User Guide: Adding Facilities (rooms etc)

This shows how to add a new facility to both the Corporate and the Scouts pages. 
When the facility etc is to be displayed on both the corporate and scouts pages, there is only one post (contains the actual information), but two pages (one for corporate and one for Scouts).
The post uses custom fields (read-page-scouts and read-page-corporate) to direct to the correct page.
The pages use custom fields (read-post-scouts and read-post-corporate) to pick up the correct post.
