The Leyland Society Gathering Sunday 7th July 2019
at British Commercial Vehicle Museum, Leyland
As you will be aware,
the British Commercial Vehicle Museum in Leyland has
undergone a major refurbishment in 2018 with
assistance from a Heritage Lottery Grant and we
therefore had to temporarily relocate our Gathering
to the Crich Tramway Museum. By the time you read
this issue of Torque, the Museum will have reopened
to the public once again and we have therefore
decided that for 2019 we should return to our
spiritual home of Leyland, holding our Gathering at
the Museum.
The
date for the event has been confirmed as Sunday 7th
July and we are grateful that the Museum have
included our event in their planned events for
2019. An entry form is included with this issue of
Leyland Society Torque should you wish to send your
entry in the New Year. Last year we welcomed
vehicles from all Leyland Group manufacturers (eg
AEC, Albion, BMC, Bristol, Guy, Scammell) and we
would be happy to accept any of these marques again
in 2019, although preference will be given to
Leyland manufactured or designed models. We assume
that most vehicles will travel there on the day but
for those travelling longer distances the Museum
have offered overnight parking in their courtyard
overnight on Saturday. The parking will be at the
owner’s risk but if you wish to take advantage of
this offer please complete the section on your entry
form so we can advise the Museum of your
requirement. To allow Society members to experience
the new British Commercial Vehicle Museum we have
negotiated a discount on the normal entry price to
the museum on the day and we will publish details of
how to obtain the special price in Torque nearer the
time.
We hope as many members
as possible will bring their Leylands to the event.
If you wish to enter more than one vehicle, please
copy the form or
download another copy from the Society website,
www.leylandsociety.co.uk. We realise that you are
reading this at the end of 2018 and it is early to
decide on which events you may wish to attend in
2019 but if you can return your form as soon as
possible it would be appreciated so we have an idea
of the number of vehicles to expect. If you are not
a vehicle owner but know someone who owns a Leyland
Group vehicle, then please encourage them to attend
by giving them the form included with this issue of
Torque. 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.
