      A not-for-profit corporation must have a "Head office", the
      address of which is in the Letters Patent, and, I believe, in the
      public records.

      This can be changed, IIRC, by a special resolution of the Board,
      which must be ratified by the members in a general meeting.

      I can't imagine Plumcorp doing it without a contact name and
      address, whether that is the "Head Office" or a member's
      address.
