So would you guys read anything into the fact that as an interstate Gold member I didn't get a survey at all?

The only thing that I may read into it is they aren't considering making any chamges to interstate memberships

Haven’t received an email from the club in about 3 years.

I haven't seen any survey either. Not overly fussed. They'll just do what they want anyway.

Just wondered. With 90,000 members and still growing, I wondered whether the club was going to look at interstate memberships and what was being offered.

The survey i got left me with little doubt they are seriously considering making significant changes to "premium" and coterie memberships to cash in. My gut is telling me more categories with the basic extras on offer in their current membership type being pushed up to new more expensive categories

This whole thing got me thinking best to read the fine print on my IS membership this year. Usually dont bother beause i just let it roll over as it never changes.

How wrong was i? Read the list of benefits for season 2018 the other day and it appears that 2 things that have formed part of the package (actually the cornerstone of the package) are now gone but the price went up... following it up but definitely at the moment not happy at all

Crap!! I'm not surprised though
It always seems to find a way to extract more from the loyal contributors in search of more funds and bigger numbers.
Where did you read the terms? Just on the website?

Yep on the website

Just clicked on the category and it tells you what "benefits" you get.

I just noticed that our Maurice Rioli memberships no longer let us into the MRC rooms post game. Anyone know how long thats been in place.
FWIW I havnt been post game last two seasons as the kiddies now come, still pretty low to strip us of that option though

I think there are 2 bands of Maurice Rioli's, I'm an inaugural member & I still get in, i believe the latest ones dont allow post match

Ok cool thanks, our social club memberships goes back to at least 2010 when we upgraded and moved seats too. Maybe I still do
