C.O.C. News

Hello All,

​

Just so you know, the COC stand at the Stafford Show over the weekend of October 9/10/11th is full and ready to rock! It's up on the balcony in the main hall but don't look for the usual beautiful Soviet Era, workers' co-operative tapestry. The stand is a triumph over adversity, a monument to expediency and most impressively, still there this year. Take a bow Andrew!

Are we going to hold our 2027 AGM Rally in the North East, around Pickering? We've not been there yet and the campsites we've looked at so far look enticing. Fancy it?

Finally, from our man in London................

🔴 RED OKTOBER DAY – ACE CAFE 🔴

It’s Red Oktober Day at the Ace Café the week after next — Sunday 18th October 2026.

Lots of you came along last year, when we had a fantastic turnout with plenty of outfits and bikes, and met some great new people. It would be brilliant to see another good turnout this year, so I hope all you Soviet Bike Pilots and Cossack Owners Club members in the South can make it!

📍 Ace Cafe London
Ace Corner, North Circular Road
Stonebridge, London
NW10 7UD

📅 Sunday 18th October 2026
⏰ From 10.30am

​

Red Oktober Day is an Eastern Bloc vehicle meet, held in collaboration with the IFA Club. It’s an all-day event, so expect a great variety of old Soviet and Eastern Bloc motorcycles and vehicles coming and going throughout the day.

Bring your Ural, Dnepr, Cossack, IZH, Jawa, MZ, CZ or whatever Eastern Bloc machinery you have — outfit or solo!

Hope to see lots of you there. Come and say hello! 🏍️☕🔴​​​
