While traditionally centred around classic cars, we invite all BMW owners to come along and give BMW a good showing at the picnic.

Angela’s Picnic is a SAMCA run event. South African Marque Clubs Assn, an association of over 40 one-make car clubs has been run in Johannesburg for over 20 years.

This event is in aid of the Cancer Association and in memory of Angela Heinz who initiated and arranged the event until cancer took its toll.

Angela Heinz was a remarkable lady who’s interests included crop-sprayers, off-road motorcycles, Opera, Morgan cars, rifle shooting and Dobermans. How’s that for diverse interests?

She kept a Rolls Royce in England called Edwina for regular sorties to the Continent, studied fashion in London, Haute Cuisine in Paris and life in the world at large.

She arranged this totally laid-back, uncompetitive picnic in the park to give SAMCA members and the public the opportunity to see a variety of very special cars in one place. SAMCA (South African Marque Clubs Association) is the co-ordinating body for over 40 one -marque clubs catering for Classic cars in South Africa.

Angela died of cancer some years ago and a collection is made at the picnic every year, which is donated to the Cancer Association in her name for research.
