I realise that the ABRSM are Royal College, Royal Academy, Royal Scottish school and Royal Northern, but why is the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama not a part of the Associated Board? Do they intend to become a part of the AB in the future? Just curious. Any answers? CMorris perhaps??

I have wondered about that also. The college only got its 'Royal' status a couple of years ago, and isn't as old as the others colleges, so maybe that's something to do with it. It's the only conservatoire in Wales, so it's pretty important!
