Would be interesting to see how they do it; apart from the building they sit in, they're all non-public funded organisations. I can see the row starting now, who'd be in charge, who's traditions?
The Army already have Garrison/Central messes; probably because when the Regiment deploys, they take their Mess with them - but maybe that's the way ahead, who knows?
