My config file says

server 0.centos.pool.ntp.org
server 1.centos.pool.ntp.org
server 2.centos.pool.ntp.org

One is the University of Potsdam, which seems a likely pool member.  The other 
is the National Information Infrastucture Development Office in Budapest - 
again, I would not think that too unlikely.

The zones are listed at http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/europe but I have no idea 
how to find out which servers are in each pool.

In fact it is not the same addresses each day.  The day before I mentioned it, 
the report gave the IP of Research Machines, in Oxfordshire.  Again, a likely 
member of a pool.
