[kool kangas]

If you dont want to have a Family day North Melbourne then dont have one...Wednesday 20th April at 12 noon. People work so how are parents suppose to get their kids there..Enough said.

Was this in the email I didn’t get?

Unless both myself and my wife missed earlier communication, or that communication was buried in the plethora of crap, we’ve only been given 5 days notice of it being a thing?

So school holiday plans are already set and this could never have been part of them.

the only thing I've heard about it was at the good friday game in a random announcement.

Received an email from the club this morning......

Yes

My daughter received an SMS saying that with the game at Blundstone this week this was the only time available...or words to that effect...why cant it be on the bye weekend? l know that players have that weekend off but surely they could relax at the family day with the supporters and the members who they are representing...

Pretty poor this year. Last minute notification, middle of the day Wednesday. Will be a very poor turnout.

l would be very interested in finding out how many are going and what the attendance was like on the day...l received the email on Friday andl dont go back to work until next Wednesday, how can l give my employer notice that l want the day off and l have only been there 6 weeks...It is very poor by the club..After 2 years of covid, letting the club keep my membership payments, not going to games nor getting the other lurks that are attributed to my membership surely this Family Day could have been organised this better...Events like this are suppose to attract more members not lose them..

 

[The Nostradamus]

I’ll report back

Might give some direct feedback to a few

Less than one weeks notice just isn't good enough. Was it at least on the website earlier?

 

[ferball]

Sure tZ.

 

[Mr north man]

Would like to go but when you need to run your own business Monday to Friday sometimes weekends depending what day North is playing but hard to drop everything to attend a family day.
Here’s an idea how about the club hold a day on either Saturday or Sunday after Round 22 and if the VFL side is playing finals at Arden Street a massive Family day with things for the kids players ,coaches and administrators of the club in attendance BBQ food and drink outlets selling of merchandise and have a Q and A session to ask questions on what’s going on.
But I know this won’t happen as the board might be worried some home truths might be told.

Not that l could find.....

Would normally take the grandkids but given the short notice we can’t as we are travelling in NSW

Probably a deliberate ploy. Gives the club an excuse to can these type of events in the future…lack of interest, no suitable dates, covid, players unavailable etc etc. They also cost money to put on after all. Members are simply there to squeeze every dollar from them nowdays and not to engage with and look after.

You better corner nobles/Rawling/luffs about game plan and list management

 

[wolvesRoos]

Wow I dont go to these things but short notice and midweek is crazy. You have to turn up to work on Tuesday and ask your boss for the next day off work

 

[The Nostradamus]

planning on it

 

[Lomas]

They obviously don’t want to lock in the next generation, the treatment of junior members has been getting worse for years.

 

[shinboner magic]

If they wanted ppl there -they should of done it today.

Family days when I was younger were the best.

+ doing boomers master classes if anyone remembers it.

There was so much interaction with their younger fans and that’s why I was in love with them.

I get it with Covid but I just feel like it’s dropped off considerably. I feel bad for the kids.

So true...It feels like the people organising functions like this only look at the $$$ signs and not the happiness that it brings to the supporters and children..The term "family club" seems to have gotten lost over the years due to that fact that those who set up these events are to young or were not North supporters to remember what these events use to be like and how much enjoyment and anticipation everyone had looking forward to them.

The family day in 2019 was okay, even tho it was at Scienceworks not Arden St.
