about the formation of a Leyland club or society to promote and support the restoration of the products of Leyland Motors, and to include the subsequent products of the later companies.
Over the past few years this subject has been mentioned by people on many occasions, but nothing has come of it.
During the highly successful Leyland 100 celebrations in 1996, the subject was widely mentioned again.
With this in mind the Friends of the British Commercial Vehicle Museum have decided to help promote the idea of forming a club by organising a gathering of vehicles built by Leyland to possibly help inaugurate such a club.
The gathering will take place at the museum on Sunday 14 June: we hope to have a good selection of vehicles in attendance.
Application forms for vehicles wishing to attend are available from: The Events Organiser (Leyland gathering), BCVM, King Street, Leyland, Preston PR5 1LE. Please enclose a firstclass stamp with your inquiry It may be thought that an inaugural meeting should be held at an earlier date.
If anyone wishes to help with the formation of the club or has any ideas, please write to the museum; head the envelope ley Cb'. Gordon Baron, Chairman, Association of Friends of the British Commercial Vehicle Museum.
