It looks like there's the possibility for a 'Service Group' which looks,
as far as I can see, quite a lot like a site, but may be a slightly better
fit for this purpose than actually setting up a site in the normal manner.
It's not clear to me whether a resource can 'belong' to its actual site, and
be in a service group, or whether it can only belong to one, but I'd suggest
we set up a service group and give it a go. It shouldn't break anything[1].
We are going to need a contact email address for it though - that should be
a mailing list maintained on suitably non-GridPP infrastructure, and also
probably not at RAL.

[1] I mean, what could possibly go wrong, right?
