Rallies 2026

The Club now has a programme of Rallies and Events for 2025, including the Stafford Bike Shows extending from April to October; we will publish these dates when we get details.

Every event will give our members and other fellow Motorcycle enthusiasts an opportunity to:

Meet up with friends old and new;
Chat about problems with your bike (and if your beloved machine runs like a Soviet sewing machine you can do a little gloating);
Buy or swap spares if any are taken and
Just have fun!

We are doing our best to again make 2026 another year when we all get together and have fun!

See you there, COC Committee

Photographs Available

Please Note: Check with the organisers for terms and condition before setting out! If any readers know of a camp or rally or show or run that is not listed here, please do let the editors know.

This list will be revised when more information is available.

International Classic Motorcycle Show

25–26 April 2026 Staffordshire Showground, ST18 0BD

Contact: Comrade Carl 01253720327 NB, Carl lives a peaceful life largely without the internet anxiety the rest of us suffer. He's not contactable by email. Leave a message on his answerphone if you want to display your bike on the COC stand. This is worth doing because, yes, there is a highly polished motorcycle show, auto jumble, exotic auction and trade stands as well, but Stafford is very much a COC social event too.

COC Spring Dent

8–10 May 2026 Conder Farm, Dent, Cumbria, LA10 5QT There is no official organiser for this, the weekend runs on the formula of the weekend after the early May bank holiday, so those who know go then. It's very much a COC institution, begun a hundred years ago by Trevor College, who's long gone now, bless him. Anyone interested in the Dent weekend should ask questions in reply to this email, paulcodling@mail.com

COC Three Magpies 50th Anniversary

29th, 30th, and 31st May 2026 Bath Rd, Seend, Melksham SN12 6RN This year, The Three Magpies Rally is a special anniversary weekend, because we've been camping here for 50 years! Provisionally, it might include a run-out, a come-and-fix-it workshop, service parts availability, a commemorative badge, and a celebration meal on Saturday evening. For now, it's important to fix the date. There'll be more details later.

JAWA-CZ Owners Club National Rally and AGM 2026,

5th - 7th June 2026. Greetham Community Centre, Great Lane, Greetham, Nr. Oakham. LE15 7NG The rally organiser is John Blackburn, chairmanjawaczoc@gmail.com Once again a free rally, i.e. free camping (including motorhomes and caravans), free rally badge, free evening meal on Saturday. Bar on site, breakfasts available (not free). Saturday is the main day; please make an effort to attend the AGM. More details to follow.

Maybe, we'll have an invitation-only camping weekend in June, in South Norfolk, focused on The Locks Inn, Geldeston, accessible by dirt track across the swamp if it hasn't rained much, otherwise it's a ferry trip up the river from Beccles. Geldeston Locks is the extreme Southern limit of The Broads. Keep in touch with paulcodling@mail.com

Red Star Rally, or East European if you like, and COC AGM,

30th July – 2nd August 2026, Talybont Farm Campsite, Talybont on Usk, Brecon LD37YJ. This is a joint rally hosted every two years, now more frequent than the previous every four years, this year by the MZ Riders Club, with the Jawa/CZ Club and the Cossack Club. It usually draws a brilliant turnout, and in the past, over 200 people have attended. The campsite is brilliant, with lots of flat grass, excellent toilets and showers, and a couple of real-ale and food pubs less than 10 minutes' walk away. It really is a beautiful part of the country.

Norfolk ’n’ Good COC Weekend

4th - 6th September. The Venue is to be confirmed, but only provisionally for the moment, we're returning to the campsite in Loddon, Loddon Marina Campsite, Bridge Street, Loddon, South Norfolk, NR14 6EZ. The site is under new management and has been significantly tidied up. It's quite pleasant now. Loddon is a spectacular location with some equally spectacular Saturday ride-out opportunities. With luck, this will be another agricultural show/classic vehicle weekend, and punters who get there early might get a Friday evening ride out to Geldeston Locks Inn.
