Retrobike Area Groups 2013

There will be a few changes to the area groups for 2013. This map outlines what they will look like.

The main changes are the creation of the new Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire and South Yorkshire Area group.
Anglian now becomes a stand alone group and the East Midlands expands to take in Staffordshire.

There will also be a few changes to the Area Event Coordinator (AEC) and Deputies (DEC) for these areas too.


In summary here are the area groups.

North Wales: - Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham

South Wales: - Powys, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Monmouthshire and the Valleys

why is west mids pink?.......can i request a more manly, hairy chested colour?.......british racing green perhaps?......its well known in these parts that the greatest ratio of old mountain bikes to slightly effeminate men with chequered slippers occurs in the east midlands........

Now why is the south east pink ? Maybe , speaking as a member of the heterosexual minority , it's a fitting colour ! I do however have Scottish ancestry , so I'll go second claim I think !

I'd say it's more mauve or cerise rather than pink.
The South West is purple or violet or perhaps even 3DV.

The West Midlands is definitely pink though. It's the only way Ed Edwards would have it...

The West Mids is a kind of yogurt pink IMO !
I'm just happy not to be from Anglia , cos that is DEFINATELY baby blue !
