I spoke to the club a short while ago, in relation to the membership packages and free entry into the family day this weekend.

Packages are apparently still 2 weeks or so away from being ready, so they will not be available for collection this weekend.

Members however will be on some sort of list at the gate to gain free entry.

Hope this helps anyone.

Mine came in the post today

Rubbish.

Mine arrived yesterday - that's the earliest I have received it in the NT.

got mine yesterday too Linchpin!

I was amazed - I think it is the first time I've ever received it before the NAB Cup starts. Great looking package too in the recycled packaging. My only 'criticism' is I used to love the fridge magnet with the Carlton draw on it, and this year they didn't include those. But overall, it is a great looking piece of packaging, and seems to be very thorough.

what do you get???

you get :
1-recycled package/box with logo looks pretty good
2-lanyard for membership card
3-card to get cfc members rate if hiring a car from europe car
3-voucher for hat/scarf and voucher for recycled cfc bag
4-vouchers from carlton shop ($15 of guernsey etc)
and membership card - obviously

weird thing is i got mine on wednesday but still not my wife's or son's - paid on the same day and same address????

I got mine on the last couple of days.

A couple of things though:

1) It was delivered to the wrong address. I updated my address with the membership dept last year.
2) I've had no confirmation that MrsKK's membership, and my 2 nieces, whose memberships I pay for also, have been renewed. I did have a conversation with a very helpful membership person some time ago, who assured me things would be fine, but nothing's been received here so far.
3) The lanyard clip has already broken. Last year's one broke too.

That's a bit disappointing.

Package looks great this year, though, and much more professional than in previous years.

Yep I got mine the other day, thought it looked great. Well done to the club. I must be one of the lucky ones, I've never hed to wait too long to get the pack sent out.

I ALSO won the heads vs tails section of the local pub's trivia night this week so my luck is in!!

No one from our house got theirs yet

The Lanyard is the biggest piece of rubbish in the pack. A bit of American wankernism! I am going on the record to say, I HATE THE LANYARD!

You'd be in the minority in my household linch as the lanyard comes in handy at the games as you can just flash the bloody thing and still keep your hands free with kids and food and bags etc.

I just find them really rubbishy....

My kids love them however.

No doubt stickers would be included in the package again?

Silver members like myself Got the worst return for money Last year... Never again i will pay for a Silver membership.....


on top of it, they want us to pay a $25 Levy to pay off their Debuts....


The best budjet membership would have to be the Good old Social Club.....

Apparently, we reserved seat holders will have to wait a few more weeks for ours to arrive .

MrsKK's came today. With her maiden name on the package.

I'll check on the nieces later this week.

bit hard to pick up your scarf or cap if you live interstate...

Last year, I was "in the neighbourhood" to pick it up, but I have been told I can send the coupons to the Club, and they will mail out the cap/scarf - one of each for me and the Mrs.

She was thrilled to get her "2 year" pin.

It's my 15th year, I guess there's nothing between 10 and 20?

There's nothing between 30 and 50!!

I have my 30yr badge, and season 41 coming up. Still 9 more years to wait!
