CALENDAR CHANGE: 2021 MOGSouth Noggin / Cars and Coffee at Amelia Island (New Dates: 21-22 May)

The Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance has rescheduled their Concours event. It was in March 2021 but now has move to May 20-23, 2021. The MOGSouth Noggin is now the evening of 21 May and the Cars and Coffee at Amelia is 22 May, 2021.

The location for the Friday evening MOGSouth Noggin is new this year. Last year’s location had certain advantages but there were also some disadvantages.

MOGSouth will now have the Noggin on Friday evening (May 21, 2021) at the Surf Restaurant along A1A, 3199 S. Fletcher Avenue, Fernandina Beach, FL.

We will convene the MOGSouth Noggin around 5 PM at the Surf Restaurant.

We haven’t used this location for the Noggin, as yet, but the staff seems quite excited to have us. The menu looks quite good and there appears to be sufficient parking. (Click on the link above to go to their web page!) We have negotiated a completely outside patio location, so do bring a wind breaker if the weather gets a bit cool, and if you are more comfortable with a mask, bring it! Please don’t come if you are feeling ill or have symptoms of the recent virus.

The Saturday Cars and Coffee event (May 22, 2021) will be held as usual, the Saturday following the MOGSouth Noggin, the day before the big Concours d’Elegance on Sunday, May 23, 2021. All acceptances previously provided by the Concours organizers will be honored for the changed dates.

You don’t have to do anything unless you have a conflict. Email Jennifer Grosse: JGrosse@ameliaconcours.org but only if you are now unable to go.

As is the norm, all the Morgans will rendezvous on Saturday morning at 0730, before the Cars and Coffee event. (There is parking in the lot out front of the Surf Restaurant, as well as behind the restaurant. Note: We will only stay a few minutes and then head off to the Cars and Coffee location.) This will give us sufficient time to drive to the Cars and Coffee event and get parked together in the designated Morgan area.

Looking forward to the event and hope to see you there!! There will be more information published if and when it becomes available.

Cheers, Mark

  1. I don’t think the cold will be a problem in May but looking forward to the change in the date. Got my hotel reservations changed this afternoon. I hope more people will be able to make it.

    • Nancy, the answer is no, but there may be options. According to the Amelia Island web site the Cars and Coffee event is full. However, there are sometimes folks that signed up, got an acceptance but for what ever reason cannot go. These folks have acceptance letters that will get you in. I have put the word out that if folks, with acceptance letters, decide not to go to give the letters. I can them get them to you. I already have you on the list (2) of folks looking.

      Cheers,
      Mark

  2. As usual these days, I’m a day late and a $1 short. I began my day with 136 emails waiting on me. I would appreciate receiving the information on arrangements for our 2021 Noggin. I also need to know if I owe any dues.
