48 - clubmembership - updated

November 04, 2019 Syl 0 Comments



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.

Needed:

  1. - Completed application form, apply online.
  2. - Copy of documentary proof of your parents military service  (copy of their service record, pension letters, mentioned in Government Gazette or mentions in despatches – their details need to be highlighted on the page) 
  3. - Copy of your full birth certificate
  4. - Copy of any change of name document where applicable –e.g. marriage certificate
  5. - Copy of proof of Address
  6. - A passport size photograph
  7. - Membership payment: £40 for Single Family Member. A joining fee of £10 per member will apply

Some things are not a problem at all.
But: 2
  • ..Service record. Requested, but Covid caused a waitinglist from, now, almost a year, someone told me.
  • ..He never got a pension and I sure didn't get the papers. He died 30 years ago!!
  • ..He served during the war.  He doesn't pop up in the Government Gazette. Don't know of any despatches.
  • ..my birth certificate. 14 euros
  • ..proof of Address 
  1. -- Valid Driver's License. Don't have one
  2. --  Property Tax Receipt.   Don't get one.
  3. -- Posted Mail with name of applicant. Hmmm... who want to send me a card?
  4. -- Utility Bill.                    Not on my name.
  5. -- Lease Agreement.         None
  6. -- Insurance Card.             Has no address, only a number
  7. -- Voter Registration Card.  Haha, you need to hand it in when voting
  8. -- College Enrollment Papers.  Huh? I'm 63!!!

So there are still hurdles to take....
