What do you think? Does Melbourne have a social club? There could be more family days. What about some kind of desperate and dateless ball (with a different name!). Instead of just expensive, fund raising dinners (which are important) there should also be fun days (obviously they would have to at least break even-club money is scarce!). Aside from being fun it might also lead to more memberships (whether it should be just for members I don't know-maybe members get in cheaper). When Melbourne people talk about the fun they had other people might want to be part of Melbourne because it stands (aside from it's proud history and MCC links) for fun and enjoyment. Hawthorn's known as 'the family club'. Melbourne could be the 'fun' club (for want of a better term). To attract supporters Melbourne can't just be a conservative club but a club which is one to be a part of.

We can do it ourselves

Desperate and dateless ball..? we have enough trouble getting fans to games .....we could invite the tigers fans they will help fill up the numbers.
