As an aside our RAAF exchange pilot did manage to get in recently with his wife only for her to be refused entry at breakfast for wearing jeans! Thats how we host our allies is it?
Agree that is frustrating but there is a way to play the game.
You can book up to 3 months in advance and cancel at 24 hrs notice.
Jeans is unfortunate.
I must admit to be cheesed off by the number of visitors who use the RAF Club as exchange members. Compared with the price of accommodation, if any, at the overseas clubs the RAF Club is a bargain.
We had an incident in August. Booked tea for 8 at 5pm. At 4.45 I confirmed the order to be told tea was off. NO IT ISN'T I said, we booked weeks ago and Mrs PN spoke with the manager.
Tea duly arrived, piles of sarnis, cakes, fresh baked scones and all for about £5.50 a head. At least the message had been received.
