I always wonder if you can set up a Union, as I did think maybe contact the Cheshire and north wales, and Merseyside and other one and call it the North west union!!
The new Union would have to be of viable size. Four counties would probably be about the minimum.
Then you would have to persuade the ECF to accept the new Union as a Constituent Member.
Originally there were only three Unions: MCCU, NCCU and SCCU, with the SCCU being much larger than it is today.
Then the WECU (1940s) and the EACU (1980s) were formed mainly from former SCCU member counties. The SCCU did not object to their formation and I would not expect them to object to the formation of a new Chiltern Union (although I don't speak for them).
Similarly I would not expect the SCCU to object to the formation of a new North West Union.
However, I am far from confident that no other Union or county would do so.
