After a two year break, the BCSV are excited to announce that our bi-monthly Sunday social meetings are finally back on Sunday 20 March at 3pm. NOTE THE VENUE CHANGE BELOW.

Geoff Foster will take a retrospective look on bus industry highlights around Victoria and Australia over the past two years. This has been a unique time when many of us haven’t been able travel far due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Both BCSV members and guests are welcome, free admission.

SPECIAL VENUE – DRIVER BUS LINES DEPOT, MT WAVERLEY
Unfortunately, we are unable to access Hawthorn Tram Museum as the Museum Committee has not yet met to approve the use of rooms for meetings.

In good news however, we have arranged for the use of Driver’s depot in Mt Waverley as an alternative and we thank Gary Driver for this.

The depot is at 45-53 Ricketts Road Mt Waverley. There is ample parking in Ricketts Road.

Attendees are asked to assemble in the car park outside the entrance to the office at about 2.50pm.

The meeting will close at about 5pm with tea and coffee afterwards, with a chance for people to catch up and share industry gossip.
