That's over a year away yet we got to get through 2013 first but I would also like to know as I couldn't make it to the event last year would be nice to hold another in memory of the brave young lad, although it would be with the families blessing I suppose, with all proceeds to the families chosen charity

I guess it would be the families decision to make how they want to remember there son,and if doing it again Is the right thing to do.I would wait for that time,but I do agree with you that it would be a nice thing to do,especially the fund raising for the charity as charities do find things hard with all the recessions we have been having to deal with.SJ.

Well it was spoken about with Scott and he said its ok for it to happen so it's all go as far as I'm aware.
Just need to find a bigger venue like airfield etc so we don't have to limit numbers like last time.

And yeah 2013 first lol

Why not contact light water valley where the NBO is held. Am sure they let Lordy use the field for fee as its a charity event.

i think it would need to be bigger than LWV, i think it's limited to about 400 cars, connors day 2012 was limited to 1000 cars!!!!

i would say elvington airfield or somewhere similar

it would be a fantastic day and raise loads for charity too

That's great the Scott has given it the green light. I and members from my local Subaru club would certainly be keen to attend

Even thought 2012 was a very sad affair it was great to be a part of and would be great to carry the memory on

It's a great idea a memorable moment for the little chap rip, I'm sure would be a good turn out and it's for charity so everyone should pull together and make it happen last year jpoc I think the clubs called had an airfield for race wars in Worcester was a big place wonderif that's big enough

Well if anyone's got any good contacts that can provide a big ground/space sort of thing that would be great.
And just looked at calendar and the 8th sept falls on a Sunday, so win win.
Preferably close to west yorks

Just to confirm what busta has already sai there are plans for connors day 2013 in memory of connor. We have provisionally spoke regarding starting to plan for this and I'm sure within the next couple of months things will move on quite quickly.

Lightwater valley field takes 500 cars packed in but there is the caravan field
Behind it which would take 300/400 extra cars its an ideal venue with all facilities laid on for you and access is excellent we have looked at other venues for the last couple of years
But no one can touch lv for price or most of all facilities which has to be important when organising an event of this size any help you need give be a shout and I will talk you though things last year I was swapping emails with toneh and busta from Australia !!

That's still only 900 cars so will have to be capped and dont want that this time as it was stressfull capping numbers, free for all this year.but will have a word with someone who's connected to bdc as they have access/contacts to a few venues.
I had a airfield sorted last year but the family wanted to keep it at chosen venue.
And thanks for the advice last year, much appreciated.

I will be up for this for sure, spent 6hours on a ferry and 8hours driving to make the round trip for Connors day 2012 and it was fantastic atmosphere

The number of cars that attended or attempted to attend was unbelievable

I think there will be more interest when there is a venue and date sorted out.

+1 on this

Once all plans are it place attendees will start to mount up, it was such a friendly, generous (I spent an hour on the gate shaking a bucket and raised over £300) and relaxed atmosphere last year I'd be surprised if it turns out a flop.
