Yes Alex, the RAFA thing bothered me as well. Still does actually. However it brought it home to me that the legislation does not allow for a plea of " We did not think it applied to us, we are a private club." Nor for that matter does it allow for " It just wasn't practical, and we try to accommodate, where possible, and besides which, everyone knew in advance we could not offer access."
In much the same way as all-seater football stadiums became de rigour (no excuses tolerated), so disability legislation can, and does, get enforced. Worth recognizing that as a fact, which many at the RAFA club thought could not possibly apply to them. But it did.
