Answer:
Nottingham already has one, and has had one for the past 166 years...
It's open six days per week, from 10am - 10pm,
and only costs £37 per annum. What a bargain!
It's also one of the three elements that enabled me (CD) to develop rapidly as a junior,
the others being my old school NHS, and Graham Waddingham.
My father had been a member in the early sixties when he was a University student,
so that he could use their snooker tables. He took me along in the early eighties, and I started to play for their league teams, and borrow chess books from their extensive library.
These were in the Birkbeck House days. I hadn't realised until a few years ago that they owned the whole building, valued at around £11 million in 2010.
