Received an email invite late yesterday for this year's Members Cocktail Party at Crown
I deleted the thing straight away because I don't intend going ;D
But for memory:
Date: 28th May (might the 29th ;D but it's definitely late May)
Cost: $35 for Y&B, Platinum, Gold & Silver members
$100 for Guests
If anyone still has the email feel free to correct anything I've got wrong

Any goss?
Didn't go but know a few who did.
Will be speaking to them later this morning
A mate said on twitter last night there were about 1200 people there. Nice little earner for the RFC seeing they now charge folks to go ::)

fantastic night
Seen a few OER there :thumbsup
Must say the $35 is the best $35 ever spent
hangover suggests that it is value for money :cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers
Food fantastic .
Players extremely approachable
Good fun had by all who attended.
Well done RFC :thumbsup

did you ask them how it feels not to make finals again?

It's only $35 for eligible members Jack
$100 for guest passes or as I tend to say $100 for the ring-ins who shouldn't be there
Actually don't believe they should sell guest passes.
Night should only be for those members eligble (Y&B, Platinum, Gold & Silver). It is after all supposed to reward folks for consecutive years of membership (that's why it was introduced) not be another revenue raised for the Club
(And yes I have told them this)

Are you allowed to be talking about this gathering?

Would you agree with guests filling up the hole of the members that don't go?

No.
And before you ask why?
It is because there have members who have been eligble to attend in the past that have missed out on getting in because the club has sold guest passes to people who aren't eligble and they've filled the room.

I'm a Gold member and I didn't go but I'll decide who and when my hole gets filled up thanks!

Fantastic night! Got a large team photo for $10 which I thought was a bit steep at the time but after I got it signed by almost every single player on our list I was pretty happy. With be framing it now :thumbsup
Food was great, drinks plentiful and players very approachable. 'Mr :shh' was the only negative but even he was a bit of a laugh trying to quiet the crowd each time someone spoke.
The players were very tight-lipped as you would expect. Most made small talk but Dusty struggled to even make eye contact with anyone. Vlaustin, Maric, McBean, Newman and King were all the most approachable and genuine. :thumbsup
Some great scenery around too :P

You're missing my point. Those people should get first crack but if they don't want to go shouldn't some guests be allowed to fill the gap?

Did you get a chat in with Foley or Tuck? Were very approachable for me*
*At different times I didn't go to this function

Had a girl friend attend last night and said that Robin Nahas is an arrogant "you know what" and spoke down to people. She suggested he should go and learn some manners.
She also mentioned that Rance was really nice and very funny.
Vlastuin was nice to speak to too.
:gotigers
She really wasn't happy with Robin Nahas and she is married with a young 9 year old boy.

Knowing those that went wp, im tipping they got at least their $35 worth, we probably made a bleedin loss :lol

Good to see everyone at the club knows you as a tonsil too ;D

Now that's a great question.
:clapping

I spoke to Axel, very friendly genuine bloke.
Funny I saw Roby Nahas go out of his way to have a photo with fans a few times -
It was a great night with quality food , drinks on request and the players all good in my book.
I heard Dusty missed training with the Flu - to turn up to a function when your sick shows commitment - Thanks Dusty
End up buying Griffs jumper $100
Good night - Great value

You're missing my point. Those people should get first crack but if they don't want to go shouldn't some guests be allowed to fill the gap?
But that's the problem the eligible members don't get first crack and if there are spaces left then they sell guest passes.
They send the invites out and start selling guest passes straight away. So unless that changes and IMO it won't because they want the revenue then no my stance remains they shouldn't be selling guest passes.

But that's my question. Would you be opposed to guest passes if it was just filling the holes

:banghead :banghead :banghead
I've answered it twice now
Will repeat for you one more time
I am against them selling guest passes.
And yes I would be opposed to them selling them if it was just to fill holes. It is promoted as an eligble members only function under the Clubs own Rewards and Recognition program, that's why it was intrdouced so that is how it should be run
Is that clear enough for you?
-
by memory they had 800 attend last year and approx 1200 on Tuesday Night
Plenty of room, hardly a sell out.
No waiting for food or drink
everything readily available
queues to players were 2-5 mins
All good

Numbers have dropped Jack because they now charge those (eligble members) who used to get in for free $35 a head

I don't give a flying stuff what you think of it right now as you've made it clear. I was asking if they were to fill the holes which you've finally answered :banghead :banghead
