What I can tell you Scotty is that, at present, there are 3 members in Scotland. And I believe you are aware of all of them. (Builders other than this may exist but they have not become members)
As a club we can't share details of members outside of club officers without permission from the member, which makes things tricky. (GDPR)
If a regional group exists, when a member joins, I point them toward a group contact, but it is up to the individual to make that contact. I built the Northern Whats app group through messages on the Forum and contacts on Facebook, not everyone asked joined but it still seems fairly active, even with the group spreading over a large area. We put on about 4 workshop meets a year and we have plans for "car + Coffee" style days in the coming season. We are yet to become an official region with the club (small funding is available for regional development).
It has to start somewhere and with someone in an area, growth up North is steady but we rely upon members from other regions to make our events viable at the moment. This year with the new builds coming through might make enough difference for us to hold sustainable events, here's hoping.
