Client of mine (Very nice lady) mentioned to me her father was an X Canberra Nav, did some 20 years from the mid 50's. She didn't think he was ever a member. She was interested in joining the Club.
Knowing the Club are looking to expand the membership , I phoned to ask what she need do.
Club: Well she can't join in her own right, but her father can join ( He must be late 70's), then after 2 years membership, he can apply for her to become a member!
I think she's now looking at the 'In and Out'. They are recruiting and you don't need be an X member of the forces! However, we are lunching at the Club soon and she is looking forward to it.
Seems a bit odd not to let in Service offspring ahead of Civil Servants.
