Membership
The Melbourne Cricket Club is the largest sporting club in Australia. As of August 2010 there were 101,509 members of the club, of which 61,180 were "full members" and 40,329 were "restricted members", with 205,732 people registered on the waiting list. The waiting list for Restricted membership consists of people nominated after 31 May 1995.
Full membership entitles members to entry to the Members' Reserve at the MCG for all cricket and football matches and most special sporting events.
Full members also have a number of added benefits, which include reciprocal rights at clubs and stadiums around Australia and overseas as well as the opportunity to attend numerous club functions exclusive to MCC members. Restricted members also have access to events, with the exception of the AFL Grand Final. Full members, but not restricted members, are also permitted to nominate candidates for the waiting list and to vote on club affairs.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
