Looks like it maybe quiet this year?

Should let Gold and above free, wasn't it reward to start with?


Too many turned up for free and had to do a second one which needed to be supplemented, fair enough.

But then no one came went back to one, with dwindling numbers and still charging? Bit scumbaggy in my book......

Missed out on the free ones as I waitied for my Nephew to be old enough so we could go together 3rd one coming up, sounds better from what ive heard with less people anyway,anyone here going?

Yes it was supposed to be a reward for members but.....

Became about the Club making a $$ on it via selling guest passes

Email came out about 3-4 weeks ago

Club seems to be having a few "issues" with its CRM system

Know a few people who haven't been getting emails  :-\

It was a reward to start with a few years ago definitely, and then we quickly shot up from 40,000 members to 60,000 members. The $$ you're talking about was actually brought it to reduce the losses on it, which used to be in the six figures. We don't make a cent on the night.

But more went then than now ? And the reward is giving something back not breaking even ?

Always a great night. Get to meet and greet each player and have a jumper, poster etc signed by each one. Good food, drinks and speeches. All round well word the $30 you pay. I'd pay much more than that for what you get  :cheers

Exactly when first introduced it was to reward those who had been long time members consecutively. It was simply the club giving back. Not taking; just giving.

Now it isn't about that at all. It isn't a reward for being a member, it's just another function that Club attempts to re-coup some money rather than just giving back to people who continually hand over the hard earned.

Trust me I have a far greater understanding of the "whys and hows" it was introduced and what it's purpose originally was seeing I was on the "Members Forum" that ran with the idea of a Rewards & Recognition prgram for the members. Outside of the change itself the way the Club implemented the change a few years back was disrespectful to the membership but that is a story of another day


But more went then than now ? And the reward is giving something back not breaking even ?

Exactly CUB

Sometimes it's shouldn't be about the cost, or some fixation with trying to break even, or re-couping some of the costs sometimes the club just needs to give back like they used to when this first began
