I find this thread (and its CDXC version) almost mindboggling....

As far as the contest is concerned, you are supposed to write down 
what the station sent you. If he just sent 'Reading' that is what you 
put. If he said 'Reading and District Amateur Radio Club QRP Section' 
you are supposed to write that all down letter for letter... I 
suspect the adjudicator has a bit of common sense though...

There are countless ways of finding the contact for any RSGB club. 
RadCom Club News where they always appear, The RSGB website, even our 
Bracknell club site has a direct link. Or two seconds with Google. In 
case you haven't found it yet:

http://www.radarc.org/Committee.htm has the full committee and the 
secretary is G3NGX with an email link.

Gosh I thought amateur radio was getting easier...
