Calling all classic cars for the 40th instalment of Angela’s Picnic

The 40th Angela’s Picnic classic-car gathering takes place on Sunday April 2 at Riversands Farm Village in Knoppieslaagte, Midrand.

The annual event continues to be held in memory of the late Angela Heinz, who arranged the annual picnic in the park to give members of the SA Motor Clubs Association (SAMCA) and the public the opportunity to see a variety of very special cars in one place.

Heinz was the Morgan agent in SA for more than 25 years and ordered one of the first Plus 8s ever made. She was the first local agent for Nava helmets,

KTM motorcycles and Bilstein shock absorbers, and was the first female member of the

Motor Industries Federation.

Since Heinz’s death from cancer years ago, hundreds of thousands of rands have been raised in donations from the annual picnic and the event is a firm favourite in SA classic car circles.

The event runs from 8am3pm and is open to all classiccar owners, with a donation to Hospice Wits as the entry fee. Food and drinks will be on sale and there will be live music and family entertainment.
