The Unity Society has always met at 122 Mallory Way, the house of one the richest of the Founders of the Club. Over time the name "122" has entered parlance as a sort of nick name (as in "We should inform the rest of one-twenty-two about this"). The club was originally for people interested in the study of TheTownOfUnity (and Rhode Island and New England), especially its history. Over time it has spread its concern to study in general, including that of curiosities.

The society was founded on the 6th of May, 1823, exactly 100 years before the start of the scenario TheGoldenYears. This means none of the founders survive.

In addition to the PlayerCharacters there will be about 2-3 times as many NPC members who are left vague (to allow easy insertion of new PCs and needed NonPlayerCharacters). There is a committee that run The Club but none of the players are in it. Known members of the comittee are:

• (somebody)	ThePresident
  JamesKitchener	Treasurer
  TheresaBeatriceDee	Secretary

It is also known that at some point, there has been a telephone engineer in the society; as the society's telephone number is Unity 122. This must be relatively recently since most people in Unity still use the services of the operator.

Membership is open to all who wish, including women (as two of the founders, AnnetteJenkin and LucilleBatty, were women). Most members are men however. New members are given an 3-months trial membership by a sponsor, after which time they are admitted as members if they pass a two-thirds majority vote. The trial memberships start and end at the monthly membership committee meetings where the votes take place.

Facilities

The society owns houses 122-126, Mallory Way, knocked through to form one big house, as well as another house at 12 Devon Lane where bulky items are stored. The keys to rooms in both locations are kept by MrFlanagan at 122.
