Some nice pics of tonight to follow asap.... But unfortunately tonight was somewhat spoilt as there seems to be an element who don't care about families with small children attending the event, and don't really care about others, so it seems we will use the assistance that is always on offer from the local Police force. I've said for ages I don't want to use them, but if others are going to jeopardise this 10yr old event, then so be it, I will! The Police showed up tonight 5mins after contact was made with them, a meeting has already been arranged with the Chief Inspector of this area asap, I know for sure he will use drones, plain or uniformed officers on site, whatever it takes to help us, so if the idiots want to take on the DVC supportive Police, then I don't fancy your chances! The event is open to all types of auto's, anything of interest to the public, but no burn-outs, no exhaust popping, no driving at speed is exceptable, it's a car-park, not a race track! It's simple, behave or don't bother coming, idiots are not welcome! An update of info after the meeting with the Police will be published asap, as soon as we know, you'll know. Thank you to those attending, thank you to those who attended and behaved themselves, and I look forward to seeing those people again next month......
Now my personal bit. I started this event 10yrs ago, I've done everything connected to it on my own, year after year I've bust a gut to give an enjoyable event for you to attend, I am not prepared to see it go down the pan, I will do whatever it takes to keep the Don Valley Cruise safe, I've reached out to ASBO's who have offered to help out. (Thank you). I had a bit of an altercation tonight with a person, I had to put him straight on his bad behaviour, but in the end I thought better of it and walked away rather than lower myself to his level by getting physical with him, and get myself arrested! So as of now, next months event is happening, but keep looking in on the page for info and updates. Please share this to other interested parties, and lets keep the Don Valley Cruise the safe place to be for car enthusiasts!..... Nuff sed!
