Carcodes Cosford Brunch (CCB) - Sunday 17th August
Discussion
Carcodes Cosford Brunch
Many of you will be familiar with the Midlands Breakfast Club which ran for over 5 years and became one of the most anticipated meets of the Midlands car calendar! The event often had over 300 cars turn up with marques ranging from Datsuns to Deloreans! A big thank you needs to go out to Coxy for arranging these meets and putting up with some of the cr@p associated with holding car events
The Midlands Breakfast Club is unfortunately no more but I have the personal backing of Coxy to reinvent the meet and I am pleased to announce one event (initially) for 2014! The event which follows the same format will be known as: Carcodes Cosford Brunch
Further information can be found here: Carcodes Cosford Brunch website and please feel free to have a mooch around the site as there are big savings for petrolheads!
The meet runs officially from 08:30 till 11:30, and people are allowed to park up in the main area from 08:30 onwards. The only charge is the car park fee to the RAF Museum which is £2.50.
Breakfast is available from the main cafe from 09:00 - 11:00 where they serve bacon and sausage baps, hash browns, tea and coffee and hot chocolate.
Entry to the RAF Museum is also free so an excellent excuse to get your car out for a drive and bring the family along so it keeps everyone happy.
There are a few rules which need to be pointed out, as we have been given strict instructions by RAF Cosford to provide a safe trouble free meet. If we fail to do this then future events will not happen, so please please treat the car parks and access roads like your grans care home!
If you have any questions then please email me via Pistonheads or the Carcodes website.
NEXT MEET IS SUNDAY 17th AUGUST

Glad someone didn't let this meet die. Such a wide range of cars, always enjoyed going.
Been on the website and it says that the main parking between the hangers is for clubs only? Is it not first come first serve as such like previous meets?
I always got there early so I could get a good spot

That's one thing I need to finalise but you can be assured that early birds will still get on the top hangar car park but other cars of the same marque will be ushered your way so we can try and keep the Germans from the English and the Italians from the French Been on the website and it says that the main parking between the hangers is for clubs only?

Lets make this the most enjoyable, safe but fun meet of 2014!
Thanks for taking this on, i have liked the face book page and invited my friends. I think this is a really good meet and would like to see it remain at Cosford, maybe it would be good to hand out a leaflet on entry saying "Welcome to our little meeting please drive slowly and keep the noise down and please pay £2.50 to park " That way they know the score.

Hi Chippy,Food for thought
Thanks for your comments. We will be liaising closely with Cosford to ensure the event runs as smoothly as possible and we have a flyer printed ready for the event with some friendly guidelines - good minds think alike
UPDATE 31.3.14
Everything is moving forward nicely and we are hoping that the 11th May will be a fantastic day!
There is one small change to the standard MBC format that some people may be disappointed with so thought I should make it public. Unfortunately Cosford will not give permission for us to use the top car park between the Cold War Museum and Hangars so the event will be held on the main car park(s), filling up from the lower car park, upwards.
The reasoning for this change in location is down to people speeding and generally driving erratically at previous events. The Manager has made it clear that they want CCB to be a success and they want to limit the risk to their visitors. Whilst they are not opposed to us using the top car park at future events it would be on the proviso that this years events run smoothly. The 11th May event is a trial and hopefully everyone who attends will act sensibly.
Hope this does not put people off as I need your support to move this forwards.
Thanks
Paul
