**UPDATED 11/05/2022
Greetings all,
The first wave was ridiculously successful and I was told the window of opportunity to get involved wave too short.
My apologies, it needed to coincide with an order of gear for the playing team.
The second wave will run from NOW until Thxgiving. In the event we run out of mugs, I’ll work with the slighted humans on another item or a reduced cost.
To recap we have: 47 members of varied levels, ONLY 4 mugs remaining.
The levels are as follows:
Club member: $100 (club access, member prices for beers)
Pewter member: $125 (drink prices, includes mug club)
Kit member: $135 (drink prices, & polo)
Supporting Pillar: $150 (drink prices, mug club + polo)
Voting member tier
Wilde rover: $150/qtr (AGM voting rights, mug club, member prices + polo, supporter jersey, beanie and winter vest)
Payable via check or to the club Venmo account @monmouth-rugby. You can always email me with questions (peter@monmouthrugbyclub.com)
First come first served. Last year we hit 60 members. Dare we go for 100? All profits past operating costs go towards the rover.
** UPDATE 10/7/2022 **
As another evening closes I’d like to welcome the following folks into the 2023 Social Member Ranks of MRFC Returning: Nick Lynch, Evan Fitzgerald, Greg Cardew, John Russoniello New (to this version of the social membership): Michael Patrick Donnelly, William Dikun, and Kevin Boman Some of those in the periphery have asked: “What is this going towards?” It immediately offsets the cost of the clothes purchased as part of the membership. The remaining capital is split down the middle into the rugby operations account and a fund that I fondly call, “the note murdering account” All initiatives, outside of sponsorship and the portion of social membership noted above, will pay off the remaining balance (~$63k) of the Wilde Rover. This past social membership drive enabled us $4k in the right direction; I personally have a goal of 100 members and $7.5k this go-round. With the initiatives in place, the fundraising events, and your donations, I believe that on New Years’ Eve 2023, we will witness what many thought was not possible, a completely debt-free MRFC. The implications of that are tremendous and I believe will give rise to a new era and brand of rugby club in Monmouth and its ripple effect the tri-state area. As always, I’m keen to answer your questions, but it’s much preferred we discuss these items over a beer at the Wilde Rover. So get in on the mug club, ONLY 9 remaining
——————————————————————————
We are re-launching and re-booting our tiers of social membership for the upcoming 50th anniversary year.
