CLUB MEMBER FORUMS
In recent weeks the AFLMA
have been approaching a number of clubs in order
to discuss issues related to
AFL Members with Club Support packages. And we
have news for
The Carlton Football Club
has issued an invitation for AFL Members with
Carlton Club Support
Membership Packages to join a focus group to address
specific issues relating to
your membership.
The purpose of the group is
to workshop issues of concern and provide
ideas and possible solutions
to problems that currently exist with the
including ticketing,
reserved seating at MCG, Colonial and Optus and other
available benefits.
It is expected that this group
will meet every 4 to 6 weeks for the
remainder of this football
season.
The Carlton Football Club
has asked that the AFL Members Association
provide 3 or 4 volunteers
for this group. Subsequently the AFLMA would
like to offer the
opportunity to any AFL Member with Carlton Club Support
package to take part in this
focus group. This is an opportunity for
ordinary members to have a
real say in the how their memberships are
structured and developed.
Any Carlton Club Support
member wanting to find out about the group should
contact
Forum and that AFL Member Steve
Corden is a member of the 20 person group.
Steve can be contacted by
email at mailto:afl@demons.com.au.
Anyone
wishing to find out more
about the Forum should check out the URL:

The AFLMA congratulates both
the
these initiatives.
MEDIA WATCH
On Saturday 8 June the
AFLMA's Media Spokesperson Michael O'Brien appeared
on the 774 ABC
Leach). Michael commented on
the proposed 24 Round Season and the effect
on AFL Members. As the AFL
membership provides entry to 30 home & away
games and we would be losing
entry to the pre-season competition, the
AFLMA believes that a 24
Round Season should not result in an increase in
the annual membership fees.
We remind you that the 'In
the Press' section of our website www.aflma.com
carries links to newspaper
articles that discuss the AFL Membership and
AFLMA related issues.

We believe that AFL Members

one team and extends to
those without specific club allegience. We are a
group of people who are
among the most passionate supporters around who
appreciate good football.
