WHAT IS THE BRASS MONKEY ALL ABOUT The Brass Monkey is an annual open invitation event to a breakfast organised by the MX-5 Club of NSW from 2015 and the premier roadster run out of Sydney. The event attracts up to 250 participants who possess a good sense of adventure and humour for a charity breakfast. The Brass Monkey should be on all enthusiasts’ bucket list if you love a great drive on a cold crisp frosty morning in the middle of winter at your chosen pace through the countryside to start your day.
WHY GET OUT OF BED FOR A DAWN BUSTER RUN If you have never been part of the Brass Monkey Events then don’t be discouraged by a dawn buster run over the Blue Mountains to Bathurst because you think it is too early, dark and cold. The Brass Monkey has attracted thousands of motoring enthusiasts over the years and is an adventure that is worth getting out of bed for at sparrows fart in the middle of winter. Appropriately dressed with the roof down (or windows down in a tin top) and heater on, you will participate and enjoy in a memorable fun run to raise some money for a worthy cause.
WHAT IS THE ROUTE Get to Bathurst whichever way chose for the Brass Monkey Breakfast between 8.15am and 9.30am. The Brass Monkey starts running under the stars at 6.00am down the M4 and waits for nobody. The MX-5 Club of NSW will chase the Brass Monkey along the M4 and Great Western Highway all the way to Bathurst with a club run on back roads starting from the top of Mt Panorama circuit at 10.00am to return across the mountains to Sydney. Your options to get to Bathurst for breakfast and return to the city for lunch, if that is your preference, are varied and numerous.
TICKETS A breakfast ticket costs $20.00 with all surplus funds being donated to CareFlight. To purchase a ticket send a stamped self addressed envelope with a Twenty Dollar note to Brass Monkey Breakfast, PO Box 2230 Burwood North, NSW, 2134. Your ticket will be sent back in your envelope. The Brass Monkey Breakfast is a ticket only event. The ticketing process is not sophisticated but over the years has been shown to be the easiest and most convenient way for the breakfast organiser to send out and get paid for breakfast tickets.
The event will be run whatever the weather conditions on the day with no refunds as all surplus funds will be given as a donation to CareFlight.
