Yeah, good point. The 968 has been taxed and MOT'd specifically for this.

Hi Chris (& Chris)

I wasn't planning to run it again this year to be honest.

At the end of the day I was running it to raise money for my Daughters charity Shine (100% for charity ....the lot...every single penny), but I got warned off on here a few times for reasons I will never understand or accept.

In addition, a couple of folks let me down with cash donations they had promised (not you of course!)and it cost me money personally. With this in mind, I thought I could save all of the kind and generous people that helped to run the event some time and effort and just make a personal donation to the charity anyway.

The pity is that the Shine kids that came along on the day absolutely loved the event (and the lunch we provide for them) and the smiles of their little faces after a run out in the cars was something to behold; I won’t forget that in a long time.

With this in mind, then one option is maybe just to have more of an informal doo for this year, and if folks want to help out with the a donation to the Shin e charity then all well and good.

Either way, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that helped out with support and donations for the charity as it was massively appreciated, and to the moaners, knockers and jobs worth's then all I would say is.....shame on you!

I now await a another telling off, a thread closure or a ban!

Cheers. Simon

What a shame such a good event!! Some people get drunk with power when given a little responsibility behind the keyboard, pathetic and just not called for.
But on a lighter note if you want to still have a car meet same place same time then I am up for that and will donate to the shine charity. Shame your not Chris Evans he seams to have no problems when doing charity work.

What a shame :/ It was really great event from spectator view. Dewsbury/Batley area is dead if we talking aboute events etc. and now we`re going to loose the Batley Brag ? :/

Real shame about this, great meet for a great cause.

If it does go ahead again, either as an informal gathering or more, I'll certainly be there.

[Guiseley]

Shame you got grief for organising the event Simon - must take the fun out if it.

Will keep eyes peeled in case you change your mind.

It is a shame that so many obstacles are put in your way just to try raise some money for a very worthy cause

Happy to help this year if you change your mind (and then maybe use FB to publicise!!!)

Cheers

Big for all your work with it Batley Boy. Sad when good things come to an end.

Thought we might of had a better response to the disappointment of no Batlybrag this year, with the amount of cars that turned up last year it proved to be popular .. I for one will miss it ! Nothing round Dews / Batley like it.
