Activities

The Heritage Group Committee organises several meetings throughout the year as well as conducting its own Committee Meetings and AGM. From Reunion style get-togethers, to attendance at major car shows, you are never far away from an interesting discussion about BMC-Leyland vehicles.

Annual Heritage Lunch

The Heritage Lunch is the Group’s flagship annual event. Enhanced by a display of vehicles, guest speakers, prizes and other activities, the event allows you to meet up with former colleagues, and for interested persons, to meet with those who were involved in the manufacture of BMC and Leyland vehicles. The lunch is held each year in September at the Ryde/Eastwood Leagues Club, Ryedale Rd, West Ryde, just across the road from the rail station. Ample free parking is also available in the multi-storey carpark next to the club. The vehicle display is held on the top floor of the carpark. For catering purposes, it is neccessary to register for this event using the form in the Newsletter which is published prior to the event.

Doncaster Reunion

This event had been running since the factory closed. It was a time for past employees to meet in an informal atmosphere. Unfortunately age and infirmity have taken their toll and the event is no longer viable. However, all ex-employees are welcome at the Reunion Lunch held each year.

Motor Show Events

The Heritage Group has a presence at the major historic motor show events in the Sydney area. Shannons Sydney Classis (Eastern Creek). All British Day (Kings School Paramatta).

Committee Meetings

The Committee meets three times a year, in addition to the Annual General Meeting.

Annual General Meeting
