Regions

The list of regions for both membership registration and the logbook facility are limited. This is because having too many regions would make for less effective aggregated data, e.g. some people may work in the same part of NZ but list it under a different name such as 'Central North Island' vs. 'Tongariro Plateau'. Keeping the region options limited makes for more accurate data analysis. Within the logbook function there is also a LOCATION field - this is a free text field and therefore you can enter what you like here.

Here is a diagram of NZ and how the regions are divided:
