**Midlands Breakfast Club Meets - 2008**
Discussion
As some of you may have seen or read, or even attended for that matter, towards the end of last year, we started up the Midlands Breakfast Clubs up in Four Ashes nr J12, M6. These proved to be very popular amongst fellow car enthusiasts and have brought together a fine array of sports, performance, retro and classic cars to drool over on an otherwise boring cold Sunday morning! We've been getting between 50 and 60 cars turn up at the meets and have basically outgrown our current meeting place, so we been in talks with the RAF museum at Cosford and have booked in dates for the Breakfast Club meets for the rest of 2008!
This is basically a free for all event, held on a Sunday morning, where a group of like minded car enthusiasts can get together and talk cars!! There is no fee for attending, no fee for parking, no fee to the museum. The only thing you need to bring is some money for breakfast (if you want it!!)
It also has the pull of the RAF Museum at Cosford, so you can even bring the wifes/girlfriends/husbands/children along as well! They have excellent facilities and there is plenty to see!
Next meet of the Midlands Breakfast Club - Sunday 3rd February 2008
The museum has a little more to offer than an Industrial Estate in Staffordshire and has something for all the family. We've been in talks with the Museum and their caterers who will be opening up earlier than normal to do "breakfast" baps, teas and coffees. I can't promise you'll get them as cheap and the bacon probably won't be as thick, but look at it this way, you get to go round the whole museum and see lot's of cars as well for nothing!
We must emphasise that the RAF Museum have been good enough to have us there (again!!) and we would like to show them some thanks and respect by driving in a safe manner whilst there, and now showboating, donuts or burnouts as there's plenty of Maccy D's car parks to do that kind of thing!!
Full address is:

Im still browsing p.h. info. Cosford seems cool, isnt it a WW2 drome, any nice piccys of flying-machines / ones with wings ?. 
Knibbo.
They're all inside the museums now. There's a full list of what's there to see here Knibbo.http://www.rafmuseum.org/cosford/collections/aircr...
We held a show there every August for 4 years and we used to get to park under the planes!! Always good for a photograph!!!
Been over to the RAF Museum this morning and sorted out a few details for the meets with the Marketing Staff. Must say, it's changed a fair bit over the past few years and the Cold War museum is stunning!! The venue itself is ideal.
We will be parking up in between the new Cold War Museum building and Hangers 2 & 3.
This is the parking area here with the Cold War Museum to the left:
There are marked parking space for around 80 cars and you could easily fit double that in the area that we have been allowed, plus there's an area down the bottom for 250+ cars as well.
This is also right next to the entrance to the main Cold War exhibition which in itself is mindblowing and well worth the visit!
This is what you can expect to see inside the Cold War Museum:
everything from Migs to Missiles, a Green Goddess and some cars )inclduing a Bug and a Trabbie, and a piece of the Berlin Wall!

Right opposite where we will be parking up is the Main Visitors centre and Cafe area.
Here's the Cafe area where you can grab your breakfast!
Plenty of seating side should you wish to grab a bite to eat and get some shelter from the weather!
We have come up with a combo deal for people coming to the Breakfast Club with the Catering company there. They will be doing either a Bacon or Sausage Bap served with a choice of tea of fresh ground coffee for £3.00.
It's not as cheap as what we have sold it in the past, but they have far greater overheads, and look at it this way, you get to look around one of the best Air Museums in the world whilst your at it for no charge at all!
and there are many places there where you can take some superb pictures!
I got a bit snap happy this morning as well!
Looking forward to seeing you there!!
