On July 30 a social get together and dinner will be held at the Hotel Leeton for the players of that team, as well as the committee from that time.
The following day the celebrations will move on to Leeton Showground where the Crows will be taking on Turvey Park.
The 1971 premiership was the club's first since 1958 and the team was coached by Doug Campbell.
"From memory we did win pretty easily, but we were behind and did come back to win," organiser and then assistance coach Peter Slattery said.
"You never forget winning a premiership no matter how many years go by.
"This will be a good chance for everyone to get together and catch up."
Most of the players and committee from that time have been contacted but the the organising committee is yet to track down several people, including John Gamble, Paul Carrol, John Hawkins, Merv Reynolds, S "Ziggy" Nielson and John Wells.
Anyone who knows of these men or who would like to be part of the celebrations should contact Slattery on 0418 443 381 or Tom Thompson on 0419 726 048.
