a venue for corporate events, quite often attended by large numbers who have no connection with the RAF.
TTN,
These sort of things have been going on for many years and, as snagg says, they provide a good source of income. Usually they're held in rooms that would otherwise be empty, and in my experience the attendees are not at all intrusive either during or after the event.
As for poor JO Soaps. Oh c'mon - the Club's prices are excellent vfm in London, and wouldn't be all that expensive for a 'similar' establishment elsewhere. If the fees and rates are unaffordable for a lot of retired RAF officers (mmm, really?), then that's unfortunate; but as with hundreds of other entry-fee places, it's a choice, not a charity.
Pistols at 1730 in the Running Horse in December?? And who knows, my mate Foldie might even let you have a nip of his Grouse later on
