The BCSV (Bus and Coach Society of Victoria) aims to cater for all those who have an interest in road passenger transport in Victoria, in particular, and Australia more generally. Current Society membership includes operators, enthusiasts, bus companies and historical groups. The Society maintains photographic and other historical archives most of which have been digitised or are in the process of
being digitised. The Society holds indoor social meetings in March, May, July, September and November at the Hawthorn Tram Museum on Sunday afternoons featuring guest speakers and slide presentations. The BCSV also organises visits and tours to bus manufacturers and operators, farewell tours (for both operators and chassis) and other events for members. The Society publishes Australian Bus Panorama 7 times a year. Six editions are bi-monthly publications which include activities around the states, recent deliveries and disposals, in full colour. The seventh publication is a Special at Christmas which is usually dedicated to one or two items only. In the past, company and manufacturer histories have featured. A number of historical CDs featuring buses from the 60s, 70s and 80s have been published and are available through the BCSV. Details will be published on the BCSV Facebook wall periodically, otherwise those interested can contact Paul Kennelly, BCSV secretary at [email protected] or by calling (03) 9509 1593
