the RBL clubs suffer the same problems as the RAFA clubs - short version, they are crap.
no 35yo with half-a-dozen Afghan tours under his belt wants to spend a saturday night being talked at by some saddo who thinks that two years painting rocks at Aldershot was the best years of his 70+ life while drinking dishwater and staring at a piss-stained carpet and hoping an asteroid comes in through the ceiling.
its time to cut the link between the charitable work and the dingy clubs.
