The Provincial Society was established at a specially convened meeting in March 2003 and became registered as a charity in July 2004. There is an annual general meeting on the first Saturday of each March when elections for the officers of the committee are held. Members of the society have a chance to meet the officers and receive reports from them. In addition, there is a guest speaker who makes a presentation in the informal surroundings after the elections and reports. The current team of elected committee members can be seen by clicking on the ‘Contact Us’. We are always pleased to receive ideas and comments about the society from serious enthusiasts and those with a genuine interest in local history, so feel free to make contact.

The elected committee meets about every two months to discuss the business of the charity and organise events and plan ahead. In addition to the main committee, there are various sub committees with special responsibilities such as the Rally team who organise the annual bus rally at Stokes Bay in August, the Cougar team and the 57 Project – the latter two look after the preserved vehicles which have been donated to the society for safe-keeping. There are four trustees who oversee the running of the charity.

We produce a quarterly magazine called Provincial Press for members and regular updates in Provincial Press Extra news sheets are provided as well. This website provides information for anyone who wishes to log on and eventually there will be a dedicated section for members only who will be able to gain access by using a designated password.

The Provincial Society is fortunate in having a large and growing archive of documents, tickets, uniforms, bus stops and other fascinating treasures from the past.

By joining the society, you will receive the quarterly magazines and attend society events throughout the year. From time to time, there are special discounts for members in our online shop.
