So I was a member of the public who attended your ANZAC Service yesterday and have been a supporter of noble park RSL from my time in the local Scout and Guide movements, and while the service was unfaultable, the attitude of some of your Women's Auxiliary members is ENTIRELY unacceptable.
After the service, while everyone was trying to fit into the Bistro one of your WA women was complaining that people had 'Stolen' chairs from 'Her' table and that she HAD to have chairs there.
I witnessed this woman walk up to an elderly lady and try to pull the chair this woman was about to sit on out from under her and then get aggressive with the woman because the woman was holding seats for others who were caught in the blockages that people cause trying to squeeze into an area that is too small for larger crowds.
This woman, I believe her name was Lyn, then re-approached the elderly lady who was sitting on the table next to me and my family and accused her of talking about her, which she was not, and pulled the "I've been a member here for years and my husband was President of this RSL for many years" and to not be so rude. Now, surely if this was the case, Lyn would have KNOWN where to go to get chairs without having to try to pull them out from under a little old lady, and she should know better than to try and pull her husband's previous position, as this was NOT hers and is a position he has not held for at LEAST Eight years, possibly longer. Out of the whole situation, the only one who had been rude to anyone was Lyn, and she should have known better. On days like yesterday, attempting to pull rank on members of the public, of which she has NO idea if they have served or not, this is ENTIRELY unacceptable. This event has soured over a decade and a half's worth of good memories from events at Noble Park RSL, and I will no longer be allowing my children to attend services at your Club if this is the way your members treat the General Public.
