Maurice Rioli Club (Social Club)

[cub]

I am a bit confused by that email.
Do they mean social club members need to state their intention to attend and therefore will be issued a 'guest pass' otherwise entry will not be guarenteed. If this is the case, very poor form RFC.
If they have oversold and social club & 3121 memebrs are refused entry at the door there will be some very unhappy campers including myself. ???

The key sentence is:

"This will ensure that function rooms are not over crowded, so that we can gauge the number of guest passes that can be allocated."

But then you have

Social Club members will be able to RSVP and request Guest Passes in the week leading up to that game. Once you have RSVP'd or been issued with a Guest Pass, your membership card or ticket will be activated with Social Club access for that week. Your membership card will be requested upon entry into the Social Club so that it can be scanned.

not happy with the email sent.
why as a social club member do you have to email/book your intentions in advance if you want to attend the social club.??
The purpose of having a social club is to gain access to facilities.
They shouldnt have ''over sold "" there membership""
Thats what clubs are about.

You will still get in, they just want the ability to limit the number of guest passes given out.

Seems logical enough to me.

'65

reading the email is that YOU wont get in unless you RSVP

[jackstar is back again]

what if you go to a game and then he decide you might go back for an hour for a drink, as you havent RSVP in advance , you dont get in.
Bit of a mess to me reading the email.

just rang club.
all social club members will have to RSVP if you wish to attend.
Then your barcode on your membership ticket will be activated to gain entry.
If not, no entry although you have paid.

And now you will have people booking just in case and not turning up and you get the drift .........

Hell i have been a social club member from day one.
Up until last year thefre would be say 20 people at functions before the game.
The problem i see with the social club is they are letting 3121 members in.
I understand they are paying more for there membership but i feel is they want get in they should have a social club membership.

Got a newsflash for you those memnbers who are now 3121, previously Locker Room & Player Club have always had as part of their memebership access to the Social Club. So this acess has not changed

Pre-match they didn't attend the social club for home games because they have a function room at the MCG or Etihad so they went there. This is going to be the scenario again in as 3121 members have a function room pre-match at the ground with guest speakers so they wont need to go to the Social Club

After games:3121 members (make that ALL coterie members) have always had access to the Social Club and have attended. This will continue in 2011.

Obviously the Social Club membership numbers have increased significantly and I think NSC is right it is more to do with getting the number of guest passes right rather than having oversold

They have a limit on how many people they are allowed to have in the Social Club - they wouldn't have oversold it

Hope you got the name of the person you spoke to Jack as if you ring back in an hour you are likely to get a different answer if it was just the membership department

And did you ask the most obviously question about the email? And that is are they talking about "functions" or general access at every home game? There' a huge difference.

Can tell you I got an email last night re 3121 and it didn't even mention about our access rights to the Social CLub

I tihnk it's time for a deep breath and further invesitgation 

[Hellenic Tiger]

Thanks for that info WP as I am a 3121 member and was a little confused.

[jackstar is back again]

WP. spoke to the girl on the email.
Is a "' newy "' down there

[jackstar is back again]

apparently large numbers of members 'do the swap"' and get guests in .
Reason behind the RSVP apparently
