The Mess as we all knew and largely loved is dead and isn't going to be resurrected anytime soon. As of 01/09/13, I no longer pay Mess Subs and told the Mess Accountant that I would pay my subs in another Mess - she (a Sodhexo employee) didn't care and, quite frankly, neither do I. The PMC didn't care either - it's a garrison mess which I use once a month, if that.
