About Us

Welcome to the Melton Mowbray Branch Web Site. If you are a RAFA Member, you are invited to visit our Club Premises in Melton Mowbray. If you are not yet a Member you are also welcome to visit us at any time. We can introduce you to the benefits of membership and, if you wish, can arrange for you to join the RAFA. 

The Tornado Club makes an ideal venue for present and ex-members of the Royal Air Force and their families to meet and to enjoy the comradeship unique to men and women who have served (or are serving) in the RAF.

This web site hopes to keep all past, present, and future Members informed on our social activities, and provide news of past and present members. You are welcome to contribute to its contents.
