Great stuff mate! I made it on as well. Really looking forward to providing plenty of input to the group and given we have a large pool of members within this forum as @The Wheel mentioned, any feedback that we can convey at the first meeting will be hugely valuable.

Congrats @The Wheel and @Mitch - couple of heavy hitters here on Silvertails, who would have thunk it
Hopefully you'll get some good feedback, at least this is a step in the right direction. God knows there are some bridges to mend there.

Excellent Mitch looking forward to meeting you at the meeting
Absolutely a good initial step when looking to bridge the gap between club and fan base, mate. I’ll be sure to provide some detailed updates following the first sitting.

You only have to start worrying when the free bacon sammmwhiches go missing and ZTH isn't in the county to blame for the thus missing bacon sammmwhiches 🙂 🙂 🙂

IF YOU DO NOT TRY YOU CAN NOT FAIL
In fact paying members subsidise non members like tax payers subsidise dole recipients.
I expect you'll be signing up for the tipping comp or premium membership very shortly then 😉
Great to know you will be representing us @The Wheel and @Mitch.
This is lifted from the thread I started on Feb 15 : https://silvertails.net/threads/mwse-membership.53856/
Membership: As of this moment in time we are third last with 10,526. We are ahead of the Warriors and Titans and over 1,000 behind the Tigers. Sure we have had bad publicity and I have had Manly supporters raise that issue but I'm not sure that is their reason for not joining up.
Here is a link to membership numbers: http://leagueunlimited.com/news/31031-2018-nrl-club-membership-tracker/
I did my own little survey of those I knew living across NSW country that were Manly supporters. I could count 18 supporters with only one being a member.
Most are proud to talk about our club and it's previous and current players and success. But it is hard to encourage any of these to join up because they probably won't be going to a game this year, and the lowest membership price is what you can get the current polo for on eBay - $82.00.
I initially pondered suggesting in this post a lower entry point price for members depending on postcode (i.e. distance from Brookvale). Maybe just give them a car sticker, membership keyring, lanyard and card, emails etc, and discounted gear and tickets (because we do want to at least encourage more people through the gates as well) for say $39.95.
But then I noticed that some other clubs have general $40, $50 memberships.
Here is a $30 "Shark Starter" new members package (don't forget to also click on the Additional Member benefits). Link:
http://membership.sharks.com.au/package/supporterpackages/#sharksstarter
They have a $50 package for pre-existing members.
I don't want to do the club out of money and I am happy to continue on my current package, but if these packages were available I'm sure I could get at least a couple signed up and they can be upgraded later should their interest grow. And many have kids.
When the dust settles on the salary cap rubbish, we will have a young and, if all goes well with our 5 year plan (refer @Mark from Brisbane), a highly successful team with popular players. I think we need to have membership bubbling along on the ride up, not wait until after the next winning GF.

Maybe he should put his money where is month is cough up the coin in donating a couple of million $$$$ to the club to do as they like.
Me thinks given that @American Eagle is a 15 post hero he rather be the big man in his own fantasy world and slag off of a very decent member of the silvertails family @niccipops.
Well @American Eagle what do you know what people's commitments are and what they can or can't afford to do. Who are you to judge anyone by. Hold your head in shame

@niccipops congratulations, when did you have the sex change from she to he
"niccipops wasn't saying he couldn't afford membership"
Learn more?
If you learned more you wouldn't feel the need to insult someone for having an idea.
Thanks OEE.Maybe he should put his money where is month is cough up the coin in donating a couple of million $$$$ to the club to do as they like.

Agree.
I’m a GA member but took the kids last Sat night.
Stupidly bought their tickets online ( thinking that we would get a better crowd than the piss poor effort that we got) and paid the exorbitant handling fee from Ripoffmaster.
Why not make it cheaper at the gate for kids or free even.

I went to bed last night (der) thinking "Oh, I should comment that the wheel should be known as the big wheel from now on!"
Good to see such comic genius flows through many silvertails veins.
-carry on
