Associate Members
Associate membership of the Choir was implemented for the Choir's first overseas tour in 1985. A number of members of the public who had always been loyal supporters of the Choir wanted to travel through Europe and the UK with it. Here was an opportunity to thank them for their loyalty by creating another class of membership expressly for these supporters. The effect of this initiative was to further strengthen and enrich the Choir. Our Associates have been a great asset to the Choir in many ways and remain a valued part of our organisation.
Other Associate members have joined since that first overseas tour. Our subsequent overseas tours, tours interstate and even shorter trips to other towns and cities for concerts, have always been a richer experience for having our Associates join with us.
Associate members are always warmly welcomed on all occasions. A good representation of Associate members have always joined Choir members for the Annual Dinner at the beginning of each year, as they have also for celebratory occasions, most recently our 80th Anniversary formalities in 2006 and for the Testimonial Dinner to honour past Music Director Leon Paix in 2011.
New Associate members are always welcome. Simply make contact with any member of the Management Committee to get your membership underway.
