Paul "Molly" Meldrum coached Bacchus Marsh after he retired from AFL ranks, i think it was in the 1993 and 1994 seasons. I am not sure whether they were in the Riddell or Ballarat League (they are now in the Ballarat League). I think Kourkoumelis may have had a run with Molly at the 'Marsh'.

I joined a few weeks back as I think its a fantastic concept and should be embraced by as many Blues supporters who can afford it

We'll have to get a few more TCers come down for the SOC golf day this year too...it's in December, so not too far away...

I was talking to a good mate of my older brother who went to that, he was the 'pro' and said it was a sensational day. I dont play golf but may possibly go down there as a caddy, i can do that!!!!

What if you paid for it through ticketmaster ?

As i paid for my membership through tickemaster for the soc

As i renenwed my carlton membership as carlton advance payment online i think

will i still be recognised being a member

ozdevil,

Yes, the online option works as well.

There are several ways people can become members of the Spirit of Carlton.

- Online through the carltonfc website (ticketek).
- With the paper CFC application form highlighted above.
- Or using our own application form.

All the information comes to the Spirit of Carlton for processing.

While it is possible to be a member of the Spirit of Carlton seperately to the Carlton Football Club, we always like to encourage and promote CFC membership.

Thanks for being a member ozdevil. If you have any questions or suggestions for us would love to hear them.

Thanks budzy, that feedback is much appreciated. I'll show this quote to the SOC executive at tomorrow's meeting.

has the Spirit of Carlton been advertised in the footy record so it can get out further to reach more of the Carlton support base? It may have an effect and generate more membership possibly??

ticketek or ticketmaster?

I entered via the club website and was directed to ticketmaster, had a special account and needed a password to be emailed to me. I'm an AFL member so need to join SOC seperately....I'm assuming the account on ticketmaster picked up my details via my email address somehow as it didn't ask for details...?

Should I just print off a form and mail and stop asking stupid questions

Yes, apologies, it is ticketmaster.

Everything should have worked if it did not ask for details. If you do not hear from the SOC within a reasonable amount of time please let me know and I'll sort it all out for you ASAP.

No wonder it was a sell-out at $35 a pop - I think you could up the price a tad and it would still be worth it
