In Memoriam.
John Bishop Hon. Vice-President

It is with the greatest regret that the Leyland Society announces the death of Mr John D. Bishop of Bentley, near Crewe. After a long illness bravely borne.

Our thoughts remain with Evelyn his widow and the remainder of the family at this sad time.

The Leyland Society Committee, 22nd July 2010

Leyland Society Meeting.

At the recent Extraordinary General Meeting, it was unanimously decided that the Society would apply to the Charities Commision for Charitable Status.

The Committee would like to thank all those Members who attended the meeting and contributed to a lively and positive discussion, which left us in no doubt that we were doing the right thing.

Thanks also to Mike and Pat Sutcliffe for their hospitality and the ride in one of their buses, The White Rose.

Leyland Torque, The Society's Quarterly Magazine.

A number of members have not received the Autumn issue Leyland Torque No. 45.
We think that as they were posted during the random and later, all out, postal strike, some went astray and were not delivered.
So, would any members who have not yet received their copy of this issue contact David Bishop, and a copy will be posted to you.
Torque 46, the winter issue, was posted a little late, but should arrive within the next few days.

Notice from Webmaster

I see from the statistics held on the Society site that 28% of those visiting the site are using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6. Unfortunately this web browser has a bug which prevents it from displaying some parts of this website correctly (e.g. on the index page, the picture at the top of the page is shown with a black background.)
Provided your computer is not too old, there is a free upgrade on Microsoft's pages to MSIE 7 which displays properly. Alternatively, there is another browser "Firefox" which also works properly. This is also free to download and works very well. A search for "Firefox download" in Google points the way.

Indices for Society Magazines

The Society has just compiled a complete list of contents of both our Leyland Torque and Journal magazines. We hope that people will find these lists useful for obtaining information on particular Leyland aspects.

To access these lists, go to the Torque and/or Journal pages of the Website and click on the appropriate heading.

Our thanks to John Howie for these lists.
