29th May - 6th June
Gore Country Music Festival   Hi there fellow country music followers!
Website:
www.tussockcountry.nz         Well what a great night our club night turned out to be!
Facebook:
@TussockCountryMusicFest      There was a little bit of a hiccup as we had a couple of incidents
Instagram:                    happen that forced some people to be unable to attend at the last
@tussock_country_music_fe     minute. This happens occasionally, but we are lucky to be able to
stival                        fill spots at the last minute such is the depth of our club currently!

                              What a line up we had, with some awesome performances from all!
                              We had some impromptu performances from members of the
5th June
                              Hantler family. Its great to see Matt Hantler back in Kiwi land and
NZCMA 50th Birthday Bash
                              we look forward to see what develops with his talent heading to the
Millenium Motel Rotorua
                              South Island!

                              Our last committee meeting was held away from our normal venue,
                              at the Morrinsville College Music Room. This enabled the
3rd July                      committee and interested guests to view Morrinsville College's new
Waikato Country Music         Performing Arts Centre as guests of Ryan McIntyre, whom is now
Awards                        the Head of Music at the College.

CALENDAR                      This was a real eye opener and is certainly a magnificent addition
                              to the school! It also allowed us to view it as a venue to hold an
                              event. We were unable to run an event last year due to Covid and
23rd October - 24th           financial risks, as the club would lose money if the event had to be
October                       cancelled due to a change in alert levels. We have appointed a
NZCMA Star Awards             subcommittee to design an event for sometime in the future. The
Bethlehem College             form in which it will be in, when and where is up for
Tauranga                      consideration! This subcommittee is made up of experienced past
                              organisers and some younger members so we look forward to some
                              new ideas etc.
