  • Comment. It's been (or at any rate claims to have been) in continuous existence since the reign of Elizabeth I. It is surely one of the .n% of oldest among extant organizations, where n is some ridiculously small number. Does that confer notability? I don't know, I'm just pointing it out. But it must have enough history to make a decent article, you'd think. Herostratus 21:20, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I've added references. It's never going to be a featured article, but I think it can stand on its own.Chris Croy 21:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah. Notability. Um, it's been name-dropped by The Guardian and The Daily Standard, as my references would tell you. Neither referenced article focuses exclusively on it, but I think that's pretty good for a charity that only operates in a 65 mile radius of some English town. I can cough up some references to royalty dropping by their supported organizations if anyone thinks it'd help.Chris Croy 21:53, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
