- Anzac Day Service Cust

Date Posted: Tue, 20 Apr 2021
We're excited about the opportunity to support the Cust Community to celebrate Anzac Day on Sunday 25 April 2021 at 10am. It's especially poignant this year as last year's service was cancelled due to Covid19. . This past year has given us a small glimpse of the challenges faced by a country at war and a greater appreciation of the power of collective action, sacrifice and support for each other. The songs we will sing reflect that theme.

- FINAL PRACTICE 2019, AFTERGLOW & SIGNIFICANT BIRTHDAYS!
-
Date Posted: Tue, 17 Dec 2019
QUESTION. WHAT DOES THE PLAINSMEN CHORUS DO AFTER A LONG AND SUCCESSFUL YEAR OF SINGING?
ANSWER. MORE SINGING?
Nowhere is our love of singing and the comradeship of our choral brothers more obvious than at our "Afterglow". Last night after our final (very relaxed) practice we headed off to the nearest watering hole for drinks, refreshments and more acapella singing. And we had the opportunity to acknowledge that 4 of our members had their 80th birthdays this year (Terry Maunsell, Terry Popplewell and Bryan Taylor and Bill Hotter).
Some wit pointed out that our very successful quartet (Promenade) collectively were not 80 years old - an indication of the vast age range of our members.
We wish all of our families, friends and supporters a Happy, Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.Attachment: 
- SECOND EQUAL AND MOST IMPROVED CHORUS!

Date Posted: Mon, 16 Sep 2019
We are so pleased with our Chorus Results at the weekend. We were second in the Chorus competition and perhaps more importantly the "Most Improved Chorus". This is a credit to all members who worked so hard, our Musical Director Gavin Hurley for his talent and inspiration and to our families, friends and supporters. For those of you who are past members or considering joining us now is a good time as we reset our goals and repertoire. Attachment:
