Club correspndance and relative comments.

Or one about Hay :crazy:

Sportsperson of the Year award was held in town last night. Great community event, good crowd, and a wonderful tradition that has been going for 40 years...

 

[Maroubra Eel]

actually i have a feeling he might be talking about suity's thread about club communication .... now it was suity, so maybe it was just assumed it wasn't a keeper, i dunno

It's good it got canned too. Can't have too much communication regarding the clubs communication.

 

[bartman]

Maybe if they at least PM Suity's post back to him, then he can PM the people that were interested in reading his point of view?

 

[Twizzle]

the thread has been returned and merged with this one

please refer the edited version of the first post for an explanation

 

[strider]

yay - its back! \\\\/

tbh - I reckon most emails from the club have been posted on here at some point - but hey, I might be wrong.

Good stuff

 

[bartman]

Excellent, thanks Mods. :thumn.

Good post Suity, interested to read which things have been troubling you re communications. As you know, it's been a big issue I'd like to see improved - one I (personally) ranked higher than "getting rid of Denis" in terms of the election promises.

 

[parra pete]

Good stuff

:lol: It really was good...but I love all this community based stuff, cause I am proud to be a Hay-ite.
BUT my thread has forced the Mods to put this back

 

[eels81236]

It's back!! I was beginning to think this thread was like the "Sydney panther". Does it really exist or was it just my imagination?

Me too..............and I started it!! :lol:

Suity

 

[Parra Guru]

I like that letter from Paul Osborne and I agree with Suity to make it a sticky.
I am a fan of the Eels, not a supporter (according to BAE) even though this is my 50th year - Golden Year - of being interested in the achievements, and a voting member of the Club for the past decade.
I have not renewed my membership because I don't want the "but wait there's more" crap that goes with it.
I would prefer the Club said membership fees are $70...and that gives you the right to membership, nothing more. I won't rejoin on principle. Call me a silly old goat, a stubborn bastard, but I think the extras bit is crap with a capital C...doesn't do anything to me...The Club is under selling itself

Good on ya Pete, no one (not even you) deserves to be ripped off like that.

So

The Club sent an email within a few hours to the Telegraphs announcement of Daniel's decision. So that is a tick for the club.

The problem is at the bottom of the email it has a note

"Prove your Heart and Soul is Blue and Gold like Daniel' - click here to join now!"

Yet that was sent to the members mailing list, I thought we had already all joined.

Most probably that will end up on the Eels website, but surely we don't need the ad for membership in the members emails right now.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

btw - i think manual data entry of email addresses is fraught with danger - too easy to get wrong .... we should be able to do something online .... I find it a bit disconcerting that our online login is done partly via our email which seems to be something that has traditionally been hard to get right

Still for new members who registered on-line it should be a relatively straight forward process.

You can't forward the email or the link to other non-members to get them signed up? :roll:

Sure I can, but is that the reason for the email ? Or is it to communicate to members. :roll:

 

[fish eel]

do the club emails show up as in like a mega small 6 point for anyone else or just me?

For the most part and then the bottom line is in 12 point and then the membership ad seems to be in 10 point bold.

Glad it's not just me.

I just gloss over the emails TBH.

Thanks PG...You saying that to me means a lot. Really does...;-)
I would have rejoined for $70. It is not the fee, that turned me off but just the crap they put with it.
I know I could throw it away, give it to my grandkids etc. BUT what is the REAL value of being a card carrying member? Is it $70..Is it $30, is it $50...?

When the Club gets that right I will rejoin. Let me know..Club membership $70..if you want the whistles and bells that go with it, send us another $10 or $20 or whatever....

Wtf? You said it was at the bottom of the email??? The reason for the email was the Mortimer announcement! What is the problem with having a link at the bottom?
