Lets give the volunteers some credit.
I can only speak from my experience with RBL, after 10+ years in the 'Core Team' here. None of the workers (and we have around 800!) to my knowledge are 'Club' people. They're just supporters of a good cause ...

... as are those who help/donate during the Jersey International Air Display.

But you could never, ever, fit all those people in a RAFA Club.
