Can I get some feedback on something?

I'm breaking California up into local areas for my events calendar and I wanted to know if I have enought regions, or too many. Any and all feedback is welcome.

Here are the regions I currently have defined:

They should be based on how far you're willing to travel to be at a meet or event.

I currently have anchors in:

Palmdale
Santa Barbara
Carlsbad
San Diego
Stockton
Monterey
Redding
Oakland
San Francisco
Palm Springs
Ontario
Oxnard
Fresno
San Jose
Los Angeles
Bakersfield
Sacramento
Burbank

Not enough? Too many? Do some overlap too much?

 

thanks for putting burbank and la there

 

I just want to make sure I don't overlook any areas or double-up.

 

i dont know if i understand what you are doing mark?? does this mean that socal is going to have a place to put events on scionetics.com? i would say add temecula and/or riverside to that list too. maybe just break it up into counties like san diego, los angeles, ventura, and riverside counties. maybe even add inland empire to that list. hope that helps a little.

 

Exactly. I haven't lived in California for 20 years so I really am only guessing at the areas.

Each area can have their own events calendar with the roll-call thing. You've seen it, what do you think of the way it works? Then, if you want to see what's going on in other areas, just go to the main events page and pick an area to browse. See the links in my signature? I'm adding one for our local events calendar soon.

Because we took roll-call off of Scion Life we don't have those huge threads of copy after copy of the list of names for any one event. Plus, the admin for each area can email everyone that signs up to remind them the event or changes in the schedule.

 

you totally skipped out on orange county

 

See? I need HELP!

I'll add OC

 

it should just be pacific south east and pacific south west... im willing to drive

 

for the OC how bouth Irvine, Anaheim, and Huntington beach

 

I'll add as many areas as needed. I just don't want to create small groups. It's different in Phoenix, being in a desert, we draw from the entire Valley so 25-40 mile drives to a meet aren't real unusual and we're still operating as one area. Probably will split iinto two someday though.

The bottom line is to help active areas be more organized and to help others get more active. So please keep the suggestions coming.

 

Good to see Santa Barbara get some recognition, people seem to bunch it with northern CA.

 

You can include Lancaster with Palmdale and call it the Antelope Valley or AV. That will include several smallish cities that are in a tight geographical area.

 

I agree with the suggestion of dividing by counties...probably the best route to go.

 

There's also Ventura County. Can't forget us.
