first started. A difficult job producing a monthly magazine with limited interest and circulation and hard to connect with the bunch of old farts who own elderly Morgans. I'm not surprised that it has eventually folded.

Yes am also sorry to see it go.
It was a good idea but inevitably would struggle for circulation and content.

Its a shame since they mentioned and had photos of the new options long before the morgan website ever mentioned them.

Sorry to see it go but not surprised
I agree with the comment above that it was more a Morgan advert than a serious Morgan owners mag
But it's a difficult balancing act I guess to appeal to owners and buyers who are thinking of being owners
