In my house in Nottingham, we set up a joint account with Natwest for 
bills. They recommended that we open a "charities and organisations" 
account. Or something like that, can't remember the exact name. Anyway, 
there wasn't any requirement for a members' charter that I can recall, 
and we were even allowed to call the account S.P.E.C.T.R.E. :)

Don't know if this will help at all,

Joe
