Although those three are the farthest ,the rest are all an hour or just over away

England has 48 Counties.
6 leagues so roughly 8 counties a league.
So visiting seven counties not that bad.
The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

So I guess it is the east-west split rather than north-south?

As a south coast team I would think it is inevitable that you will need to travel a bit further than say a London club - don't forget half of your surrounding area is under water.

Not so sure about that Camquin - one league I have seen suggests clubs from 6 different leagues across the South-West and London divisions will be involved!

The RFU Community Game Update yesterday says that Clubs will next week receive details of the new Leagues and the Cup competition for Level 5 and below.

If OE's are back in action then they start at the bottom of the pyramid - no real discussion to be had there but there were rumours (and that's all they were as far as I am aware) of RFU ongoing investigations at LSE Prem Clubs surrounding CASC registrations and by implication payments to players and coaches beyond the £10k maximum per year??

Deciding what to do with clubs fielding ineligible players is the more likely reason - OE's fate would have been determined some time ago.

Would imagine trying to work out where OEs will go probably took a bit of time

If it's not for clubs complaining about where they get put, it may be because a club or two has done something naughty and the RFU has to get the discipline (and sanctions) out of the way before they can release anything.

It is the Midlands leagues that get shaken up most.
And in the league below, Cumbria is being linked to Northumberland and Durham rather than Lancashire.

In the proposed North West Premier League (my title) I have seen (and posted on this thread) we have regularly played against each of the other teams named.
If I remember correctly, it’s the same for the majority of the North East League according to the President of York rugby club.
Granted that only two out of X new leagues.

Thanks Dickon, I didn't realise that (I wonder if all the clubs do??) in which case we should be on schedule for structure by Friday and fixtures mid-June

I believe variously by 20th May and in the week of 16th May, which are indeed the same thing.
But I do not expect them before Friday.

Structure expected "by 20th May" - fixtures by  "mid June"
I suppose we may experience delay if swamped with appeals (which would appear pointless as I've never heard of one being successful)
