It filled up some space on the listings page to mask how little social and support space there was out there.
It's grown a bit lately. Now it goes something like this...
(The map is actually from the BiCon 2013 Survey Report; purple splodges are where there were bi groups at the time, pink where they have emerged since. Gold for Edinburgh which hosted that BiCon and has had a bi group since that weekend)
The main population centre missing out is the North East coast - somewhere round Newcastle, is surely crying out for some bi space by now. Yet we haven't had a group in the NE since whenever ComBiNE was meeting - around 1998 I suspect without combing the back numbers of BCN to check.
The other noticeable gaps are round Oxford and - now that the Northern England population belt has broken out of "just Manchester" perhaps Liverpool.
