The Leyland Society Gathering Sunday 8th July 2018
at Crich Tramway Village
2018 marks the 20th
anniversary of the formation of the Leyland Society
and we want to make this year’s event a special
one. Normally we alternate our Gathering between
Leyland and other locations but the BCVM is
currently undergoing a major refurbishment so
unfortunately the venue will not be available to us
in 2018. We have therefore decided to hold the 2018
Gathering at the
Crich Tramway Museum, near Matlock,
Derbyshire. DE4 5DP.
The site is a major national
attraction for transport enthusiasts and we are
honoured that the Museum has kindly agreed to host
our event again. There is an extensive tramway
network where visitors can ride on the trams through
a period setting, which includes buildings as well
as cobbled streets. The Tramway Museum also has a
workshop area where exhibits can be seen in the
course of their restoration. Food and refreshments
are available at the museum, including a pub if you
are feeling thirsty!
Our event
will be held on Sunday 8th July an entry
form is available to download
here. Most vehicles will travel there on the
day but for those travelling l
onger distances, the
Tramway Museum has kindly agreed to allow exhibitors
to park their vehicles overnight on Saturday and
Sunday nights. Note that all vehicles are parked at
the owner’s risk and no security will be provided by
the Society or the Tramway Museum. Please complete
the relevant section on your entry form so we can
inform the Museum of the number of vehicles expected
to stay overnight. The Tramway Museum has kindly
agreed to provide the driver of each vehicle entered
to the event with free entry to the Museum, valid
only on the day of our event. If you would return
your form as soon as possible it would be
appreciated so we have an idea of the number of
vehicles to expect. Please include up to date
contact details on your entry form so that we are
able to contact you in the event of any last-minute
changes. If you have an e-mail address, please
include that on your entry form. We guarantee that
e-mail addresses provided will only be used in
relation to the Gathering and not for any other
purpose.
As 2018 is
also the 50th Anniversary of the
formation of British Leyland we have decided to
widen the scope of the event by allowing entries
from all commercial vehicles manufacturers that
became part of the group, eg AEC, Albion, BMC, Guy,
Scammell. Please bring your vehicle and join our
celebrations!
