losing my son please help

I think we should wait for zippy to come on and see the outcome of this first so it can sink in that it's gone viral, I know everyone wants to show their respect and come along but he may want to put a limit on the cars that come as its going crazy at the mo, and I don't think the venue he has chosen will suit the event unless a different and bigger venue is chosen.
#182
Zippy so so sorry to hear your news.... someone posting a link on my car club couple of hrs ago so have open a support event to try get you some more numbers.

if anyone knows or has friends in high places and contacts and would like to put some other options up for zippy when he comes back on and make a few calls to some big event places locally then feel free. I'll try do the same but I have no experience in these kind of events so wouldn't know where to start.
I just started the list as he is a locall lad and has turned pretty busy within 6 hours and I'm sure zippy will be very shocked too.

So this is a post for the OP just so he can keep up to date with numbers
Looking at the numbers so far
31 people on the list in this thread (one commented that they would potentially be bringing 10 other) so round it up to 50 to give wiggle room
The facebook page started by WestYorkshireCruise on your sons behalf - https://www.facebook.com/events/264371197015506/ has at current count 113people marked as attending so round that up to 120 and so far that is a potential of 170cars so far
Now in order to avoid it going crazy i can see a few options
Lock down the number of people coming but that would be difficult due to it going viral
or
Find a new location, Due to the number of cars it may require speaking to councils to see about using multi-storys, town car parks, greenland (IE the playing field on the way from Dewsbury to Wakefield where they just built the new changing rooms) or businesses
With this number of cars it may be worth contacting the police to advise what is happening/get some of the high pursuit cars to come down keeping people on best behaviour and to let your son poke about in
If i can help in any way let me know
Edit:
Right i have had a thought about some locations that may be possible if they are any help to you
Dewsbury Town centre car park - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=dew...d+Kingdom&z=18 Looks to be very large but may require permission from the council/police to be made aware, also would require some signs in Dewsbury Town to be put up showing people where to go
Galpharm stadium car park - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=The...dersfield&z=17 - would need permission from Galpham stadium/mabey police made aware - easily signposted
Field across from Heath cottage on Wakefield road - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Wak...d+Kingdom&z=17 - would probably need council permission and police to be made aware but easy to get to
I tried to keep them local to the area incase you cant travel very far, im not trying to tread on toes or anything but im assuming you have more on your mind at the moment

This is devastating news I've just read on my feed that literally brought me to tears. This is literally everywhere now, Unfortunately my car is off the road, I'm hoping some of the MK2s can come along and show our support for your little boy, I know some have already clicked on your Facebook link and thanks to those that have.
Also been linked to the MK2 Seat Ibiza Owners Club.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/350033151703517/
I've linked them the Facebook meet page you have set up.
This little boys turnout is going to be the biggest ever and he deserves every bit of it.
Respect to everybody that can make this as special as possible for him.
My loves goes out to you and your family zippy!

Zippy, all - greetings from Audi-Sport.net
Apologies if this post comes across in any way clumsy or disjointed - that's of course the last thing I intend.
I thought it might be useful to make you aware that one of our members (JMerrie) has just brought this meeting to our attention. As I've said on the thread 'over there' - I couldn't hope to find words suitable enough to address your situation, so I'll simply say that I'm here to offer my (/our) unreserved and sincere support.
Of course we don't want to complicate things or cause organisational headaches, so if the situation is such that there isn't capacity for any potential attendees we may have, or you'd rather we keep clear for any other reason at all - please don't hesitate to say.
If it is acceptable/practicable for some of our guys to join your number and show support, I expect I'm far from alone in being keen to. To that end, I've added some guidelines to the thread requesting our members form an organised list which we can communicate to you/you can keep tabs on. Likewise, if having a direct contact at ASN to liaise with would be helpful - please drop me a PM and I'll return some details.
If there's anything else at all we can (or can't) do, please don't hesitate to ask.
Sincerest regards,
Rob

PS> I'm conscious that linking other forums isn't really good etiquette - my apologies for doing so - but I figured it's unlikely that we're going to poach each-other's members, and again, that a heads-up might be useful. Please amend accordingly as you see fit.

Zippy, nothing I can say would remotely sum up how gutted I feel after your original post. Its such horrible and tragic news. I will be unable to attend as the mrs turn's 30 on the 8th.

Just had a thought about locations.
Obviously it's up to the OP what he wants to do if he wants to restrict numbers or move the venue but the following would be suitable:-
Junction 27 M62 retail park. Two big car parks, one is a multistorey owned by ikea and the other is run by a management company, they may open for access as a one off?
Or
Meadowhall car park, off M1. I know there are organised car meets there on a Monday night once or twice a month.
Just a couple of ideas.

That is awful news. Sorry for your news Zippy. My thoughts go to you, your misses and family.
I would hate to be in your place . Having a couple of kids myself I cannot think of what you are going through.
Depending on work I could make this?
Regards
Steve
