I'm overseas again, and popped in the other week with the family; great facilities and good service - and cheap. I just wish the Club could resolve the issue with DHRS so that I can stay there on Duty (and get reimbursed in doing so), on what will be frequent trips back to the UK over the next while.
I have used it for hosting Foreign types; they love it. I think it's what we call 'Soft Power'.
And no, standards are not dropping. Just because I don't have to wear a 3 piece suit on a Sunday morning at Breakfast does not mean that standards are dropping. It means the Club is listening to members' concerns.
