Correct grammar

which is correct:
ABC Club invites you to their function or,
ABC Club invites you to its function
  

Top answer

That depends if you think of the club as being a stand-alone entity or if you think of the club as being made up of many members. You could also change it to "The members of ABC Club" and then "their" is the obvious choice.

If you think of the club as being made up of many members, shouldn't you also change the verb to 'invite' then?

It is correct in BrE to use 'invite' if the club is viewed as being made up of many members.
I don't think it is correct in AmE.

ABC Club invite you to their function.
