The first fixture was played on 16/5/11, the last 26/9/11. The distance between the venues, I would estimate, at being upto 30 miles. Those I have suggested for M62, I should think around 20. Though I don't suggest the same calender as Sheffield, I feel a League of 8 teams could be accommodated quite safely in the lighter months.
Further to my M62 suggestion here is a link to chessnuts.
