As a generalisation, groupings based on Diocesan lines tend to be
called Guilds and those on counties Associations. Districts tend to be
based around a major town and cover only part of a county, some being
called a "Society". Societies tend to be, but are not exclusively,
(e.g. Doncaster and District Society) neither based on either church or
county boundaries.
