I put a proposal on the wiki page

Peter disagrees with the (too small) scale of this and wants to
discuss
it here.
My main comment was that the proposal didn't 'sit' well with the
government regional structures.

So I do think there is a case for separating London or some greater
south-east area from the rest.
But if we had the south-east and the rest of England, I'd be quite
happy. But at the end of the day, I'm not too bothered about the whole
thing, though I don't really want to put myself forward for
something on
the scale of the whole country, but would happily do so for something
smaller.
The East of England does not include London, but creating a Local
Chapter for the East of England sort of implies that there will also
be ones for London and the other English regions in due course, and
also for Wales and Scotland.
Regarding being bothered.... I think this is likely to be quite a lot
of work to set up and run:- legal body, accounts, membership, annual
returns etc as well as doing something useful. If we want something
simpler then possibly the informal email lists are sufficient.
To be clear, I am not proposing to putting too much effort into this
proposal but would support someone who wanted to do so.
Regards,
Peter
