    Bulldogs Yearbook 2012

    Just got this today (funny, with all the membership issues I've had!)

    Will edit with more later.

    Ive just become a member. Does this come in the mail Andrew. Do you get the Bulldogs magazine in the mail once you become a member.

          3 magazines and then the yearbook. The mags are known, rather creatively as "First Quarter", "2nd Quarter", "3rd Quarter"

            Thanks for that Andrew. I'll look out for them. Have you got your membership pack yet or still waiting.

              Had a flick through. The yearbook is well produced, with of course, lots of references to the new (and new-ish) appointments. There's an article by Smorgo - how great has he been for our club? Garlick's page talks, obviously about the business side of things. $1.4 million off the debt (known now as the Debt Reduction Campaign). Interestingly, he refers to the coach as "the country's most qualified coach - in terms of building and developing a list to be genuinely competitive over a sustained period" (a long quote, I know, but I'd hate to be taken out of context ) McCartney's message is under 3 headings "Where we're at", "Where we want to be" and "How we're going to get there". His vision is certainly clear, and well laid out.

              There's a good article on Peter Gordon, I like his passion for the club. I'm impressed with how the reins were handed over to him as smoothly as it seems to have been done.

              A recap of the B&F awards, with a page on each of the award winnners, and an article on the 2012 debutantes, as well as the 3 retirees. There's a recap of each game - for those with a sado-masochistic edge.

              Well produced magazine. Good work Bulldogs!

                Nah, had my membership cancelled (over a missed payment), have to wait till they open for business again and get it reinstated.

                    Hopefully you sought that all out soon Andrew. I was pretty happy as I got mine before Christmas just as the club said in their email.

                      For some reason, they cancelled my membership too, but not my dads. Kinda strange since no payments etc. were missed, I actually only picked up on it about a week ago or whenever the 'last day' for reserving seat members was.

                      As it is, we've changed our seats to level two seating anyway after about 10 years in level 1 aisle 17!

                        Mine was cancelled, even with a credit card with available funds No warning, just "Thanks for your membership, would you like to renew?"... It happened a month or so ago, I have just waited to ring them.
