48 - clubmembership - updated
So I applied for membership of the RAF club, to have a safe and affordable stay in London.
It would enable me to stay a bit longer next year, if there is place for me, and in between I could go with my daughters or even alone, as at the club there is always someone to talk with and a subject to talk about.
Been at a club in Kendall when it was still a men's club (I got permission for a few hours because I was underage and foreign..) and I loved the feel of it, and recently in London and it felt like home.
I got a mail back with the requirements.
I'd send my dad's number, but it turned out not to be enough.
