Not sure about the actual family day, there’s usually 1 big open day around now and another one around Australia Day, the venue (show grounds) is a first too.
I reckon they must be expecting a truckload of people this year, should be a great day.

I hit the 25 season tally last year: 1992-2017. Minus 2000, of course.

Hang on a second, does that one game membership include away games? Because I always pay for a couple of away Marvel games (eg Saints/North/Bulldogs).
It’s a two game membership innit? Can be used for away games. I plan to get home membership plus the two gamer for a couple of away games at the MCG.
How much did they save sending the 2018 membership cards out by turtles?

Who taught us that fact?
“The average turtle swims at a pace of 10 to 12 mph and walks at 3 to 4 mph."
The average Essendon 2018 membership card travelled at an average of 0.187 miles per day in the wrong direction for a month.

just an FYI
Since I got MCC membership I now take up the MCC dual membership option to remain an Essendon member.
It’s different for the different clubs. And the differences can be big in terms of $$ and what you get for that $$. The Essendon deal is, I think, excellent. For $105 I get a flexi game membership which provides general admission to our 7 home games at Marvel. I’ve listed what the other clubs who have Marvel as their home ground offer. You can check out all Melbourne clubs with this link.
@Catherine_Lio – not sure how this arrangement is worked out between club and MCC but it’s excellent.

Wow, … , that can’t be right, can it? 
I remember some dude on a Doco saying that “If you can walk 4 km’s In an Hour, … you’re as fit as you need to be”, … and that’s KM’s, … which are .6 of a mile.
It’s hard to believe a Turtle can walk 1 1/2 times that at 6.6 knph.
Edit: Unless of course it is a Teenage Mutant Ninja one, …

I know people who can’t do that.
Turtles are o.k. in my book. at the end of the day, they always seem to get the job done. Pure example of mindfulness.
Average human walking speed is 5kph
At the current rate of people signing up we’ll be at around 52k by Christmas.
Here’s hoping!

Only with the right catapult. They are very aerodynamic.
Got my pack yesterday. The scarf is passable. 4yo took the only sticker I wanted and absconded with my pin. 5.5/10
