Midlands Breakfast Club returns for 2016!!
Discussion
Just to confirm, the Midlands Breakfast Club will return in 2016.
We have found a superb venue which not many people will have heard of, but is a superb place to visit and is a place that will appeal to people of all ages and has something for everyone. We have pencilled in 5 dates for 2016. The location is the British Ironworks Centre and Sculpture Park, Whitehall Farm, nr Oswestry. Many of you may not of heard of it, but trust me, it is a superb place to visit and is a superb place to hold an event. It's on the main A5 between Shrewsbury and Oswestry and is a perfect driving road on a Sunday morning.
The provisional dates planned for 2016 are:
24th April,
26th June,
21st August,
23rd October
and a big Christmas meet on the 18th December.
The format will be the same, park up, grab breakfast and a coffee and enjoy the event.
There is no issue with the amount of cars as they have plenty of overflow parking (acres upon acres), We will be able to show the cars off around the perimeter on the grassed area as long as it's not overly muddy! There is a lot to see at the centre, cafe (new restaurant opening), giant sculptures, falconry, working blacksmiths, silversmith, coppersmith, art/sculpture gallery, vintage garage, and shop. The centre is privately owned and they are looking forward to having us along and will be far more giving with help than other places I could mention! Staff will be provided on the day to assist with parking, and I might actually be able to sit down and grab a breakfast! We are also working on a few other things to make it a nice experience for everyone and plan an organisers choice 'favourite car' with prizes such as half a day with a Blacksmith. And the event will remain free and zero parking charges!!!!!!

Will be good to catch up! it's been a while!
Just posted this on the main Breakfast Club FB page so worth posting here as well
Just a heads up to anyone planning to attend Sundays event. the event is scheduled to run from 9am to midday. People are more than welcome to stop over if they so wish. there is plenty to see and do for all the family!
The main gates to the British Ironwork Centre will open at 08:30 to allow cars in early to avoid queuing traffic on the main A5. Staff/marshalls will be on hand to show people were to park. We can only guarantee to get clubs parked together, if you all arrive together! Bacon/Sausage baps and tea/coffee will be served from 9am under the large veranda outside the main shop/cafe/restaurant. There will also be ample seating around the event. The main cafe area will be open from approx 10am and offers a lovely variety of cakes and chocolates as well as hot snacks, and beverages.
Please respect our hosts whilst on site. Clive, Ben and their team at the British Ironworks Centre want to make sure everyone who comes, enjoys the whole experience and I would personally ask everyone who attends, to respect their generosity in allowing us to hold the event here. We do not expect any speeding whilst on site, no revving of engines and no loud stereos. Anyone who breaches these 3 rules, will quite simply, be asked to leave and will not be welcome to any further events.
This event is run by myself (Alistair Cox), a self confessed petrol head, classic car enthusiast and collector, with the help and assistance of the staff a the British Ironworks Centre. It is run purely for the love of cars and not for profit. There is lots to see at the Ironworks centre and we hope you take time to look around the sculpture park, the main shop and gallery.
Thank you for your co-operation Alistair and the staff at the British Ironworks Centre
